Isn't life a bit like this too ?

In order to be as free as I possibly can in my own imagination, I can't take positions that are closed. Everything I've ever done, in the writing world, has been to expand articulation, rather than to close it, to open doors, sometimes, not even closing the book -- leaving the endings open for reinterpretation, revisitation, a little ambiguity. I detest and loathe [those categories]. I think it's off-putting to some readers, who may feel that I'm involved in writing some kind of feminist tract. I don't subscribe to patriarchy, and I don't think it should be substituted with matriarchy. I think it's a question of equitable access, and opening doors to all sorts of things. 

~ Toni Morrison

Do not believe...

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.  


Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.  


Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.  


Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. 


Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.  


But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.  


~Buddha

A picture is worth a thousand words...

"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." 

~ Elliott Erwitt

Celebrate your life

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” - Oprah 

So true. 

Be content ...

Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.

~Lao Tzu
