Today's Tendril...

To separate expectation from actuality is to live in the moment...is to be part of the ever present now.

Tendrils 8

You know it's quiet when you can hear the soft crackling of a bubble bath.

 

Beauty that does not inspire has either become commonplace or cruel.

 

10! - 9! - 8! - 7! ...

The seconds prior to midnight on New Year's Eve are no more or less precious than the seconds after midnight.

1 ··· 2 ··· 3 ··· 4 ...

 

To be a "giant among men" and a ghost or stranger to your family—to love—is failure.

 

Two paths in life, but never more.
      Zero tolerance for mistakes.
One path leads to salvation, the other to damnation.
      "Zero-to-hero" only takes a lifetime of choices...

 

Resolutions made on a whim break as easily as a glass (half full) shatters when it hits the floor.
