A SACRED JOURNEY

When you travel,

A new silence

Goes with you,

And if you listen,

You will hear

What your heart would

Love to say.

A journey can become a sacred thing.

Make sure, before you go,

To bless your going forth,

To free your heart of ballast

So that the compass of your soul

Might direct you towards

The territories of spirit

Where you will discover

More of your hidden life;

And the urgencies

That deserve to claim you.

~ John O'Donohue

MY ATOMS HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOUR ATOMS

Ian: I don't believe in luck. I do believe we've known each other since forever, though.

Sofi: Really ?

Ian: Yeah. You know how? When the big bang happened, all the atoms in the universe, they were all smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward. So my atoms and your atoms were certainly together then, and, who knows, probably smashed together several times in the last 13.7 billion years. So my atoms have known your atoms and they've always known your atoms. My atoms have always loved your atoms.

Employment and Activities poster for the Federal Art Project (November 1, 1936.)

"The Federal Art Project (1935–1943) was a New Deal program to fund the visual arts in the United States. Under national director Holger Cahill, it was one of five Federal Project Number One projects sponsored by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and the largest of the New Deal art projects. It was created not as a cultural activity, but as a relief measure to employ artists and artisans to create murals, easel paintings, sculpture, graphic art, posters, photography, theatre scenic design, and arts and crafts. The WPA Federal Art Project established more than 100 community art centers throughout the country, researched and documented American design, commissioned a significant body of public art without restriction to content or subject matter, and sustained some 10,000 artists and craft workers during the Great Depression."

can you share something about an oc that you haven’t given much attention recently? anything, a few facts, your favourite storylines, scenes, etc. maybe something you haven’t shared about them yet?

I think all of my Riverdale OCs account to this at this point, but mostly Dot Cahill. She was one of my OGs, but since I lost interest in Riverdale, my interest for those OCs faded also. But recently I've been a bit interested again.

Dot lived in Riverdale as a kid, then her parents got divorced and she and her mom moved to Kansas to live with her grandma and grandpa. She had a wild phase in freshman year of high school which resulted in the accidental death of her boyfriend at the time.

After that, and her mom's second divorce, they move back to Riverdale for another new start. Only Riverdale is crazier than anything that could have ever happened to her in Kansas.

Dot loves photography, cats, horror movies, and chocolate milkshakes at Pop's. She will also dye her hair, trying to relieve her bad girl glory days. That's also the storyline I look forward to rewriting someday. After Betty releases an article about her past, Dot has enough of trying to act like the goody two shoes girl she really isn't. She goes on this journey to try and find a balance between being a pushover and a bad girl, which is diffiult at first but eventually she gets there.

I don't actually know if there is anything I haven’t shared about her because it's been a while haha

#OTD in Irish History | 18 August:

In the liturgical calendar, today is the feast day of St Fiacre of Breuil. He was a Catholic priest, abbot, hermit, and gardener of the seventh century who was famous for his sanctity and skill in curing infirmities. He emigrated from his native Ireland to France, where he constructed for himself a hermitage together with a vegetable and herb garden, oratory, and hospice for travellers. He is the…

[innervoiceartblog]

There is nothing to fear in the act of beginning. More often than not it knows the journey ahead better than we ever could. Perhaps the art of harvesting the secret riches of our lives is best achieved when we place profound trust in the act of beginning. Risk might be our greatest ally. To live a truly creative life, we always need to cast a critical look at where we presently are, attempting always to discern where we have become stagnant and where new beginning might be ripening. There can be no growth if we do not remain open and vulnerable to what is new and different. I have never seen anyone take a risk for growth that was not rewarded a thousand times over.
