Here’s to Love

Ouxu » 28 April 2009 » In life, photos » 1 Comment

This is love

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails…”

Photo essay by Romain Blanquart. If I could put a soundtrack behind this, it would be The Point of It All by Anthony Hamilton.

Thanks marcia , pd and cm.

When I was around 17/18 yrs old, I was in my history class doing nothing as usual. Monday. I said to a classmate of mine: “I think I’m having too much fun. My days are always filled with fun stuff, like concerts, parties, theater shows, festivals and other events. That’s not good.”
He said: “I think there’s no such thing as having too much fun.”

Some words just stick with me for the rest of my life.

I need to be reminded again. I’m getting old.

a true business man

today i went to a turkish bakery to buy some bread. i was only carrying large bills and the baker didn’t have any change. he said: you can pay me next time. i was about to buy some more stuff for no reason but he just sent me away.

this is how you do business. give trust and people will come back.

i also lost my wallet today at a grocery store. i didn’t know until someone gave it back to me.

it’s one of those good days.
