George Jones - Walk Through This World With Me.
(on the Porter Wagoner Show, 1967.)George Jones passed away today at 81 years of life well lived.
Rest in peace, George, & thank you for all of the incredible tunes… -
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Henry Miller (via kateoplis) -
Sometimes, very quietly and graciously, you can inspire other people by showing them that there’s a different way and many perceptions of beauty. You may not be feeling it inside, but if you display it like you mean it, then it can give permission to be kind to ourselves and embrace our individuality.

“There were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.”

(Invitation to Yin Yang by Steven Arnold.)
“Nowadays, in our vast cities of steel, we still haven’t lost our need for ancient ritual. Dances with masks and drum are alive in our bones. We are witchdoctors in designer jeans. Ancient sexual impulses rule our buying powers and claw at our self illusions. We get high on whatever, and tune in to our instinctual selves. We seek guides and desire teachings. As we accumulate, we share, and thus we grow – the more evolved our sharing, the richer our growth. Oh, beautiful evenings when we can truly share!” -Steven Arnold

A day, a livelong day, is not one thing but many. It changes not only in growing light toward zenith and decline again, but in texture and moods, in tone and meaning, warped by a thousand factors of season, of heat or cold, of still or multi winds, torqued by odors, tastes, and the fabrics of ice or grass, of bud or leaf or black-drawn naked limbs. And as a day changes so do its subjects, bugs and birds, cats, dogs, butterflies and people.
John Steinbeck (via theweightof)(via jakestangel)
