illustration friday: 26 - DISCOVERY
Array learning without liberty is always in vain.The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.We must use time as a tool, not as a crutch.Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.We need men who can dream of things that never were.The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word ‘crisis.’ One brush stroke stands for danger; In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity.Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.There are risks and costs to a program of action.

-ne Thirteen Sights From The Horse ShowHey y’allThis week I am attending the Lexington Junior League Horse Show. It’s one of the Triple Crown shows for American Saddlebred horses although there are classes for other types of horses and ponies as well. If you look closely at this picture you’ll see that the jumbotron and I caught this beautiful three gaited horse at the same time.I am SUCH a geek ;-)6. This is a very lovely five gaited horse I wanted to get a shot of his tail because it is so beautiful. This five gaited horse is racking—each foot hits the ground in a four-beat rythmn —while this lovely three gaited horse is cantering -a three beat gait.12.

Today, I put my hand on a block and that felt a bit better, so I may work that way for awhile and see how I progress.Ardha Baddha Padmottanasana: No more blocks, hallelujah! It felt lovely!Utthita Trikonasana: In Anusara, the bottom hand is placed on the floor to the outside of the front foot in this pose. Today, I put my hand on the floor.Bujangasana: I’m in a holding pattern in this pose. I came in deeper today than I ever have before.The Marichyasana Diaries: I can easily bind wrist in A, B (Mari B is becoming my very favourite pose in the whole world!), bind to fingers in C.

-ne Brought to you by the DNA, the National Dislexics Association.The idea is clearly beter than the image, probably because it’s my girlfriend’s idea, and because I spent the night riding the bike with my gang instead of thinking about Illo Friday, emptying my mind after a few days of chaos.a handfull of friends on fast motorcycles riding in squadron with the girl on the back in a warm summer day, the smell of grass and wood in the countryside, a late supper out on a table outside with a lot of cheap jokes, the ride home as the sun sets in panavision, what more would you need really.
