PERCEPTION

"Everything we do not know anything about always looks big. The human creature is imaginative. If he sees a tail disappearing over a fence, he images the whole beast and usually the wrong beast.....Whenever we take a trip into the realms of fancy, we see a good many things that never were. "

Thomas Brackett Reed 1914

Motion

"Never Confuse Motion for Action"

Ernest Hemingway

Dichotomy

"Nothing Out of it's Place is Good and Nothing in it's Place is Bad" ~ Walt Whitman 1855

Emerging Face

"When you ask

one friend to dine,

Give him your best

wine! When you

ask two, The second

best will do!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

1896

"The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object, only the traits which

favor that theory." ~ Thomas Jefferson 1787

Kevin: It seems you've got the philosopher in you working overtime tonight. Perception is reality. It really doesn't matter what it is... it's what people think it is. Can you say the words "housing crisis?"

Karen, I can say that although it's much larger than that. Housing is just a tributary.

"Never confuse motion for action." That's my favorite. How many realtors and other professionals do that? I would rather be disorganized and successful than anal and waiting by the phone.

Susan there are too many instances observed every day. Thanks for the comment.

Chuck here's your private Ernestism - "Never delay kissing a petty girl or opening a bottle of whiskey."

Kevin - I like the photo you chose for Perception - it's a contemporary outlook. I also like the traditional black and white one where you can see an attractive young woman or an old hag.

Sharon, thanks, the other one you refer to I call the "Princess & Witch". I've got a few new words to share here also, keep an eye out, it'll post shortly.
