Touch and Go by Rupert Holmes

A wonderful visual interpretation of Rupert Holmes’ meaningful song, Touch and Go circa 1976.

How Life Begins, 1965

An image by award-winning photojournalist  Lennart Nilsson that is included in 100  Photographs that Changed the World by Life magazine. At first the publishers couldn’t believe what they are seeing but after they were convinced, made it on the cover with a feature  spanning 16 pages. Lennart Nilsson, pioneered ground-breaking techniques on microphotography using thin endoscopes. 

Kidding aside

Life’s choices

Another beautiful forwarded-message…

 

“Life is about learning that you have

a choice.

You can choose to be hopeful rather than hopeless;

You can choose to act from faith rather than react from fear;

And you can choose to enjoy life rather than merely survive it.”

 

Life and Broken Moments

Life is about mending. It is about putting things together to make a whole. It is about bits and pieces of your reality  and then managing them, organizing them in order to make sense of your whole being. If you get the “whole picture” then you are on the right track towards a purposeful life. 

A nice door sign

Slinkies!

I got a good laugh at this analogy and hope brings out a smile on you too…

A Perfect Life

Life as we know it is not "perfect". There are ups and downs, twists and turns, dark days, good days. Well, imagine a life that is too “perfect”. A life with  no worries, no hang-ups, no problems. One would say that life is good. Everything is right where you want it to be. All day and all night is fun, fun, fun. There's no let up, no mood swings, no gloominess. It's the perfect world, the best life, the perfect life in fact. Or is it?

A fun life isn't perfect. It is a life of solitude. It is a life without a meaningful purpose. It’s an empty life, a life that has no goal. Now imagine life on the opposite side. Everything is dull, dark, gloom, wretched. Every minute of the day is worrisome. Problem abounds. Everyday existence is an agony. Life is unfair. Life sucks!

The two scenarios, are the two extreme sides of life. Both are not fantasies, they are realities. The "better" side of life is almost always the after-sought between the two for who doesn't want to get away with misery, problems and misfortunes. But then again there are those in this side who are also unhappy, regretful and discontented for whatever they have, fame, power, or money doesn't satisfy them. Hence, life will not always be perfect.

What then makes life better, more meaningful, more worthy or near perfect? There is only one reason for life and that is love for love is the reason for our existence.  Love builds families. Love binds friendships. Love creates relationships. Love gives purpose to life. And life full of love is close to perfection.
