The road to success is always under construction. —Anonymous

Love this quote. Whether the road is to a romantic relationship, a better job, a new lifestyle, a larger bank account, whatever it is, it’s not always easy getting from point A to B. There may be detours, lanes closed, back-to-back traffic, may be stray animals in the road you have to dodge, Mr. Mayhem could be tryna distract you. You may get tired of waiting and take a quicker path (good luck with that). You never know what you’ll come across on the road to success. Being patient, careful and keeping your eyes on the road (and not the rear-view mirror) will help get you where you want to go.

Life only comes around once , so do whatever makes you happy and be with whoever makes you smile.
Author Unknown,

By replacing fear of the unknown with curiosity we open ourselves up to an infinite stream of possibility. We can let fear rule our lives or we can become childlike with curiosity, pushing our boundaries, leaping out of our comfort zones, and accepting what life puts before us.

Alan Watts

“Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain.”
― Billie Holiday

Friends are the angels that lift us up when our wings forget how to fly (author unknown).

Happy Tuesday <3<3<3
 

Some days (like today) I love Ava and some days not so much. The same is with Toni Morrison and James Baldwin. They didn’t tell their stories to make us feel better, they told them to make us face some truths. I’m not in the mood for truths today, just some advice.

Thanks for your quote today, it is perfect!

Love Rod Serling!
 

"Violence does not spring from a vacuum. It's born out of other men's violence. It gets nurtured and it grows in a soil of prejudice and of hate and of bigotry."

Rod Serling





This quote is quite prescient in light of the current madness enveloping the GOP.

Being a huge fan of The Twilight Zone his insights of his time dovetails into what is happening right now!

Serling's time in Leyte shaped his writing and political views for the rest of his life. He saw death every day while in the Philippines, at the hands of his enemies and his allies, and through freak accidents such as that which killed another Jewish private, Melvin Levy. Levy was delivering a comic monologue for the platoon as they rested under a palm tree when a food crate was dropped from a plane above, decapitating him. Serling led the funeral services for Levy and placed a Star of David over his grave.[2]: 45  Serling later set several of his scripts in the Philippines and used the unpredictability of death as a theme in much of his writing.[2]: 46  In the 1960 Twilight Zone episode "The Purple Testament", a prologue written by Serling stated, "Infantry platoon, U.S. Army, Philippine Islands, 1945. These are the faces of the young men who fight, as if some omniscient painter had mixed a tube of oils that were at one time earth brown, dust gray, blood red, beard black, and fear—yellow white, and these men were the models. For this is the province of combat, and these are the faces of war."

His daughter Anne Sterling is very proud of her father, I wrote to her last year stating the admiration I have with her dad. I didn't expect a reply, but she wrote back with a warm "thank you."

Let this one sink in.
 

FIRST THEY CAME

By Martin Niemöller


First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

Ralph Waldo Emerson ❤️
 

not sure where where i found this but i do love it

'and I knew when I entered her I was
high wind in her forests hollow
fingers whispering sound
honey flowed
from the split cup
impaled on a lance of tongues
on the tips of her breasts on her navel
and my breath'
howling into entrances
through lungs of pain…

“They say that time changes things,
but you actually have to change them yourself,”
