I am filled with you.
Skin, blood, bone, brain, and soul.
There's no room for lack of trust or trust.
Nothing in this existence but that existence.

And There Plucked A Strange, Beautiful Flower,
And What If When You Awoke, You Have The Flower In Your Hand?
Ah. . . . . . .
What Then?"

I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired. I think the reason dance has held such an ageless magic for the world is that it has been the symbol of the performance of living. Many times I hear the phrase "the dance of life." It is close to me for a very simple and understandable reason. The instrument through which the dance speaks is also the instrument through which life is lived: the human body. It is the instrument by which all the primaries of experience are made manifest. It holds in its memory all matters of life and death and love.
-Martha Graham

Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not

am not an entity in this world or in the next,
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two
worlds as one and that one call to and know,
first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.'

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives
mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who,
instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures,
have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion,
who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement,
who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing
and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares...

Awww thanks Dev! I can't believe I've never seen that movie - will def rent soon! Yeah it def made my year meeting him... he is my all time favorite so it was a significant day for me.
Beyond the Rocks has been listed in archives as a completely lost film (but has been now found) A complete record of the way the film was publicized and received in the press exists in Gloria Swanson’s voluminous scrapbooks, meticulously preserved by her before they became part of the collection of the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center in Austin, Texas. Swanson saved every scrap of paper, every newspaper article, interview, photograph, or press release that appeared about her in newspapers and magazines, worldwide.
We went to Malibu together to get huggs from Amma!!! Don't you remember? I was there... It's more than ten years ago but I'll never forget. (+ Wow, I'd love to find out what my name would be if I was named after the first thing my mom saw outside, after my birth?...)
Beyond the Rocks is a 1922silentdrama film directed by Sam Wood, starring Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson. IT is based on the novel of the same name by Elinor Glyn. The film is a melodrama about a woman (Swanson) forced to marry an older, wealthy man. Just before her marriage she meets a young nobleman (Valentino). While in the Alps on her honeymoon, they meet once more and still later, in Paris, meet a third time and fall in love. When the woman's husband finds out about her feelings for the nobleman, he confronts the man, but after further consideration,
this is me with my cousin's parrot in lima, peru. the parrot can not only talk (hola, como estas?) but he literally knows when he is being photographed and "strikes a pose." i have long been fascinated with birds.
devora - now that is a STUNNING picture of butterflies. i find it fascinating how they are formed in their infamous metamorphosis process of the caterpillar.
peru is filled with a multitude of birds as the rain forest covers part of the country. one bird that caught my attention is the SNOWY EGRET.
Adults are typically 61 centimetres (24 in) long and weigh 375 grams (13.2 oz) They have a slim black bill and long black legs with yellow feet. The area of the upper bill, in front of the eyes, is yellow but turns red during the breeding season, when the adults also gain recurved plumes on the back, making for a "shaggy" effect. The juvenile looks similar to the adult, but the base of the bill is paler, and a green or yellow line runs down the back of the legs.

It could have been Jane Forth, she's so unique... She must have been about 27 back then. I read she has a son who's a tattoo artist in Florida...? She lives in Woodstock now, same amazing looks, same great style.
