“Somewhere in the world there is a defeat for everyone. Some are destroyed by defeat, and some made small and mean by victory. Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat and victory.”
John Steinbeck, The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights 

Lorii MeyersL “Always Being a Good Sport”

Photographer Unknown, (The Sportsmen)

“True sportsmanship is…
Knowing that you need your opponent because without him or her, there is no game.
Acknowledging that your opponent holds the same deep-rooted aspirations and expectations as you.
Knowing that, win or lose, you will walk off the course with pride.
Always taking the high road.
And always, always, always being a good sport.”

Lorii Myers, No Excuses, The Fit Mind-Fit Body Strategy Book

Heat of the Mid-Day Sun

Photographer Unknown, (Heat of the Mid-day Sun)

“Night poured over the desert. It came suddenly, in purple. In the clear air, the stars drilled down out of the sky, reminding any thoughtful watcher that it is in the deserts and high places that religions are generated. When men see nothing but bottomless infinity over their heads they have always had a driving and desperate urge to find someone to put in the way.”
Terry Pratchett , Jingo

Kiss at the Station

Photographer Unknown, (Kiss at the Station)

“Now he slept soundly through the nights, and often he dreamed of trains, and often of one particular train: He was on it; he could smell the coal smoke; a world went by. And then he was standing in that world as the sound of the train died away. A frail familiarity in these scenes hinted to him that they came from his childhood. Sometimes he woke to hear the sound of the Spokane International fading up the valley and realized he’d been hearing the locomotive as he dreamed.”

Denis Johnson, Train Dreams

The Kiss

One kiss is all it takes
Fallin’ in love with me
Possibilities
I look like all you need
Let me take the night, I love real easy
And I know that you’ll still wanna see me
On the Sunday morning, music real loud
Let me love you while the moon is still out
Something in you, lit up heaven in me
The feeling won’t let me sleep
‘Cause I’m lost in the way you move, the way you feel
One kiss is all it takes
Fallin’ in love with me
Possibilities
I look like all you need
