The Road Not Taken: TELFAIR HOOPERS

TELFAIR HOOPERS

It was a field trip day for the fourth grade boys and girls of Telfair Elementary. Electronics were restricted, courtesy of the teachers so the children had to resort to other forms of play at the park. I brought my Hipsmacker hoop with me hoping to get in some exercise. I didn't. The children on the other hand seemed throughly entertained with the hoop for hours and I managed to snap a few great shots of them at play in their very best.

To Live By These Rules...

"There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" -Robert Kennedy

"Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes." - Buddha

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson

As Jack Kerourac said, "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."
