Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece, Falling Water
If you want guarantees in life, then you don’t want life. You want rehearsals for a script that’s already been written. Life by its nature cannot have guarantees, or its whole purpose is thwarted. ~Conversations with God
Today I am grateful…
- that experience tells me that if I take the step in front of me I probably won’t trip today. If I do then I can just get right back up and take the next one.
- that today I do not have to play off someone’s pain or loss to gain self adulation
- that yesterday afternoon I and a friend totally escaped by seeing September Issue
- that Sesame Street celebrates 40 years. It was not a part of my childhood, but it has delighted million of children and taught some seeking the freedoms we have to learn a new language
- that often I feel intense gratitude, like a friend standing at my back with its arms around my chest
What is not love is fear. Anger is one of fear's most potent faces.
And it does exactly what fear wants it to do. It keeps us from
receiving love at exactly the moment when we need it most.
~Marianne Williamson

So glad to know you Scott W;)
I just read "Loving Frank" about the affair of Wright & Mamah Borthwick. I love biographies (in case you couldn't tell).
I have always loved that house and all of FLW's design works.
I am not familiar with September Issue (but I just followed your link). I would enjoy it I'm sure 'cause I loved The Devil Wears Prada and also the 60 Minutes interview with Ms Wintour.
That Falling Water is incredible. I can only imagine going to sleep listening to that waterfall in the background. Ocean waves do that to me also.
Self adulation=self centeredness=fear
Iloves me some "conversations with God"
If you ever decide to visit Falling Water, lmk. I don't live terribly far and we could do lunch!
Also, Marianne Williamson knows some good stuff.
I so needed to read both of those quotes today. I should of been wearing a hazard sign this past month with everything that's been going wrong lately. Those quotes give me a dose of reality I needed. Thanks hon! Indigo
i love both of your quotes today- and Falling Water is truly marvelous
I visited falling water when I was a child. When I saw the first few dots of the photo on your blog, I knew exactly what it was. It is amazing.
Life DOES throw some curve balls...
i love frank lloyd wright's work SO MUCH, this is beautiful.
thanks for introducing september issue to me, i looked her up and she's one of those ladies that i can admire for her discipline. there aren't many like this anymore (or so it seems).
