Life is a journey. Which path fits you?

I found myself collecting pictures of paths and roadways and wondering why. I'm not searching anymore. There is a peace inside that tells me I have found my way. I'm on my path. So what attracts me to pathways? The journey. It's the journey that gives us a life to live. 

Life is a journey. We all have a path to follow. Which path fits you?

Water does...

"Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you...

But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone...

Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does..."

~ Margaret Atwood

We Have Permission To Dream

This song touched me. I can't even say why... What was it that captivated me and made me listen to it over and over? 

Since the band is not well known I decided to share it. Maybe it will touch others.

(If you recognize the lead singer you probably watch either General Hospital or Nashville.)

Permission To Dream by Enation

My love when you speak to me
Don’t you beg on the floor
‘Cause you have the right to stand
With your eyes on my throne
There is a road for you
Paved with dreams of your own
I don’t want to hear silence
When I’ve given you the floor
I don’t want to hear the same words
When I’ve called you to more
I don’t want to hear you whisper
When I’ve called you to scream
And in case you didn’t know
You have permission to dream
My love when you feel it rise
Don’t you resist, anymore
‘Cause what you feel is from my heart
And it’s meant to break and restore
I don’t want you to hesitate
When you’ve been called to explore
I don’t want to see you weary
When you’ve been made to soar
I don’t want to see you afraid
When I made you for war
I don’t want you to play the victim
When I’ve given you a sword
I don’t want to hear you whisper
When I’ve called you to scream
And in case you didn’t know
You have permission to dream
What do you want? Tell me
What do you see? Tell me
What do you dream? Tell me

God reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality. Morality is of the highest importance -- but for us, not for God."

Faith looks Forward

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead

"The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break."
~J.R.R. Tolkien

About the piece from the artist:

"At times, Nature is the master of Humanity... and at other times, Humanity certainly rules Nature.

Nature makes us hurry inside when she weeps rain upon the world. With hurricanes, she toys with us. Tornadoes are used to punish, earthquakes to throw us about like pebbles in a child's game. We live on her land, and through that, she rules over us. Our very bodies belong to her - they age in rhythm with her, and they are subject to urges and desires that she imposes on us. In some ways, we're little but slaves to Nature's ways.

But Humanity... on the other hand... has found another way to dominate. Humanity destroys what we touch. We reach out towards pretty things in greed, and leave a trail of death behind. We fence the woods in, we run over the animals and poison the seas. Ours is a different kind of mastery but it is one nevertheless. Nature serves us because she has no other choice. Humanity always expects Nature to mend what damage we've done: heal the woods burned down, return the animals hunted to extinction and cleanse the seas... never considering what will happen the day Nature is no longer there to catch us.

In this piece, I tried to show this relationship. Humanity a naïve yet destructive burden, the smile on her lips slight and dreamy as she thinks of the beautiful flowers she will pluck and the lovely birds she will see while all around her these very things now fade away. She's blind to the destruction she causes. She knows that Nature will be there for her, she knows that there will always be the scent of flowers and always the gentle surge of the sea. She is Nature's master in that Nature has no choice but to try to catch her and always try to mend the damage she has done... but she is Nature's slave because she must breathe the air, drink the water and eat the food that only Nature can give her."
