Tbird's Window Sill: They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

If a picture can speak a thousand words, then what is to be said for a thousand words? I speak and I speak and I speak... and nothing is said to those who don't understand me. And of a picture--much is to be said--said--for the value of of its communicative value. It communicates to those who understand it. Music, dance, theatre...

all for the sake of communication. To share an idea, a concern, a feeling that cannot otherwise be expressed. Words do for me what a picture does for some. A picture does for me what words can do for some. Anything can reach anyone if they choose to seek meaning. Art is Meaning. And Meaning is Message.

NOTE: Hypocrite literally means behind the mask. Two masked figures representing hypocrisy, and the knives in reference to Caesar. "Back-stabber" for real, friends. I liked it. I don't know whose it is. If you find out, let me know, please.

Womanly Always

Style is an expression of personality. The way we present ourselves is as much an art as the work we produce. But if a woman can present herself gracefully but with strength, and eloquence of language, then I like to believe she remains above snobbery of word or deed; she places scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances; she is, in the best sense, democratic rather than 'exclusive', and lovable rather than 'popular'; she works earnestly, speaks kindly, acts sincerely, chooses thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand; she is womanly always; she is discouraged never; in a word, is loyal under any and all circumstances that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note.
