Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolutions.

“We are fragile creatures, and it is from this weakness, not despite it, that we discover the possibility of true joy.”

Quote ― Desmond Tutu

  

We had some 'wet' snow falling this morning, but it melted away immediately …...

Happy Weekend :-))

Softness is not a weakness,

it takes courage to remain delicate in a world so cruel !!

Hey Everyone ! Have a wonderful week ahead .. enjoy yourselves and spread some love around ! Thanks again for having a look ! .. Twain 💖

I have a weakness for backlit leaves, and when they're as beautiful as this one I have to go with it.

I think this one is a sycamore.

"Softness is not weakness.

It takes courage to stay delicate

in a world this cruel."

Part of getting through life is accepting, and dealing with, our weaknesses. Which doesn't mean they aren't still a pain in the butt.

 

Me, I'm over-sensitive to all kinds of sensory input - and input affecting my sensors. For instance, even in August in our constant ocean breezes, I daren't go outside without my ears covered.

 

This is, of course, a huuuge pain. When everyone else is out in shorts and bathing suits, I'm sweating with a big fleecy band around my head. It sucks, but the alternative (excruciating ear aches) sucks a whole lot worse.

 

I'm also overly sensitive to noise. And bright light. Especially bright flashing light that hits my eyes unexpectedly. So... imagine how much fun I am as a companion at a rawk show. Normally I take along ear plugs. Last night I forgot.

 

I guess I was lulled into complacency by the fact that the show was at a theatre. A play house. A place I last attended in my teens, when I saw some Shakespearean production there. So yeah... I went in plugless. And immediately regretted it. Still... I was up for enjoying myself... until the %$(*&$%(&ing light show started.

 

I can't imagine whose idea it was to flash big spotlights directly into the audience's eyes repeatedly throughout the night. Probably the same wise person who decided a super-bright sign behind the band... illuminated by 10,000 1,000 watt bulbs... was also a very good thing to flash repeatedly in the audience's eyes.

 

What really amazed me was that no one else seemed bothered. Whereas I was in several sorts of agony all night.

 

The bright flashing lights. Fuck, man. I thought I was gonna have a seizure or something. I ended up spending most of the night doubled over with my head in my lap, eyes closed, hands clamped over my face. Every time I tried to enjoy actually watching the band... zappo! Unexpected blasts of super-bright white light set off pinball explosions in my brain.

 

So today is pretty much a write-off. Migraine city, man.

 

And I HATE HATE HATE that my body is so delicate.

 

I'm from sturdy peasant stock. Why am I so fragile? Why do things that normal people take in stride disable me?

 

Sorry for the whining self-pity. Kee-rist. At least I know, without a doubt, that I am now too old for rawk shows. Goodbye youth. Your time has come and gone. From now on I'll just satisfy myself by listening to records at home.

 

I'm always moving. and when i am still i feel restless.

View On Black

 

I'm beginning to realize some things. like...

 

its okay to do nothing for just a moment.

and most of the time i feel guilty for not being productive because my body has been trained to constantly be occupied. but in those moments when i am still, if i set aside my restlessness, sometimes i can really....just breathe.

 

my heart is really weak. but so much stronger than i think it is.

 

spending time with the creator of the universe is something i struggle with.

even though when i do, its the most beautiful, lavishing moments of my life. and i'm not just talking about reading the bible, but actually just, marveling over him and what he has created, and worshiping him through song, or art, or photographs.

  

aren't taste buds the most amazing thing? i mean, why do we even need them but to enjoy and experience the Earth's nourishment.

       

My weakness is Chocolate Biscuits, my wife always knows when I have been eating them....... Because of all those pesky Crumbs!

“With all of the bad things that are happening in the world right now, I think we need a message of togetherness and true unity. I believe that starts with personal reflection and then we can find kindness toward each other.”

 

― Marielle Heller ―

 

“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”

Taken at Penambol Conservation Park near Mt Gambier.

 

The Sinkhole or Cenote is formed over many years of water erosion in the limestone bedrock.

 

Rain water which is slightly acidic seeps into the ground and dissolve the limestone along lines of weakness.

 

As the limestone continue to dissolve, the horizontal and vertical weakness developed into a cave.

 

Over time the size of the cave becomes bigger as the weakend limestones collapsed under their own weight.

 

Eventually the cave enlarged to a point that its roof could not be supported.

 

The collapsed of this surface material created the geological

feature called a Cenote or Sinkhole.

 

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves..it is always appreciated.

Friends understand you on a deeper level. They know your quirks, strengths, and weaknesses. They accept you for who you are.

 

Lexi and Autumn have celebrated my achievements ,provided a shoulder to lean on during tough times and offer emotional support and guidance.

 

Most recently we've found ways to listen to each while also dancing at the same time which has helped in ways, that I know they understand.

 

I cherish the time throughout the years that we have spent together. I love you girls!

One fine day i had a snap session with him. I make brutal art that day - to be honest, of course i didn´t. As always, I took one trillion snaps and then deleted almost all of them. He really has been so humble and kind, he was very patient with me. He always behaved like a gentelman.

 

Another time we had a conversation where he talked about not being perfect and facing life as best he can. That impressed me very much, because people in our "perfect world" are afraid of showing weakness and rarely talk about having flaws. I think that says everything about him as the human being.

 

Without art I would never have met him, so I'm thankful for this moments. His attitude towards life and his way of treating people well shows the truth in his heart. Always reach for the stars, my friend Arnno.

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

But they know me better than that

They know me better than that

They know my weaknesses

I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses

I never denied them

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

How can a view become so twisted

How can a view become so twisted

They know my weaknesses

I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses

You tried them

I get so carried away

You brought me down to earth

I thought we had something precious

Now I know what it's worth

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I heard it from my friends

About the things you said

I've never felt so disappointed

Never felt so disappointed

They know my weaknesses

I never tried to hide them

They know my weaknesses

Thought that you liked them

They know me better than that

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but

of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.

They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.

The quiet sense of something lost...-- Tennyson

_______________

 

That feeling where something is happening–a thread of your life is losing its elasticity and slipping from your grasp; it is slipping so quickly you cannot think of what to do, how to save it, and yet it is slipping so slowly, drawing out every question of hesitation, every second of regret.

 

I can’t be the only person who knows this feeling.

 

It is the sense that a crossroad is soon looming in the near horizon, ready to shake your foundation and force you to make a choice.

 

It is the sense that every word, every action, every decision will shape a little bit more of who you are and who you will become.

 

It is the sense that illuminates every weakness in you, every bit of traction inside of you.

 

It is, in the words of Tennyson, “the quiet sense of something lost.”
