As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
-Henry David Thoreau
Well, despite our fears we enjoyed a spectacular lunar ecliptical show last night. Unlike yesterday’s post, these images were actually taken, so very carefully, by my own very self. While at the same time staving off frostbite and yelling at spastic, bouncing kids (full moon, yeah?!?!) to “stop running around the Goddamned camera” and “if one of you runs into this Goddamned camera…” and a little, “JeeesusssssChrisssst! Zip, if you’re gonna throw effing ice chunks, do it AWAY FROM THE GODDAMNED CAMERA!!!!” Aaaah… family time under the magic of a full moon, rising. In fact, eclipsing.
This image was in fact the result of being bumped- Oh, God, did I freak! But then, I looked in my itsy bitsy little screen and what d’ya know… pretty cool.
After the miscreant’s fortuitous “bump”. After my wailing at him in the dark like some freak banshee. I decided to fool around. Like this:
Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. -Orison Swett Marden
Say It!
… when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. - John Keats
Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie
