Written by Lainne on Monday, May 25, 2009 "The myth holds us, therefore, not through its romantic flavor, not the remembrance of beauty of some bygone age, not through the possibilities of fantasy, but because it expresses to us something real and existing in ourselves, as it was to those who first stumbled upon the symbols to give them life." - Mark Rothk I believe that imagination trumps knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams possess more power than facts. That story is the thread that holds us together. Take five and enjoy this tale (the story starts on page 9): The Myth of the Motley Phoenix Happy Monday!!! Labels: Happy Monday, Lainne, myth Written by Lainne on Monday, May 18, 2009 I went on a beautiful walk today. En route I met a new four legged friend. A little puppy, full of spunk and desperate for attention. He was in his front yard surrounded by an iron fence, and all alone. He was sticking his nose through the fence in hopes that he might catch someone's attention. I love puppies of all kinds so I was thrilled to stop and give him a pet. He was very thankful and showed his appreciation with wet kisses. I was overcome by a feeling of joy. I said bye to the puppy and continued on my way. Funny thing-my puppy encounter left me shining with a happiness that stayed with me for most of the day. It got me thinking about what other things or encounters have had that effect on me, and if I have ever had that effect on anyone... something to aspire to. How many people's (or puppies) lives can I shine some light into?
Labels: Happy Monday, Lainne, puppies Written by Lainne on Monday, May 11, 2009 I just saw the new Star Trek movie. It was great! Full of action, adventure, passion, heroes, villains, and triumph. I left the theatre beaming, throwing air punches, and imagining myself as one of the characters in the movie, the star, of course. I kicked some serious butt in my day dream. For the rest of the day I walked around with kind of a floating feeling. I felt excited by life and all the cool things we can do. We can captain a space ship, we can sail a pirate ship in the high seas, we can ninja kick our way through an army of opponents, we can sing in front of thousands of adoring fans, we can fly, name it and it can be done. From any where, at any time, you can day dream your way to anything. Isn't imagination fun! Happy Monday!!! Labels: Day Dreaming, Happy Monday, Lainne Written by Lainne on Monday, May 4, 2009 Our values and actions are contagious. What are you thinking about? Are you thinking small, getting caught up in details, or consumed with the question "how"? Or are you dreaming, living large, and thinking BIG? One small shift in perception, one change in old belief's, one instance of over coming fear can rock your world and set you free. Reach for the thoughts that warm you like sunlight, that charge your battery full of energy, and that nourish your soul. Happy Monday!!! Labels: Happy Monday, Lainne, Thoughts |
