So close, yet so far...

But paradise is locked and bolted... We must make a journey around the world to see if a backdoor has perhaps been left open

Difference between Imperviousness and Strength

Bones: You know the difference between strength and imperviousness, right?
Booth: No, not if you're going to get all scientific on me.
Bones: (laughs) Well, uh … a substance that is impervious to damage doesn't need to be strong.
Booth: Hmm.
Bones: When you and I met, I was an impervious substance. Now I am a strong substance.
Booth: I think I know what you mean.
Bones: A time could come when … you aren't angry anymore and … I'm strong enough to risk losing the last of my imperviousness. Maybe then,,,,

Change, changes everything.

A special capture..for many reasons...

 A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts. We should be blessed if we lived in the present always, and took advantage of every accident that befell us, like the grass which confesses the influence of the slightest dew that falls on it; and did not spend our time in atoning for the neglect of past opportunities, which we call doing our duty. We loiter in winter while it is already spring.  - Henry David Thoreau

Some changes occur suddenly like a brilliant flash of lightning striking across a dark sky. These changes are stunning, exciting but can be quickly forgotten. Other changes happen slowly, gradually, like a flower blooming in early spring, each day unfurling its petals another fraction of an inch towards the warm, nurturing sun. These changes are as inevitable as nature running its course; they’re meant to be.”

Love who you love while you have them.That’s all you can do.Let them go when you must. If you know how to love, you’ll never run out ....

As we saw it....

I Know it's kind of blurry, but then it's perfect just the way it is .:)

• I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. 
• I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. 
• I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. 
• I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." 
• I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. 
• I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. 
• I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. 
• I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. 
• I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. 
• I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. 
• I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Just in time, just like that..

 

 

A lone bird in the sky.

An attempt at capturing the lone bird in the sky..

Every choice you make is the right move. It's a thought, think about it. Thinking that every move, must in the end be the right move, for in that moment of decision, it was the only move - the most promising option with a probable positive outcome. Perhaps that's what living a life with no regrets is all about. It may not be perfect, but it's always headed towards perfect. I think life is about challenging assumptions. Making assumptions. Re-charting territories.Putting up walls. Falling. Flying all in one breath. Like a sine wave with multiple crests and troughs that always moves forward towards an unknown fate.Life is what it is - An unknown journey to nothing and everything. Binary 0 and 1 all in a single line of thought, all in a day's work....

Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right. —  

J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)

 "I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.."

— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook) 

 

 "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."  — J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)                                                                               

Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"

— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows)

Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.

"After all this time?"

"Always," said Snape."
