fueling hope: step 1

Is hope enough?
Éclipse
Une légende raconte que le soleil et la lune étaient amoureux. Mais cet amour était impossible parce que la lune apparaissait seulement quand le soleil disparaissait. Alors la Nature, ou Dieu selon les croyances, créa l’éclipse pour montrer qu’aucun amour n’est réellement impossible.
Il suffit parfois d’un coup de pouce au destin pour tout changer. Parfois, il en a besoin pour accomplir certaines tâches.
La vie est courte, transgresse les règles, pardonne rapidement, embrasse lentement, aime véritablement, ris sans contrôle et ne regrette jamais quelque chose qui t’a fait sourire.

Wooden Bridge, Concord, MA. / The Road Not Taken – Robert Frost
The Road Not Taken
BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
a path with a heart?
Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions….
Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn’t. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.

Did someone build the Moon? | Redux

Hope you’re all well!
I always been fascinated by the moon. If you perform just minor research of the moon, you’ll find many verified anomalies. For example – Only one side of the moon faces the Earth, throughout its rotation; The orbital distance of the moon from the Earth and Sun and its effects on eclipses; The Moon’s effects on Earth tides and the creation of life, just to name a few.
If you’re interested, there are many theories in books and posted on the Internet. I’ve listed a few that you could start with below. But be careful, there is alot of lunacy out there ! lol

Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State Park, Uxbridge, MA.
Hi All,
I hope you’re all well!
I visited the Park in the summer, on one very hot and hazy day. It’s about 30 miles west of Boston. As you can see, it’s an extremely beautiful place with a multitude of things to do. I can’t believe I waited this long to visit.
I shot these images with a Canon 6D mkII and a Canon 20mm f2.8 lens.
Let’s take a stroll through.
take care

this bird has flown…
A robin built her nest in my backyard this summer but I haven’t seen her since. Maybe this is only her vacation home. ;-)
I hope you’re all staying well, strong and most importantly, free ! lb
Working on the Highway
Hi All !
I hope you’re well!
It’s been in the 90s ( 95F / 35C) here in Boston recently and we had our street repaved; not exactly the highway. ;-)
God bless these people for the hard work they do in extreme conditions.
take care
