THANKYOU

to  whiskeyriver

for these two quotes which are precisely what I need to hear right now:

"At every moment you choose yourself. But do you choose your self? Body and soul contain a thousand possibilities out of which you can build many I's. But in one of them is there a congruence of the elector and the elected. Only one - which you will never find until you have excluded all those superficial and fleeting possibilities of being and doing with which you toy, out of curiosity or wonder or greed, and which hinder you from casting anchor in the experience of the mystery of life, and the consciousness of the talent entrusted to you which is your I."  Dag Hammarskjöld 

"I'm for mystery, not interpretive answers.
The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. So they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." Ken Kesey

Back soon with resolutions to resolve.

GOOD FRIDAY THANKS TO DEAR DEPARTED

Yesterday seemed a good day to remember and honour loved ones who are no longer here. I am forever grateful to them for being in my life, for long or short times, and I want to say to their absent souls that I am sincerely sorry for not thanking them more often and I am sorry too for not giving them more of myself and not asking them more questions about themselves while they were still around.

Thank you Sacha and Blanche, my parents; Gerardo, my brother-in-law; Alex, my cousin; Vlad, my uncle; Jacques, my uncle (apologies for the badly remembered profile sketch); Nenette, my aunt; Alice, my aunt; Juliette, my grandmother; Constant, my grandfather; Baboushka and Diedouchka; Reg, Pat, Roy, Ted, Peg, Alexis, Michel and Suzanne, Mircea, Bernard, Mary, Decherd, and to all those whose names I may have neglected or forgotten to include but who are nevertheless recorded and preserved in the tangible and intangible matter which is who I am. May they rest in peace and when they get up from their rest, fly about with all the joie de vivre they had in this life and none of its sadness.

Pictures of the dear departed are on my BLAUGUSTINE post for this date. I couldn't find a way to upload them all over here in the box-table that I made in Dreamweaver. There's a limit to what you can do design-wise in Blogger.

SHOE WITH SOUL
