Bridge
“I would rather lie facedown on the ground
and use my body as a bridge,
than stand proud and tall
and use my body as a wall.”
Kamand Kojouri

Blur
“At the time it is all a confusion;
in retrospect it is
all a blur.”
Arthur Meier Schlesinger
Fire
“Fire that's closest kept
burns most of all.”
Shakespeare
They melt like mist, the solid lands
"There rolls the deep where grew the tree,
O earth, what changes hast thou seen!
There where the long street roars hath been
The stillness of the central sea.
The hills are shadows, and they flow
From form to form, and nothing stands;
They melt like mist, the solid lands,
Like clouds they shape themselves and go."
Tennyson
Courage
“Once you have explored a fear,
it becomes less
terrifying.
Part of courage comes from extending our knowledge.”
Duke Leto Atreides
Fear
“Let us never negotiate out of fear.
But
let us never fear to negotiate”
John F. Kennedy
Golden
“There is gold, and an abundance of jewels;
But the lips of knowledge are a more precious thing.”
Proverbs 20:15

Before and After
“When you come out of the storm, you won’t be
the same person
who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
Haruki Murakami

Rise
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.

Technically, these are all pictures from the southern point of the island, at Bass Harbor Head Light. But there were a ton of people, and I didn't venture out further to get many shots that included the headlight - I was happy enough with my rocks.
