Thanks Markus. Nothing would happen because as far as I can tell its either a brake or the reverse gear lever.

I really like the quotes you share here. Interesting that the photo comes first. For me, the quote comes first and I find a pic to suit it, or at least I try to.

Thanks Amanda. I’m retired so I’m out every day shooting whatever catches my eye. I think maybe a quote gives the photo more meaning than just a photo of horses or whatever. They also reflect my mood at the time.

Indeed. Quotes are reflective of the thoughts in one’s head. A quote can ‘find you’ metaphorically speaking. And be just what you need to hear at that time.

Are you suggesting that the mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven? Because at the funny farm that was a popular topic.

I think it is a christian construct which has been interpreted to be a ‘place,’ but its more a state of your mindset. I know of a few priests that do not believe it actually exists. What did they conclude at the ‘farm?’

Except for the guy who tried to beat himself to death, we all concluded that life is but a dream.

Either that or he didn’t like the food. As to a personal hell its all an illusion, including our concept of the self. As one teacher said: No Self-No Problem.

I can imagine throwing a tanty over hospital type food! Agree. Hell is just a concept. What did the teacher mean?

You’re welcome. The print is small, for me anyway so if you press control and the + sign you can make it larger.
