Nothing but The Naked Truth (So Help me God) part II

Do not fear to repeat what has already been said. Men need the truth dinned into their ears many times and from all sides. The first rumor makes them prick up their ears, the second registers, and the third enters. – Rene Theophile Hyacinthe LaÎnnec

Nothing but The Naked Truth (So Help me God)

“One out of four people in this country is mentally unbalanced. Think of your three closes friends; if they seem OK, then you’re the one.” - Ann Landers quotes (American Advice columnist, 1918-2002)

Off-focus Focusing – Simplicity

Posing for a camera, for that special moment of that very special day in your favorite spot, you catch a glimpse of a millisecond of simple inner truth. It carries on forever, as a frozen piece of yourself floating through time.  Looking back at it, nostalgia takes over amplifying the feeling, the memory. Glorifying what it meant to be [...]

Sunday Bite – Silent Morning

As I woke up, I realized the world outside, shut the night before, was waiting for me once more like a hungry beast who feeds away at my inner peace. – Lucianus 2012

Feeling Blue – The Face Behind the Color

Love in Thoughts

Günther: Maybe it’s true that people are only truly happy once in their lives. Just once. And then they are punished for it. For the rest of their lives. The punishment is that they never forget that one moment.

Kill the Light

When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I’m sure it made the work seem that much more urgent. - George Carlin

Intimate Moments

On a Sunday morning, we decide to head for the beach. A secluded place far away from the ever so clouding crowds of endless people.

One of the best parts of growing older? You can flirt all you like since you’ve become harmless. - Liz Smith

The Pianist

Il est seul. Il ouvre le piano. Il s’approche une chaise. Pourquoi attendre-il d’être seul, parce que son beaucoup mieux quand vous mette deux doigts sur deux touches à la fois, nue …. P.S. If you know a better translation, leave it as e remark, thanks

The Evil Inside

There is something unnaturally natural in being evil, it lurks in the shadows of one’s psyche like a serpent patiently buying time to strike, and when it does, the prey has no means of survival, for evil has one purpose and one purpose only, devouring everything in its path. – Lucianus 2012

Sunday Bite – Blue is my Color

As Sunday rolls, a week gone by, nothing particular to report from this corner of the world. As IT revolves, and seasons change, I stand tall, alone in the midst of a crowded street. Looking not lost, but in pain, for the truth I see, is mine only to understand. – Lucianus 2012

The New Messiah

Rocky Love

“I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken, and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken pieces as long as I [...]

“Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives.” – Marilyn Ferguson
