Legacy

By Xlibris US

Someone Once Said: I will place a weak lamb before each of you and if you slay it or neglect it till its life force subsides I will know your true heart. If each of you keep this lamb safe and nurtured and well all men shall profit and all men shall be saved by the grace of this one being fulfilled in the multitudes of the lambs placed everywhere before all of mankind. Our legacy is added, multiplied and compounded by what we have done and what we do divided by the other factors surrounding the true how(s) and why(s) of all of our actions and inactions as they impact, alter, assist, educate, nurture, improve or damage our environment and others around us all others, not simply our own genetic offspring.

The Cheapness of Words

Someone Once Said: I will place a weak lamb before each of you and if you slay it or neglect it till its life force subsides I will know your true heart. If each of you keep this lamb safe and nurtured and well all men shall profit and all men shall be saved by the grace of this one being fulfilled in the multitudes of the lambs placed everywhere before all of mankind.

Whoever saves one life, saves the entire world.

By Itzhak Stern.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

By Nelson Mandela

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but noting consistently without courage.

By Maya Angelou

Courage is being scarred to death… and saddling up anyway.

By John Wayne

Courage is huge and failure to protect is the ultimate deal demolisher.

The police think that just because he didn’t kill you he didn’t somehow end your life…

The small truth is akin to an old-fashioned makeshift impromptu boogey board ride on a too thin stiff plastic sheet, like the ones we used to place beneath furnishings to protect the fine hard floors from scuffs. The makeshift impromptu boogey board ride is the one down a steep staircase beneath the darkness of midnight’s gracefully silent cover. It’s a spanker only the loaded, desperate or hardy would try more than once. Nonetheless, it’s just a spanker, not a killer and sometimes it can be exhilarating. The thrill is in the childish freshness of that kind of sneaking out for an act benign in the grand scheme of what feels like worldly plots a million miles or a zillion years away into a future one views as pristine, sparkling, lit up like the best fireworks in a nostalgic forth of July sky. The weather balmy, warm, with a gentle breeze scented with the aroma of healthy wet grass, the forest and perhaps a nearby pond filled with lively fishes. It’s innocent, enchanting, perhaps romantic and whimsical. All that ado over nothing or so it seems.

This is the material of the small truth. That material with which one openly and easily speaks of without much hesitation or without a hitch or seamlessly simply with no detectable hitch at all. The small truth doesn’t matter, it has died or faded or been altered beneath a looking glass or it has been proven for what it always was – of miniscule or no worth or there are immediate realities far more important, daunting, filled with weight and this
