"Real obstacles don't take you in circles. They can be overcome. Invented ones are like a maze." ~ Barbara Sher
So, I suppose we have to sort through what is a real obstacle and what is imagined before we can look at tackling it. I feel like that just simplified everything for me!
I hope you are overcoming the true obstacles in your way! Karen :)
After writing the blog on hope, I saw this again and was reminded what an amazing part that friends play in our journey. So, I thought I would share it;
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." ~Albert Schweitzer
I am very thankful for friends. :) Enjoy your day! Karen :)
Please take a moment to go to the Asatru Military Family Support Program's web site to sign our petition asking the Department of Veterans Affairs to authorize Thor's Hammer on headstones for veterans of the Asatru Faith.
It's easy! Go to http://hammerproject.org ...then click on "Sign Petition" on the navigation bar...then at the bottom of the page that comes up, hit "Sign Petition!"
Feel free to leave comments, especially if you are a veteran!
Please pass this on to everyone you know - regardless of religion, politics, pro- or anti-war! - who might sign it.
Oh - enjoy the rest of the site while you're there, too!
Interesting quote about discovery I wanted to pass along; "Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." ~Michelangelo
I think we sometimes feel like discovery is when you look hard enough, you find gold. But for Michelangelo, I think he viewed discovery as imagination!
What a cool discovery! ;) He also said; "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."
If you have seen his art before, you may agree that it's quite extraordinary and that he is a good example of having a good attitude about it. :)
I hope you find your art inside your block of stone. I think most of us can feel surrounded by stones most of the time.
"Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves or their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid. "~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This really got me thinking this morning. This quote talks about how Misery has an extra shadow with it.
"You don't merely suffer, but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each day in endless grief, but I live each day thinking about living each day in endless grief."~C.S. Lewis
I am thinking if we all went back to just having misery and got rid of it's shadow (where we think too much about it) it might be more manageable! LOL!
Hi Eric, was in Chester last Sat. its only an hour away from where I live, popped into the Cathedral, as you know I have a keen interest in 'Green Man' images and Chester cathedral has quite a few! Took a pic of the tomb of St Werburgh (pity her bones are no longer there tho) so hopefully it will turn out ok when its uploaded.
Its a disgrace the Cathedral doesn't receive any funding from the Government or the Church of England for its upkeep but is solely reliant on £4.00 entrance fee and donations. And one of the best things of the day was .....the rain kept off!! : )
Im still hoping to get to Oswestry/Llangollen sometime next month if I can, so fingers crossed.
