More than Just

“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.” Jamie Paolinetti


“The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.” Paul Strand

I am so much more than I could ever express to you.

I am multi dimensional, multi skilled, multi lingual, multi talented ...


Have you ever felt at a loss when trying to convey in a short sentence just exactly who you are?
I have so many likes and dislikes that contradict each other.
How can I possibly summarize who I am?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself. ~Ralph Ellison, "Battle Royal"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~e.e. cummings

Your pictures are beautiful. I found you via @AdrianaIris' blog. I'm forty-three-years old and just now figuring things out for "myself," rather than worrying, or relying on how others perceive me. It's been a long and weather-beaten journey. I'll look forward to your posts. : )

Love the pinkish-red of this structure and the flags make it special. Great capture!

It happens to me a lot, I can not summarize who I am in one sentence. I always end up narrating who I am. LOL!

Socrates' guiding rule was, "Know Thyself." These words are of eternal significance. I love watching your journey.
