An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

To be humble is to be teachable. Meek, not weak. The most humble people are the most aggressive leaders. Aggressive because to be truly taught, is to sincerely do. To lead. To start. To achieve. Willingly and urgently doing the work to make change.

... What is the mind without the heart
What am I without my shadow
What is life without knowing that death comes ..

Needed to search myself to go back.. Had no signs of hope before lost in the darkness
Not knowing what my fate makes of me
And oh ignoring the fellowship accompanying me
There were swamps, slums, gottas, brunks, love songs,
Hidden pleasure, ignored passion, secret worship,
Quiet movement and undissolved self loving
Now I know God has brought me here for something

People will walk in and walk out of your life, but the one whose footstep made a long lasting impression are the one’s you should never allow to walk out.

Aspens typically grow in large clonal colonies, derived from a single seedling, and spread by means of root suckers; new stems in the colony may appear at up to 98–131 ft from the parent tree. Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. In some cases, this is for thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground.

The wilderness holds answers to questions man has not yet learned to ask. Peak of the Aspen Tress fall foliage here at Maroon Bells. One aspen tree is actually only a small part of a larger organism. A stand or group of aspen trees is considered a singular organism with the main life force underground in the extensive root system. Before a single aspen trunk appears above the surface, the root system may lie dormant for many years until the conditions are just right, including sufficient sunlight. In a single stand, each tree is a genetic replicate of the other, hence the name a “clone” of aspens used to describe a stand.

The Andalusian, also known as the Pure Spanish Horse or PRE, is a horse breed from the Iberian Peninsula, where its ancestors have lived for thousands of years. The Andalusian has been recognized as a distinct breed since the 15th century, and its conformation has changed very little over the centuries.

Don't let the expectations and opinions of other people affect your decisions. It's your life, not theirs. Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don't let the expectations and ideas of others limit who you are. If you let others tell you who you are, you are living their reality — not yours. There is more to life than pleasing people. There is much more to life than following others' prescribed path. There is so much more to life than what you experience right now. You need to decide who you are for yourself. Become a whole being.

Once there was a king who received a gift of two magnificent falcons from Arabia. They were saker falcons, the most beautiful birds he had ever seen. He gave the precious birds to his head falconer to be trained.

Months passed and one day the head falconer informed the king that though one of the falcons was flying majestically, soaring high in the sky, the other bird had not moved from its branch since the day it had arrived.

The king summoned healers and sorcerers from all the land to tend to the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly. He presented the task to the member of his court, but the next day, the king saw through the palace window that the bird had still not moved from its perch. Having tried everything else, the king thought to himself, "May be I need someone more familiar with the countryside to understand the nature of this problem." So he cried out to his court, "Go and get a farmer."

In the morning, the king was thrilled to see the falcon soaring high above the palace gardens. He said to his court, "Bring me the doer of this miracle."

The court quickly located the farmer, who came and stood before the king. The king asked him, "How did you make the falcon fly?"

With head bowed, the farmer said to the king, " It was very easy, your highness. I simply cut the branch of the tree where the bird was sitting."

Moral :-
We are all made to fly - to realize our incredible potential as human beings. But instead of doing that, we sit on our branches, clinging to the things that are familiar to us. The possibilities are endless, but for most of us, they remain undiscovered. We conform to the familiar, the comfortable, the mundane. So for the most part, our lives are mediocre instead of exciting, thrilling and fulfilling. So let us learn to destroy the branch of fear we cling to and free ourselves to the glory of flight

Two species of African Grey Parrots, obviously native to Africa, are commonly found in captivity: the Congo with a bright red tail and the
Timneh with duller coloration. Most free-ranging species are considered threatened or endangered and efforts to protect these birds have resulted in
a ban on importation for pet purposes in the United States. High quality companion birds are available from breeders. Research has shown that
African Greys are capable of actual reasoning and verbal communication (beyond just mimicking). Some researchers even believe African Greys have
show intelligence levels equal to a 13-year-old human. There is some speculation that males imprinted on humans may have difficulty in relating
to a female bird; exposure to parent birds during rearing may reduce this tendency. Once initiated, African Greys are prolific breeders and the
offspring are easy to hand-raise.

I am the hawk and there's blood in my feathers, but time is still turning they soon will be dry. And all those who see me and all who believe in me, share in the freedom I feel when I fly. When the world cancels you... Don’t forget to spread your wings ... You still can fly.. you just stopped trying!! Don’t forget how to fly !!

Harris's hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus), formerly known as the bay-winged hawk or dusky hawk, and known in Latin America as peuco, is a medium-large bird of prey that breeds from the southwestern United States south to Chile, central Argentina, and Brazil. Birds are sometimes reported at large in Western Europe, especially Britain, but it is a popular species in falconry and these records almost certainly all refer to escapes from captivity.

Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.

The saker falcon (Falco cherrug) is a large species of falcon. This species breeds from central Europe eastwards across the Palearctic to Manchuria. It is mainly migratory except in the southernmost parts of its range, wintering in Ethiopia, the Arabian peninsula, northern Pakistan and western China.

The greatest revolution in the history of man, past, present and future, is the revolution
of those determined to be free!!

The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla). Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.

When an eagle appears, you are on notice to be courageous and stretch your limits. Do not accept the status quo, but rather reach higher and become more than you believe you are capable of. Look at things from a new, higher perspective. Be patient with the present; know that the future holds possibilities that you may not yet be able to see. You are about to take flight.

I'm just a man but I know that I'm damned
All the dead seem to know where I am
Till it began on the night of my birth
We'll be done in a turn of the earth
Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand
I was born of the sea and I don't want to leave

Every eye on the coast ever more
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

Under the waves and the earth of an age
Lie a thousand old northerners graves
Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright
They come rising up into the night...

An Oak tree is a daily reminder that great things often have small beginnings. We know who we are but not what we might be ! Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish. If you believe in yourself anything is possible. The Oak tree is one of the most loved trees in the world, and with good reason. It’s a symbol of strength, morale, resistance and knowledge. Throughout history, the Oak has been represented in different mythologies and sometimes linked to powerful gods (in Greek mythology it was a symbol of Zeus, the God of Thunder.) The oak is considered a cosmic storehouse of wisdom embodied in its towering strength. It grows slowly, but surely at its own rate. Oaks are often associated with honor, nobility, and wisdom as well thanks to its size and longetivity. Oaks are known to easily surpass 400 years of age making it a powerful life affirming symbol. “The oak is a living legend representing all that is true, wholesome, stable, and noble.

The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home... we are but a blimp in time !! How’s your ego now?

An eight hundred year old Blade Cypress tree sits alone in the largest Cypress forest on earth. Light years away the Milkyway is lit above her like that from flames of an ancient raging fire 🔥 !!

Once night falls here on Caddo Lake , the tranquil surroundings sounds immediately take over. Your blood will turn cold watching the trees' wispy silhouettes swaying to and fro on the water and your imagination will play the worst of tricks on you ... was that an alligator 🐊 👀.. how do you photograph 25 secs exposures in the middle of a lake??!! 💫 👁 🌲 👁 💫

The Speed of light, speed at which light waves propagate through different materials. In particular, the value for the speed of light in a vacuum is now defined as exactly 299,792,458 metres per second.

Or in other words the light from these stars was created before this 800 year old Cypress tree sprouted it’s roots but I’m am seeing them though my lens now ...

Time alone oh Time will tell!

Follow your heart and consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.! Dream on my friends but follow your heart!
Hey are there any Light scientists around?

Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. The sandstone country of the American Southwest is home to many of the world's most awe inspiring canyons environments, cut away deep into the layers of soft stone by water and time. This is a landscape that offers far more than meets the eye. Here you see light reflecting into a slot canyon naturaly lighting up a this passage. It's an all inspiring moment when you see this happening and one of my favorite places to take my camera. Thank you to Quintana Tso for leading the way... Cheers and Blessings!

Cheers
