If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

A spoon of salt in the lake
"Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes it undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed."

In picture... old religions
Zoroastrinism is one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, founded about 3500 years ago in ancient Iran (Persia). Did you know that the Parsi of India are descended from Persian Zoroastrians who fled to Gujarat in the 10th century to escape persecution after the Muslim conquests? Today, the Parsi are the largest surviving group of practising Zoroastrians.

Tracks in the Snow
A poem for anyone who's ever lost their way. By Sherry Sharp of Dream A Little Designs. Read the original blog entry for the story behind this uplifting poem. Thank you Sherry for letting me share your beautiful writing.

Tracks in the Snow
You followed the tracks in the snow
under branches bowing your head
out to the clearing laid low
ankle-deep and faithfully so
you followed the tracks in the snow.
Without warning
they died down ahead,
your heart, in your chest, sinking like lead.
A tumbling, inescapable game~ of domino.
Where are the tracks, you said!
Where are my tracks in the snow?
Disappearing tracks in the snow?
Wondering now where to go?
Stand still for a minute and see…
The day leads to only where it can be.
This is where destiny has led
To an empty, unspoiled snow bed
Close your eyes now…
Feel the falling fresh snow lick clean at your face.
Summon your innermost grace.
Stand resolute of the steps to be tread.
Newborn is the promise that lies up ahead.
For it is not the tracks you’ve misread,
but the footprints behind to retread,
not in what went right or wrong,
but to recall your sweet soul and integrity song.
Winter lasts only so long.
To me you’ll always be golden, a boy all aglow
a gifted one ~ still so much to show.
Trust who you are.
Know.
Because what brought you here will surely bestow
Brand new trails! Splendid trails!
I have faith, you will sow.

Go instead where there is no path
"Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley, 1875
