Quote of the day #43 (movie)

 

"Oh, it was nobody's fault but my own.
I was looking up.  It was the nearest
thing to heaven.  You were there."

- TERRY McKAY/ Deborah Kerr

Not flesh of my flesh

I was reading a book for the community yesterday and found this. 

Loved this poem and the spirit of it. 

It is anonymous and is often given to children by their adoptive parents. 

It is called The Answer. 

Not flesh of my flesh, 
Not bone of my bone,
But you are the child
I will call my own.
Never forget for a minute - 
You grew not under my heart
But in it.

Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Don't forget for a single minute, 
You grew not under my heart 
But in it.

Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone.
But still undeniably my own.
Never forget, for even a minute,
You grew not under my heart,
But in it.

“I am no longer afraid of becoming lost,

because the journey back always reveals

something new and that is ultimately

good for the soul.”

Quote of the day #42

“I am not a quitter. I will fight until I drop. It is just a matter of having some faith in the fact that as long as you are able to draw breath in the universe, you have a chance.” 

— Cicely Tyson

situations that are worth the effort. Nothing more, nothing less.

Cy's Sunrise Lefts from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.

This sequence was taken from my recent trip to S. America. My girl's been studying abroad down there for a few months so I headed down for some lovin' and long lefts. I purposefully didn't bring any camera equipment except for a little HD Go Pro camera. The morning of what was supposedly the swell of the season, my girlfriend and I woke up before dawn and navigated the rocks to empty spinning lefts. For forty-five minutes we shared sunrise lefts. Eventually the pack paddled out and the camera fogged up, so I ditched the head rig and shared perfect waves with the locals all day. I'm surfboard ridden- 5'8" quad-fin fish handshaped by jake moss.

Apoiar.

Vamos apoiar os nossos não? Eles andãm a dar que falar!! :)

A semana passada no Paragliding International Open o Nuno e o Claudio ficaram em 2º e 1º lugar respectivamente, cool huh? Esta semana é The Paragliding World Cup e eles andam na Serra da Estrela a batalhar! Merecem o nosso apoio? Obviamente que sim! Pelo menos que se saiba que ficamos orgulhosos por eles levarem o nome português a voar tão alto.... literalmente! :) 

Parabéns pelos sucessos passados e boa sorte para os próximos!

Cute surfer :)

(1964)

"Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like californ-I-A
You'd see 'em wearin' their baggies
Huarachi sandals, too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U.S.A" 

I think it might be the time for me to buy myself a Channel Islands Flyer surfboard and get on with it, right Sunshine? :) 

Now I just need a lil dubbie :)

Thanks to the ever poetic Krzysztof for pointing out Takeshi Murata's work on FB.

Those were the times.

For all the good folk out there that knows what this moment is all about.. :)

‎"We were but stones, your light made us stars" || 2/8

This song, along with "given to fly", has a very special place in my heart.. do please enjoy.

Ed dedicates 'Light Years' to Diane Muus from Sony Music. (She died in 1997 at an age of 33 and knew the band very well.) 

"So that was about a friend who is fucking up and there is nothing you can do about it! And you just watch'em go down down down. And then, other times you have got friends that don't fuck up at all and are great people. And then you just lose them for some reason. They are off the planet and you never had a chance to say goodbye. I only mention this because there was a person we used to know here and that was Diane and ah, we never got a chance to say goodbye. This is goodbye! And if you've got good friends love 'em while they are here."
