So I had an Epiphany, a source for inspiration perhaps.... I was thinking we could submit some of our favorite quotes and the try and match som images to them, new, old whatever, I love good quotes and so i would love to hear some more good ones.

"Man will occasionally stumble upon truth, but ussually he will just pick himself up and carry on"

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHA AAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

      Im glad you know you're wierd in my opinion the only people who are really weird are the ones who think they're not. I know that if i had stumbled across this particular truth (or steped in it) I would sure try and pick mysellf up (and wipe myself off) and carry on.

    I thought about this picture I took several weeks ago of my 86-year-old mother who has lived through 8-1/2 decades of trials and tribulations and has kept her bodhisattva faith and trust intact:

    And I offer this quote:
    Those who don't feel this life pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in the sunset like supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.

    ~Rumi

      Great topic! Tough one, too. Had trouble finding something.
      AllanO, that picture of your mother is amazing. What a great story.

      And Shari, how dare you desecrate that piece of shit by putting a Bush flag in it! Funny pic.

      Here's the most apt one I could dig out of my photo album. Not sure why...

        Oh I didn't do that. Sometime last year, in Germany, some prankster was going around putting Bush flags in piles of poo. The stumbling upon truth part of that quote immediately made me think of it.

      Addendom and my pardon for forgetting where I got the picture:

      That's why the yellow paint is so necessary

              Hey Shell,
              I took that shot while watching a demo at a Blacksmith Conference.
              It was being presented by a fellow named Russell Brousard.
              He's heating a folded leaf forging to make adjustments in it's shape. A master at repousse work, it was a pure pleasure to watch him work!

                Oh I bet it was...there's nothing like working with fire... I've watched blacksmithing never actually got to do it...I did get a chance to blow glass, and taught a Raku class at Ferris after several years of playing :) I wish I had a studio...
