“Tell the people you love, ‘I love you’ often because life is short. But shout it at them in Klingon because life is also confusing and terrifying.” -unknown Trekkie
Further clarification:
As there is no verb in Klingon that directly translates the general English verb love, one must find a more specific translation. What nuance of meaning is desired?
I do the opposite of hating or detesting you: qamuSHa’
I intensely like you: qaparHa’qu’
I completely or perfectly care about you: qaSaHchu’
You are my loved one: bangwI’ SoH
I experience romantic/aggressive feelings toward you: SoHvaD parmaq vISIQ
You’re wonderful: bIDun
…The “correct” translation depends on the situation.

“When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.” –Tecumseh

“The Two Paths” is a collection of five lectures delivered in 1858 and 1859 by John Ruskin on art and architecture. This is how the author himself presents the book: “The following addresses, though spoken at different times, are intentionally connected in subject; their aim being to set one or two main principles of art in simple light before the general student, and to indicate their practical bearing on modern design. The law which it has been my effort chiefly to illustrate is the dependence of all noble design, in any kind, on the sculpture or painting of Organic Form.” The most famous of these, the fifth lecture, is commonly known simply as “The Work of Iron”

The theme for May is “fear” and, its opposite, “love.”

There are people in my life who are brave on a daily basis. These people remind me that I can be brave — that I always have been.
Under1000skies resumed daily posts today and will continue hopefully until I’m long gone. This is my golden bowl, and this work is vital.
The pain, every day upon waking; the knowledge that, after 402 days, my son Benjamin Archer is still missing; — these will not be undone by hiding, numbing, or distracting. After all, “Life is about using the whole box of crayons.” Even the storm colors.

Journey Notes
The theme for the month of January is “journey.” (I realize this quote isn’t strictly about a journey but if you turn your head sideways and squint a little, it works.) If you have a favorite quote or poem about “journey,” or the journey of life, please leave a comment!
May you find joy every day on your journey,
