Quotable Quote
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hi Laura...do you mean somewhere between 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread' and 'damn the torpedoes,full speed ahead'?
ReplyDeleteYeah...something like that Tom. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMore like what I used to tell the little kids when I was a teenager teaching swimming lessons. Just jump in the pool, it's ok, you won't get hurt, it's fun...
all that bit. Lately, I've been thinking I've reverted to being one of those little kids. Stuff looks fun, but I'm just standing on the edge looking down, too intimidated to give it a go. When did that happen??
Well,when you live in Alburquerque,everything is down isn't it...as in elavation?
ReplyDeleteYep, pretty much
ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note,did you mean something specific, or a general inability to push ourselves 'up' the road we know we long for?...I feel that way about photography
ReplyDeleteI liked that quote Laura.. usually experiments involve risk.. another word for faith :)
ReplyDeleteTom, what makes you feel that way about photography? what holds you back?
