While Thalia’s focus spreads on a canvas, Urania picks up the yet-to-be-returned, library-lent poetry handbook. Like a kid sneaking a chocolate candy from a jar, she reads a line from a chapter about rhythm. “How important this choice of line length is! It’s effect upon the reader is simple, reliable, and inescapable.”
You, and only you, are ultimately responsible for who you become and how happy you are.
~Rachel Hollis
Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.
~Ludwig van Beethoven
A note from LoveLetterist:
The song link under today's image reminds me of my agency.
I can choose to listen to songs about rain
OR
I can walk toward the light.
There's a rhythm for both paths.
Good morning, LoveLetterist! Seeing your painting today stirred my thoughts. Did Cal and Henny hit the road? From her umbrella to her rain boots she’s well prepared. Henny? Waterproof as a mallard duck!
The title of Gary Allen’s song is a good fit to both of the quotes you ended with. Of the two observations, Ludwig van Beethoven’s seems illustrative of the path you’ve chosen for development, growth, of mind, body, and spirit. AmIright? 😊
