  • When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time. Saint Francis de Sales

  • Er, …you gotta bring steel to a red hot lividness and pound the sh-t out of it to bend it! Sorry — I’m in a bratty mood!

  • kind of like erosion…

  • Heat it, pound it and it takes on the shape we want.   But after it cools, it stays, no matter how hard we hammer away at it.     There must be a lesson here, but somehow I just can’t see it.

    As for your “sultry” look in the profile pic.    You know I was just pickin’, as moms are want to do.    You do look pretty exotic….

  • that’s my problem…  too rough and impatient…

  • Oh, amom, I see the lesson! Too lonng to explain here. But I see it! And more! GREAT INSIGHT! — Lise

  • My cranio/sacral bodyworker JUST, not five minutes ago, told me to breathe in softly, gently … and your quote reminded me of what she said.  Thanks.

  • And what if they don’t bend? They break?

  • Sorry that’s the mood I’m in.

  • quiet lately…

  • I knew you were bent.

  • I love the symbolism and the color contrasts in your image. Do know what I see? The Chinese character for “human.”

  • If only I could be that patient..but Saint Francis de Sales hasn’t met my family.
    Oh, I wanna see your paintings! Please Please Please!

  • Your Pics are pure beauty.Shine on.-Peace

  • You are a great photographer! I love all your pictures! beautiful ….

  • This is quite strange. Every single pic, starting with the bottom one on the screen, goes very well with the one in the post above it, but does not go with the one two above.  A strange rhythm.  The girl in the centre is pivotal. 

  • INTERESTING!  @-}-}–

  • Nice quote!

  • What a wonderful pic and quote combination!  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all learn to do this?

  • fantastic composition on this pic…..it’s really nice…..i love that intense warm colour!

  • Yes, gentleness is the key

  • What Soap Opera said is SO VERY TRUE!!! Uncanny! (She is one very perceptive cookie, that Soap… always.)

  • that is some really warm warm lighting…i really love it.

  • …*smiling* from your pic. Reminds me of the “hook” in life. In Burlesque they used to literally use a hook to pull poor performers off the stage.
    …like the quote very much, yes bend vs break. MuSe
