so lately I've been thinking.....

errr...and thinking
.
...and thinking
.
...and more thinking
in my favorite corner of the house...
.
and suddenly I remembered what
this great man was thinking!
~here is his thought on CRISIS :

" Let's not pretend that things will change if we keep doing the same things. A crisis can be a real blessing to any person, to any nation. For all crises bring progress.

Creativity is born from anguish, just like the day is born form the dark night. It's in crisis that inventive is born, as well as discoveries, and big strategies. Who overcomes crisis, overcomes himself, without getting overcome. Who blames his failure to a crisis neglects his own talent, and is more respectful to problems than to solutions. Incompetence is the true crisis.

The greatest inconvenience of people and nations is the laziness with which they attempt to find the solutions to their problems. There's no challenge without a crisis. Without challenges, life becomes a routine, a slow agony. There’s no merit without crisis. It's in the crisis where we can show the very best in us. Without a crisis, any wind becomes a tender touch. To speak about a crisis is to promote it. Not to speak about it is to exalt conformism. Let us work hard instead.

Let us stop, once and for all, the menacing crisis that represents the tragedy of not being willing to overcome it. " ~Quote by Albert Einstein
.
was really inspired...so what else,
~created a self portrait!
hello everyone, welcome to my 'crisis'
a.k.a my darkness...
.
" quack-quack-quack..."
( translation : CRISIS is truly inevitable )
errrrr...so am I a genius now ??!

PS: I'm feeling better...at least I can start
laughing at myself and the world again!
I've realized that I can't do too much
thinking* ~gave me a major headache!~whahhh

  1. I've been thinking way too much lately too. I can't get my head on straight at all or come to a conclusion. That quote meant alot to me actually. Thank you for posting it. The same thing over & over does NOT equal change. If I'm going to do something it's gotta be different. Right, onward I go! Thanks!

    Feel better!

  18. Albert obviously had more to teach us than relativity... I just knew you would find a positive approach after the first shock, your blog is so positive and creative.

  19. I love the ikat kimono on the side of your panel there...

    The Chinese use the same symbol (wei ji) for 'chaos' as well as for opportunity... because it's often out of turmoil that opportunity arises...

  21. steve forbert wrote a song 'thinkin' that is perfect for these types of feelings. i couldn't find a link to the song as it's a bit old - 1980s, but you will relate if you can track it down, no pun intended. me too, i worry constantly. here are the lyrics

  22. So sweet of you Cindy!
    Shall certainly check out the link*
    Thank you everyone~

  23. I love your style of revealing your genius better than Albert's.

    Don't get me wrong, I love what you quoted from Einstein and see great truth and concepts that I need to pay great heed to, but I can relate more easily to your down to earth genius.

    Thanks for lighting up my life!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wow. That Albert Einstein. smart cookie. you too. me too. crisis averted.

    ReplyDelete
  25. this post could not come at a more perfect time...so true. I often get lost in thought in my favorite corners of my home:)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Sometimes, we need to just do something and the answers pop up. That seems to be a trend in my writing.
    Einstein was pretty brilliant, wasn't he.

    ReplyDelete
  27. i am fraking in love with that shadow duck puppet photo. theres something so hitchock-ian about it.

    ReplyDelete
  28. wellllllllllllll, not sure what to write here. thinking can be so great, and thinking can be a total fucking nightmare. gah! i wish we all had on/off switches to the brain -- sometimes it would be nice to shut the noise out completely and get a break already!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Glad you are doing better and love the quote. Lots of beautiful creativity will come out of the darkness... Hang in there.

  30. Yep enough with the thinking already Lenore.
    Wise words but we can't all be Einstein.
    You're obviously feeling better though, and that makes me happy x

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oh, I completely agree! I think WAYYY too much! xoxo

    ReplyDelete

  33. I just really like your photos. I really do.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Beautiful post....also glad to hear you're feeling better :-)

    ReplyDelete
  35. You are so absolutely correct in this thinking. I love a challenge, even when it is very difficult. I guess I truly love the idea that I can indeed get through the challenge no matter what. The other side is so rewarding.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm so thankful for the challenges I've had...or else we'd be so boring zzzzzzz!!! I'm glad you're feeling better doll, truly.

    ReplyDelete
  37. thinking is good. but too much hurts!! glad you're better...

  38. I love, love, love that passage. I always try (and fail miserably) to say something similar when people are going through change/upheaval. I'm glad to have this as a reference to pass along. I'm going to cut and paste that for eternity.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Sometimes too much thinking is too much thinking. But we get thru it!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Great quote, and oh-so-true. You are hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Darling, lovely, Lenore!! so glad you are feeling a bit better. Fabulous quote. Your creativity is always so amazing and you are such an inspiration.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm tellin' you honey the first steps are laughing at yourself, way to go girl. You'll be back in no time.
    hugs DJ
    hey easy on the thinking, you don't want that headache hanging around.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hmmm...food for thought dear Lenore - I love a good think every now and then but also love a bit of the mindless joy of existence too. Was it the buddhists who said obstacles and difficulties in life are really shining diamonds for the opportunities they bring - very much like what Mr E=mc squared is saying here perhaps?

    I don't think that is a duck by the way - it is most definitely a swan! Hope you're back on the air again soon - miss you Lenore!! XXOO's

    ReplyDelete
  44. Oh Lenore, thought you were nevermore. So lovely to have you back - more healthy, and clearly more enlightened than ever! Thank God for creativity, or creativity for God .. duh, think I'll leave the thinking to others.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Beautiful pictures and quotes!

    ReplyDelete
  46. You are cutest lil ducky I know!
    Trials in life can be so darn hard but they do shape us and make us stronger. I can't wait for more brighter days to come your way!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
