Life of Me



Questions easy. Answers hard.


One action silences many words.


Find in your own will a way.


Cynicism is cyanide to the spirit.


Being silent for truth is more damning than shouting the lie.


You stand and fight or you quit. You can lose two ways but win only one. And winning is not always first place.  


Follow your heart, not others.


Courage is taking a stand when the outcome is uncertain.


Be not say.


When perfect, you may criticize. 
Having fallen, be silent again.


Death is patient. Death does not quit.
Life is impatient. Life does not quit.
Do not quit.


Prejudice is the last bastion of ignorance.


There is no comfort in the thinking, only in the doing.


Don't tell me what you can't do.
Show me what you can do.


If I wanted to be liked by everyone I'd change my name to Bacon.


Aging is the ultimate adversary.


There is little worth seeing and nothing worth remembering along the easy road.


One shortcut to glory is demeaning to all.


A friend is not someone who does things for you. A friend is for you.


An excuse is a transparent cover over the deep well that is regret.


Love is not always easy but it is always worth the love.


Courage is often heroic. It is also the ability to see tomorrow.


Should we live for one million years, it will not be enough time at the end.


Love wins over hate. Humor takes second.


Better to be in orbit than in the obits.


Life: the leading cause of death.


"Ye who are weary come home"

What Baxter taught me:
Life is short and should you know this is your last day together
You can never love them enough.
You will live a life of regret knowing this to be true.
Forever makes this life the infinite speck in the infinite universe
Lesson from a dog...love one in this moment.
It is all the life you get.

A dog's love is the one perfect thing. We all fall short.

Mortality is freeing her sweet embrace.

Having lived longer than my grandfather and father, my views have changed over the years. Although I still believe and prefer good over evil, in the end I believe the universe does not care in the least what our frantic goings-on have to do with anything whatsoever. We are beyond insignificant.

The universe does not care. About anything. It is all and nothing at all.

This makes me a Nihilist I suppose. It doesn't give you the right to do whatever you please because there are zero consequences in the end. Nothing matters. Nothing will be remembered in the endless construct of time. Yet we still live in a world of those who exist in the now.

*******

The only rule worth remembering is the golden one in my simpleton view. And when they do that to you, don't forget what they chose as well.

*******

To know suffering, suffer alone.

*******

Those who bring light into the darkness keep the hounds of ignorance at bay. Yet they howl.

Passionflower

Giving birth

Newborn on passionflower leaf

 
Consuming passionflower
 

Time to sleep, to dream


Time to fly

Courage transcends mortality.
