“The moment we label a person or situation, we put on blinders to all evidence that contradicts our diagnosis.” – Ori & Rom Brafman
I came across this quote from a friend’s blogand felt that I should pass it along with you! I did a little more research and found that it was from the Brafman’s book SWAY: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior. I think I may have to pick up a copy and see what else I get from it. If you have read it let me know what you think!
Over and out!
Lo!
This past week I have been on my break from school, so I have been taking in some great R&R. Anyway, so last night I watched In Her Shoes, which I’ve seen before, but it had been a while. I forgot how much I liked that movie! I stayed up watching it until early into the morning, but was actually paying attention to it, which is surprising being that it was about 2:30 in the morning before it was over! At the very end of the movie Maggie, Cameron Diaz, reads a poem by E. E. Cummings called, I Carry Your Heart with Me. I absolutely love this poem, and thought I would share it with you! So here you go!
Over and out!
Lo!
I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet) I want
no world (for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)
Gettin' the Down Lo!
