Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.

Looking back, I didn’t lose my way. I never knew where I was going in the first place.

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshiping.

I've created a Facebook page for my illustrations and photography. I'd be greatly appreciative if you could take the time to check it out, and maybe it give it a 'Like':

Lastly, I want to take the time to thank you all for the support in my creative endeavours, be it my photography (creative self-portraits especially), my artwork, my prose; there isn't any praise I don't acknowledge with a smile & a warm heart. Thank you.

Picture Blog

I've created a picture blog strictly for reblogging photos that aren't my own. This Tumblr will still remain my 'personal' Tumblr.

A Journey into a Black Hole, uploaded by tdarnell

There is no African, myself included, who does not appreciate the help of the wider world, but we do question whether aid is genuine or given in the spirit of affirming one’s cultural superiority. My mood is dampened every time I attend a benefit whose host runs through a litany of African disasters before presenting a (usually) wealthy, white person, who often proceeds to list the things he or she has done for the poor, starving Africans. Every time a well-meaning college student speaks of villagers dancing because they were so grateful for her help, I cringe. Every time a Hollywood director shoots a film about Africa that features a Western protagonist, I shake my head — because Africans, real people though we may be, are used as props in the West’s fantasy of itself. And not only do such depictions tend to ignore the West’s prominent role in creating many of the unfortunate situations on the continent, they also ignore the incredible work Africans have done and continue to do to fix those problems.

I think in many cases, your morality is lacking if all you want is a child born; not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth.

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.
