Your words just prompted the memory of my Grandad saying, “It all depends on whose ox is getting the horns put to it.” Lacking any sense of “travel” his saying still made me begin to consider reciprocity.
Not so much. Though Lee’s is a powerful message. His seems a message on being aware and personally responsible. Kurt’s seemed to encourage being present and aware to help us see the facts of a situation and not just our own viewpoint.
It’s always worth noting that whatever comes from my point of view is just that. Well, probably not when I quote Shakespeare or Socrates or Rumi or W. C. Field’s…
As I listen to myself speaking out loud in more public places, I’m aware of how often I say “for me”.
I do this because as I have become aware that we all have unique experiences and interpretations, I do not want to be known as an authority on anything beyond my own life. And even sometimes that’s questionable. 🤭
This is in direct disagreement with an article I read long ago that advised against using qualifying statements like “for me”.
It’s The Beatles!! Proclaimed Ed Sullivan. A very cool piece of art today LoveLetterist! A Super Highway indeed! Your link with The Jackson Five video prompted me to think, “What might have been.” Sometimes the Super Highway chooses us. And then consumes us.
Henry David Thoreau advised that if we have more belongings than we can carry on our backs, we have too much stuff and advised we shed some of the load. Freakin’ trucks are so heavy! Without the truck “beyond” is more like “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” Perhaps a mini-Iditarod would add authenticity. Henny likely would need help. I’m thinking “not a Muse.” 🤔
The two writers you included today really provided ending punctuation for today’s post. All around “Yay.” 😊
I’ll never cease to be amazed by the wonder of creativity. Today’s image started with a few choppy black paint marks and an oversized, 3D carrot sticker. 🤷♀️
A note from LoveLetterist:
My dad often says, "Remember... The road runs both ways."
There is a lot in that phrase!
It doesn't only apply to physical travel?
Does it serve as a metaphor... for connectication?

Do you see a connection between your grandad’s idiom and Bruce Lee’s — Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one (life).
Not so much. Though Lee’s is a powerful message. His seems a message on being aware and personally responsible. Kurt’s seemed to encourage being present and aware to help us see the facts of a situation and not just our own viewpoint.
Thank you for the clarification!
I appreciate hearing your interpretations. :)

The Jackson Five song was a gratuitous find!
“Live your life by a compass not a clock.” 💚💚💚
And to access the compass, I found I had to slow down. I had (have) to look inside instead of out.
It’s really V. Cool to make the shift!
