Painting is a blind man’s profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen. -Pablo Picasso | #codeofthestreets: #insight is a beautiful sight… “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.” -Helen Keller

Plan To The End or Perish

There are very few men – and they are the exceptions – who are able to think and feel beyond the present moment. -Carl von Clausewitz | #codeofthestreets: #foresight is the best sight… the entrance of success lies in the end; think – plan – foresee it to the end.

 

The ability to see around corners is developed in the discipline of calculating completely. On the road to success; shortcomings run parallel with shortsightedness, while forethought brings forth the power to endure the end-running of failure.

Pain is a Prerequisite

pain, penance, prerequisites

You desire to know the art of living, my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of the suffering. -Henri-Frederic Amiel | #codeofthestreets: #pain is a prerequisite – the trumpets of triumph are blown for those that alchemize adversity.

 

The Treasure Troves of Success are buried within the conscious endurance of one’s suffering; pain is the penance paid by those who prevail.

“I saw that his tongue was choked out.

 

I noticed that the right eye was lying on midway – his cheek.

 

I noticed that his nose had been broken like somebody took a meat chopper and chopped his nose in several places.

 

As I kept looking I saw a hole which I presumed was a bullet hole.

 

And I could look through that hole and see daylight on the other side.”

 

-Mamie Till | #BlackLivesMatter: August 1955 – August 2015

Musings: Courting the Muse

“For the poet to become acquainted with the muse he must appreciate the beauty in life, he must be seduced by compassion, and he must flirt with the sensations of life.” –@StevieStreets | Musings: Courting the Muse

 

Consciousness

I looked in temples, churches, and mosques – but I found the Divine within my heart. -Rumi | #codeofthestreets
