Word of the Week

I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

temerity

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun

the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”

“Eyes exuding sincerity,

understanding, temerity,

is why I love you.”

Be the Stream

See the stream as she gently winds her way along?

How she is not concerned with what might appear to be “obstacles” in her way?

She does not become bogged down.  Her progress is not hampered.  She does not stop to build up force, for force creates a counter force—friction.  Too much time and energy would be wasted.  Her focus may be lost, and she may never make it to her final destination.

She simply builds her resources flowing around, over or under, gathering strength as she goes.

She understands these “obstacles” are necessary for her to gather strength.

These “obstacles’ are not “obstacles” at all, but guides indicating the direction she must flow toward her worthy ideal—the ocean.

As she gathers strength, becoming the river, her path becomes straighter.  Less is able to withstand her power, however she understands she is still bound by the laws of Nature, allowing it to be her guide.

Lakes are a time of calming, reflection and cleansing, as she journeys persistently toward her final destination.

  1. Wow. This one actually brought tears to my eyes. So inspiring, Marshall. You should write a book, or perhaps compose one with several of your posts from this blog. I’d buy a copy :)
