She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…

The fact that children can make beautiful music is less significant than the fact that music can make beautiful children -

Music . . . can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable. - Leonard Bernstein
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue. - Plato
Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. - Plato

I have been fortunate to be REALLY busy with work. But it IS long hours, and we have cement floors. This morning I was in back complaining to Davey how my legs hurt, were tired...nag, nag, nag. Bell rings, we have a new customer set the door alarm off, I walk up to see this next customer an it is a one-legged painting contractor. Um yup Lord, Lesson understood. Grateful
These guys are easy to hear as they deliver their two-note call in a subdued tone from the tops of tree canopies. They seem to fly about languidly, but they can be hard to lay eyes on because of dense foliage.
I was able to photograph this bird three separate times, but all shots had limited light. In another, the bird was perched a bit too high.
I wish this shot were brighter, but it does show a sense of the dense tropical forest.

If you've followed me for awhile on Flickr, you KNOW the Pronghorn is my all-time favorite North American animal, second only to the African Cheetah. They just happen to have something in common - speed. No speed here, though, evidently just a little lesson in the art of the duel. I gotta wonder how animals communicate - the smaller buck is, in my mind, clearly getting some instruction from the senior - you could pretty much read the big guy's lips. In fact, they physically interacted just moments before, so maybe junior is getting graded before they face off again. What a joy.
You're not wondering why I cut off the big guy -- not often I get caught with too much glass. And if you were wondering about the pronghorn's speed - maybe 55mph in a burst; the cheetah burst as much as 70mph.
First about the watch:
This is a vintage (mid 1970ties) Chinese wrist watch Seagull (海鸥) ST5-D (29J automatic movement). It came with original manual and original bracelet, but shown here on a steel mesh bracelet.
Nice silver pie pan dial.
The ST5-D was the first indigenous Chinese automatic movement, made by the Tianjin Watch Factory (天津手表厂).
That pocket dictionary used as a prop is not too good, but it has the character 表 at the right place for the photo.
Now for your Chinese lesson:
The character 表 biǎo has many meanings, more than given in that dictionary, most usage in a technical context is for anything with a dial. Depending what other characters it is combined with one gets the actual meaning.
Examples:
表带 biǎo dài watchband
手表 shǒubiǎo wristwatch
钟表 zhōngbiǎo clock
压力表 yālì biǎo pressure gauge
高度表 gāodù biǎo altimeter

Immature Red-tailed hawk entered territory nest of Bald Eagles
The hawk was able to fly away while I was watching (I enlarged the photos) and after that I didn't see any blood on its body, after the Bald eagle's claws, anything could have happened.
This holiday special edition for my Flickr friends ,Happy Halloween .
These young adult bears had found a porcupine and the one on the right payed the price. Sometimes life's lessons are learned the hard way. On a positive note I have some face shots of the one on the right and it's eyes were unharmed.
never stand up in a canoe & take a picture...... and your good camera at that

I stole this title from the wonderful song Life Lessons by Wyatt Lopez. This father and son duo, were lovely to watch. Oak Island, NC
The theme for Smile on Saturday is"look up to the sky".I have many images as it is my favorite past time but this made me smile.For our wedding anniversary in 2010 I gifted John flying lessons. I had forgotten what a joy it was for him as he took his freedom flight' As I stood on the ground looking up to the sky, , the plane accelerated, beginning to disappear from view. I recall feeling that same joy for him. I hope this makes you smile
The photograph being looked at here is actually very important. Unfortunately the name of the photographer is unknown. It was taken in 1912 and shows a women's life drawing class at the Launceston Technical College where Lucien Dechaineux (1869-1957) had been in charge of the art department. Dechaineux taught composition classes to the Tasmanian photographer Jack Cato. Have a look at this brilliant Cato portrait: searchthecollection.nga.gov.au/object/155474
But we know Cato didn't take this photograph because he was already working in London at the time.
eprints.utas.edu.au/18371/1/Lucien_Dechaineux_1869-1957_F...
However, the real significance of this photo is, (1) that the artists' model here is actually Lucien Dechaineux, and (2) that it shows Hope Evershed, the first female art teacher at the Launceston Technical College, guiding a group of female students in a lesson.
