"The springs of human action are
inherently in the feelings,
not the intellect"
A Readers Digest article a number of years back said that before children could understand faith cognitively that they have to understand it with their feelings. "Why" one might ask do action and learning spring from
feelings? A child needs to be loved first before it can learn to love back. Feelings open up the intellect perhaps. One has to want to know before one can know.
"The substance of ambition is the shadow of a dream"
Maybe Shakespeare who said this of ambition in Hamlet knew something of cause and effect. He apparently knew that hope precedes faith. That the shadow of the dream reflected something more that the objects. The objects reflected their own history. Of course in this picture I suppose he was sort of nuts with his memories..................
If we hope to, and want to, and dream that we can, we will be able to have the faith that we will. Faith may indeed be the substance of things not seen.
Then what about these pictures. Actually you might find me reflected in the first. The first came after another like it, not shown, that had just two images. Then came this reflective picture of 4.
Maybe the King of Dennmark in Hamlet knew something when he said:
My words fly up, my thoughts remain below, words without thoughts never to Heaven go.
What the Kings words were missing was some honest feelings.

My picture was indeed inspired by the one of you and Mom. That was such a cool picture and I love the way it represents you as a couple in your current life.
Cool Hamlet photo also. I read something this summer that said that Hamlet is the most performed Shakespeare play and certainly the most well known. The image of him with the skull is something that invokes Hamlet in any part of the world. Interesting stuff.
