I have learned that some of the nicest people you'll ever meet are those who have suffered a traumatic event or loss. I admire them for their strength, but most especially for their life gratitude - a gift often taken for granted by the average person in society.
The true story is that black people need to tell their history. Very few films are made by black people about slavery. That itself is a crime because slavery is a very important historical event that has held our people hostage. Forget white people's role in it. In the end what's important is black people remain and live with the scars and psychological issues.
I love that "furious and gorgeous barrage. " That helps me see the relation between the introduction and the book's final section, where writing about a fire (and about the attempt to understand the event), also becomes an attempt to understand how writing might get closer to the fire, in so many ways.
There is no event so common place but that God is present within it, always hidden, always leaving you room to recognize Him or not to recognize Him.

The naturalists have been engaged in thinking about Nature. They have not attended to the fact that they were thinking.

It feels amazing - really, really great! It was so nice to be out there and be cherished by all the people. It has been a great event, the best you can experience as an athlete. We are very happy with how everything has worked out in the competition. Everything was very good and we're really happy we accomplished our goal.
Everybody comes up with this term lucky-"Oh, she's so lucky. " Even though I was lucky, I had a lot of struggle before that. I said I was going to give up everything at age 25 and get into event management because nothing was going for me. I used to have a lot of nervous breakdowns.
The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event.
You never realize what the aftereffect of your activities, however in the event that you don't do anything, obviously there will be no outcome.
All things come alike to all; there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not.
Dont try to run your life through a single straw. Someone, some event, will cut it off.
My mom has this great skiing event in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, every year for a local charity.
That is the challenge Companion. To take what has happened to you and learn from it. Nothing is quite so destructive as pity, especially self-pity. No event in life is so terrible that one cannot rise above it.
One does every day and without a second thought, what at another time would be the event of a year, perhaps of a life.
To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.
We try to do different types of projects and last time was a fun event.
