People can Change…

Yesterday, my brother kept on repeating the phrase “People don’t change”. At first I took this as people can’t change. Now I realize what he was saying. People don’t change is much different than can’t.  I know so many people who are stuck in a pattern of behavior. As if by saying, well that way of behaving won’t work in this situation, they’re saying I’m wrong and I’m horrible.  Have we become so egotistical as a whole that we are unable to just admit, oops?  Perfection has become the goal and its just not right.  I love the flaws that make me unique, every scar every little bit tells a story of my life.  I don’t want to be perfect, I don’t want to be like anyone else. I spent the better part of the last ten years thinking that if I just changed who I was for others that they’d like me and I’d be happy. I actually ended up destroying my individuality so much that I ended up hating myself and those around me. Its scary to be yourself, there’s so much more at stake when you do. I’ve found that, that one moment out of a hundred that I’m just crazy ol me and it helps someone or makes a difference is worth the 99 that it doesn’t.  It empowers me and strengthens me and in turn I have more impacting moments.  Finding your own bliss inspires others to find theirs.  Change the world, don’t allow it to change you.

Because then you can say, “Hell I could have done that too!” And that’s the obligation of the filmmaker, of the theater worker: to give a heightened sense of experience to the people who pay to come to see his work. - Nicholas Ray

the dust dances too: a spoken letter (words).

thedustdancestoo:

dear love,

what can i say?

sometimes spoken syllables slip away

from my tongue and get lost

somewhere in the wind and die,

my lips could try to mumble

pretty things, stumbling rings around the point

until it’s too late and the moment passes

but this new weight of importance…

zombiemergencyresponseoperations: The Last Lions (2011) Fifty years ago there were close to half-a-million lions in Africa. Today there are around 20,000. To make matters worse, lions, unlike elephants, which are far more numerous, have virtually no protection under government mandate or through international accords.  A story of a lioness and her cubs narrated by Jeremy Irons. WOW! touching and gripping at the same time. National Geographic delivers the goods once again. Wonder, pity, and awe are the general emotions poked at by this amazing story. A visual treat done by husband and wife team Dereck and Beverly Joubert. Those shots were great! how did they get so near those climactic scenes?!? And the “characters” - like out of the Lion King cartoon! A scarred buffalo, the silver eye lioness and her troupe. Spectacular storytelling skills. The violence of/in nature never fails to amaze. Fun to watch and an eye opener for those who do not know the current situation of the Earths animal population. Life… the tragedy and triumph.
