Wise words by ienemien
The Butterfly A man found a cocoon of a butterfly / One day a small opening appeared / He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours / It struggled to force its body through that little hole / Then it seemed to stop making any progress / It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could / And it could go no farther. So the man decided to help the butterfly / He took a pair of scissors and snipped off / The remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, BUT, / It had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings / He continued to watch the butterfly / He expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge / And the body would contract / Neither happened! / In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling / Around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. / It was never able to fly. The man acted with well-intentioned kindness / But he didn’t understand the consequences. / The restricting cocoon and the struggle required to get / Through the tiny opening, were nature’s way of forcing fluid / From the body of the butterfly once it achieved it’s freedom / From the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. / If nature allowed us to go through life without any / Obstacles, it would cripple us. / We would not be as strong as we could have been / And we could never fly / Have a great day, great life, and struggle a little. / Then fly! by the famous Greek writer/philosopher Nikos Kazantzakis. Photo made in the Butterfly Valley, Luttelgeest, Provence Flevoland, The Netherlands.

sub-PRIME CUT by Larry Butterworth
As loans default and foreclosures increase, the lenders have to pay out more and more to hide the losses. But the lenders can only make this up by making more loans, because this is how they increase their cash flow; and now it is clear they can make nore loans, and thereby increase their cash flow only by simultaneously increasing their losses, since their “loans” are proving to be losers. So no one wants their”paper” anymore because-well-it’s the financial equivalent of toxic waste. The “subprime” stuff is just the first surge: the tidal wave is close behind. Because all of it, the subprime, the prime, the AAA and everything in between, is the product of a previously hidden, but now obvious…Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme that is in the process of unraveling, as all Ponzi schemes eventually do. And what person wants to be the last idiot to buy into a Ponzi scheme? From: What the ‘Subprime’ Mess is Really About by John Regan Jr.

Sweet, Sweet Surrender by LoisBryan
“Lost and alone on some forgotten highway / Travelled by many remembered by few / Lookin’ for something that I can believe in / Lookin’ for something that I’d like to do with my life There’s nothin’ behind me and nothin’ that ties me / To somethin’ that might have been true yesterday / Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more / Than enough to just be there today And I don’t know what the future is holdin’ in store / I don’t know where I’m goin’, I’m not sure where i’ve been / There’s a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me / My life is worth the livin’, don’t need to see the end Sweet, sweet surrender / Live, live without care / Like a fish in the water / Like a bird in the air” John Denver Sweet Surrender Driving through the countryside Saturday, I deliberately took a wrong turn and passed by this beautiful farm. The words to John Denver’s song, one of my all-time favorites, filled my heart. Click on the link to listen … then come back and visit with me a bit!!! Image taken with the Nikon D40x, using the 18-200mm VR Nikkor lens and the cp filter on January 3, 2009. This shot was taken along 689, near Osterburg PA. I used PhotoMatix to create this HDR image.

Im Nobody, Who are you ?? by Isa Rodriguez
I have always, loved this poem ! :))))) / he he.. hope you “get it”.. kinda different for me Emily Dickinson (1830–86). . I ’M nobody! Who are you? / Are you nobody, too? / Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell! / They ’d banish us, you know. / / How dreary to be somebody! / How public, like a frog / To tell your name the livelong day / To an admiring bog!
