Name' sake

*This is not a challenge,  but feel free if you wish

The grass feeds the gazelle

That feeds that lion

That feeds the soil

That feeds the grass

That feeds the gazelle 

. . . Yeah, I dont really know what to say about that 

"Here we are now, in containers"

When I was a kid I used to walk to the general store about a half mile from my home to buy ice cream. One day I found an old bronze tone photograph on a piece of metal. I didnt know what it was so shrugged and tossed it. Many years later, I learned that that was what's known as a "tin type" - very old and depending on who the couple was in the picture,  may have been worth money 😔

Pictures, right? They capture moments in time - precious memories frozen in a frame.

In todays world,  digital and forever. (Whether you want them to be or not, lol)

Anyway, Id like to thank you all, who participated in my challenge - truly a blessing to see into the snapshots of your souls,

Thank you 🙏😌

Post a picture that means a great deal to you, and explain why.

It can be of a person, place, or thing - it can be one you took, or a screenshot of someone else's.

It can be any image that means a great deal to you.

If you're not premium, put it in your profile. 

This is mine, of myself - because it seems ive been lonely my entire life and asking the sky why

*The theme of this song has nothing to do with the challenge but its called "picture", right? Plus ive always had a boner for Sheryl 😍

@Little one - "Six" 😏

"oh . . .and four peas"

idk if thats "iconic" or not but hey, it is to me 😏

Great challenge TKP 👍

With intro

To be a distiguishable whistle in the audience of a live concert recorded album 

I could say "right there! That was me! 😁

Tell us something you always wished to do.

Its not just the nectar I need, its the heat, the meat, the take!

The soft . . . oh god the soft!

The trial, denial, the taste of chase won

The scent, mind bent, its the feed, the greed,

Thighs that just . . . I must! I must!

The curves that round and hound like a heated playground.

So much built, Id bury to hilt, cast aside the guilt!

Id take for heavens sake, no longer holding back the flood gate!

Heaved breasts and clawed caress, Id force my seed, deep . . . 

Deep . . . 

All that glitters . . .

Im going mad

This blog idea was sorta Jacked from a youtube creator, or at least in part. (Aperture)

"Ikigai"

Ikigai is a Japanese term that blends two words: “iki” meaning “to live,” and “gai” meaning “reason,” which translates to “a reason to live.” It's a concept that encourages people to discover what truly matters to them and to live a life filled with purpose and joy.Dec 7, 2023

This is Marc Winns 2014 diagram of his interpretation 

This is mine, around 1995 (?)

I know this concept is certainly nothing new, but I came up with this "rope" theory for my book entirely on my own without any knowledge of existing similarities.

If you imagine a rope - A center cord with strands wrapped around it. At birth this is how we are but all the strands are "blank". 

We are often sent out into the world with strands that have been colored "wrongly" by others. Programs etched into our subconscious way of being and seeing. Often effectively losing sight of the core. Who we truly are. Sometimes the strands are even completely broken.

I had the idea, the two diagrams should/would go hand in hand. It makes sense to me, one would feed or corrupt the other.

*Im not a therapist, nor have I ever claimed to be. I just have a vast library of what doesnt work. And as ive stated here and there, a vast collection of "been there" experience. Also, many have told me I have helped them 🙏

This subject is waaaaay too big for a simple blog post, but im doing the best I can to explain the concept because one of my girls asked me to "show her" what I was talking about.

(I hope this helps sweatheart 😘)

*edit - it was 1990 when I made that diagram, the same year the movie with my book title came out - thus the book never got written.
