Best thing of my life this week. LET’S OPEN UP THIS PIT. ROOOOAAAOAAOAWR.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched this. But each time I watch it I get the overwhelming feeling that I can do anything. Here’s hoping you can, too.

Thank you, Ian for sharing this.

On roses

by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance (1841)

Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright

He dares not say ‘I think,’ ‘I am,’ but quotes some saint or sage.
He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.

These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God to-day.
There is no time to them.
There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
Before a leaf-bud has burst, its whole life acts; in the full-blown flower there is no more; in the leafless root there is no less.

Its nature is satisfied, and it satisfies nature, in all moments alike.

But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future.
He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.

I feel so Myspace…

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? 
So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your music library 
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool…

I could piss and moan about my current situation, but there are too many good things happening to me for me to do that.

Today was the first time in my life I can say that God answered a prayer. What I do with that is up to me but I’m overwhelmingly grateful.
