I look above, you look below
what in the middle find?
the layers of these bricks you see
no more the daily grind
Another Delightful Daily Post Photography Challenge – Angular
What angle do you like to shoot?
I have known plenty
I have known want
I learned more from one
and little from the other
it takes no imagination
no strength of character
to spend large amounts of money
you never have to balance
need with want
you just buy
throwing
bored
the bag
into the
corner
YES
I have known plenty
and I have known want
it takes ingenuity and creativity
to stretch one dollar, one pound or euro
to last seven days
and at the end of the week
to look the paper in the face
see an upturned hand in need
smile as it becomes another’s
I have known plenty
and I have known want
what I learned
about spending money
can fill one tablespoon
what I learned
from having none
can fill volumes of books
p e r h a p s
you will
be the
spice
of
L

So many people will attribute success to having money and things. Why is this the case? Over the centuries, some of the greatest minds had very little; most of the most talented artists, musicians and poets were poor. I have never been wealthy (not in the material sense) but I have known some extremely wealthy people and was sad at their inability to think or use their resources for anything but themselves. (dont get me wrong I have also known people who had money, lived simply and gave their money abundantly to help others.) I think money is a tool (like a wrench or a mixer). If you know how to use such an implement, you can fix things that are broken or you can create a new spicy dish. If you do not, then they are worthless pieces of metal. (or paper)
The wordpress prompt for Post a Day is the Spice of Success.
If “failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor” (Truman Capote), how spicy do you like your success stories?
The golden hour
when light fuses with nature
birds finish their nest building
fire flys get their cue
and we exhale
… another day
I love the way that the light diffuses and warms at the end of the day – the architecture has a warm glow to it’s ivory texture
Thanks to this week’s wordpress photo challenge “The Golden Hour”
Ahhh the delight we gather in the laughter of a child
sweet bubbling laughter
discovery light’s each day
catch the song of a child
as he delight’s in simple play

Lurking in the background
just beyond my sight
is a shadowy presence
evokes in me much fright
*
will darkness creep still slowly?
passing through the gate
what is it dark is holding?
I gasp at what’s at stake
**
Please bar the door – protect us
do not unleash the beast
can’t you hear it gnashing
thinking me its feast?

Lurking in the background
just beyond my sight
is a shadowy presence
will I last the night?

I love angles so this weekly photo challenge from WordPress was perfect “From Above”
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe
