1)
The above is a SCULPTURE by Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini. Post renaissance sculptor. I believe he sculpted the above at age 23. Amazing.
2) Coincidence: I have been thinking a lot about the things in my life and how much of it depends on chance. I have met some of my very best friends by a simple chance encounter–same place, same time. What if I was a few seconds late? Would someone else have entered my life instead, or would I have continued on as I do? There are so many people out there that I do not yet know, but they could be some of my best friends if I could only meet them. Who am I missing out on?
3) Beauty: When people ask: is he/she attractive/hot/pretty/cute/etc, it’s hard for me to respond. You know what they say, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”…well the fact of the matter is, everyone is beautiful. It just depends how shallow you are! I can see people as aesthetically pleasing, but it’s difficult for me to interpret attraction.
4) Lyrics:
“let it be printed on every t-shirt in this land/on the finest of cottons and the hippest of brands” Andrew Bird
“Big bottom,/Drive me out of my mind./How can I leave this behind?” Spinal Tap. hahah
“Steven A. Douglas was a great debater/But Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator” Sufjan Stevens
“Every minute I go takes the smell of your clothes further away/’Cause you’ve gone away/Where there isn’t a telephone wire” My Brightest Diamond
“this is how it works/you peer inside yourself/you take the things you like/and try to love the things you took/and then you take that love you made/and stick it into some–/someone else’s heart/pumping someone else’s blood/and walking arm in arm/you hope it don’t get harmed/but even if it does/you’ll just do it all again” Regina Spektor
Please enjoy the loveliness.
‘Til next time–
