Seize The Day

Here's lookin @you kid
Kay Lynn Gabaldon

“Although time seems to fly, it never travels faster than one day at a time.
Each day is a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest.
 In each waking day, you will find scores of blessings
and opportunities for positive change. Do not let your TODAY
be stolen by the unchangeable past or the indefinite future! 
Today is a new day!”
Steve Maraboli

Siesta

Sleepy
Norbert Becke

“Sleep my little baby

Sleep until you waken

When you wake you'll see the world

If I'm not mistaken...

Kiss a lover

Dance a measure,

Find your name

And buried treasure...

Face your life

Its pain,

Its pleasure,

Leave no path untaken.”

― Neil Gaiman

Step And Repeat

Old Beginnings
Jonas Kekko

“The end of THE END is the best place to begin THE END,
because if you read THE END from the beginning of the beginning
of THE END to the end of the end of THE END, you will arrive at the end.”

The Rebellion of Socrates

The Rebellion of Socrates
Patrizia Burra

“If you don't get what you want, you suffer;
if you get what you don't want, you suffer;
even when you get exactly what you want,
you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.
Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change.
Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death.
But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.”
Socrates

Waiting For The World to Change

"Waiting For The World to Change"
Bara Kenz

What happened in a church in Charleston, South Carolina on a Wednesday night is a lot of things, but one thing it's not is "unthinkable." Somebody thought long and hard about it. Somebody thought to load the weapon. Somebody thought to pick the church. Somebody thought to sit, quietly, through some of Wednesday night bible study. Somebody thought to stand up and open fire, killing nine people, including the pastor. Somebody reportedly thought to leave one woman alive so she could tell his story to the world. Somebody thought enough to flee. What happened in that church was a lot of things, but unthinkable is not one of them.

What happened in a Charleston church on a particular Wednesday night is a lot of things, but one thing it's not is "unspeakable." We should speak of it often. We should speak of it loudly. We should speak of it as terrorism, which is what it was. We should speak of it as racial violence, which is what it was.
