Life Is The Space In Between

"I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the
multitudes; nor would I be content with converting my tears, invited by
my agonized self, into calm. It is my fervent hope that my whole life on
this earth will ever be tears and laughter."

- Kahlil Gibran

Most of the time, it is. What a find, Duane, and you matched it with a wonderful quote. Hope you are doing well.

I love Gibran's writings.
regarding the picture- just remember that old driving rule: don't try to cut off a big truck from the right.

Super find, perfectly matched with the Prophet's words. Nice job, Duane. (ummm, do you sometimes pass on the right, sir?)

Nice one, Duane.
When Mark and I got married we worked in some of Gibran's words. Ten years ago in July (Eeep!)

Did you ever see the picture I "gave" you for your birthday? It's a few shots back from my recent ones...called "mirror" I think. Check out the notes.
Seemed appropriate because you are so willing to look at yourself, and I have found this decade of the forties to be reflective.

Happy belated birthday!

All that empty tarmac hinting at the mundanity of much of life with just a little interest at the top (heaven and hell so close together). Quite a zen photo me thinks.
