 "Blair Stuart" by Blair Stuart Photography Introduction: “I personally believe mavericks are people who write their own rulebook. They are the ones who act first and talk later. They are fiercely independent thinkers who know how to fight the lizard brain (to use Seth Godin’s term). I don’t believe many are born, rather they are products of an environment, or their experiences. They are usually the people that find the accepted norm does not meet their requirements and have the self-confidence, appetite, independence, degree of self reliance and sufficient desire to carve out their own niche in life. I believe a maverick thinker can take a new idea, champion it, and push it beyond the ability of a normal person to do so. I also believe the best mavericks can build a team, can motivate with their vision, their passion, and can pull together others to accomplish great things. A wise maverick knows that they need others to give full form to their views and can gather these necessary contributors around them. Mavericks, in my experience, fall into various categories – a/ the totally off-the-wall, uncontrollable genius who won’t listen to anyone; b/ the person who thinks that they have the ONLY solution to a challenge but prepared to consider others’ views on how to conquer the world &, finally, the person who thinks laterally to overcome problems considered to be irresolvable. I like in particular the third category. The upside is that mavericks, because of their different outlook on life, often sees opportunities and solutions that others cannot. But the downside is that often, because in life there is always some degree of luck in success (i.e. being in the right place at the right time), mavericks that fail are often ridiculed for their unorthodox approach. However when they succeed they are acclaimed for their inspiration. It is indeed a fine line they walk in life.” ― Ziad K. Abdelnour, Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics A Maverick As water flows into time; humanity propels an infinite truest. He’s not lost; just complicated, an enigma, between custom and thirst. The wind’s his mistress; transfixing existing depths hurled to a pause, In pursuit; of beauty with a lens, resolute however never resolved. He is a man that walks a path bequeathed in honor and dignity, A truth akin to surges from an ocean controlled by the anger in wind, Centered in his frame; carrying it bearing no disrepute, Yet there’s that wrinkle, a wanton speck in tenderness, moot. Alike a smoothed bolder splitting the natural flow in a stream, Or a lengthy journey commenced awaiting its symmetry. Not the complete man, a tersely fragment lodged in his soul, And at times between blinks it leaves him bare and cold. Shaking his head to mend the painful silliness that seems to append, And focus on the grace of life in the now, irrespective to the journey’s end. Distinctive yet rebellious, perceptions tend to send, For his allure’s an unorthodox merit of being a maverick among men. I wrote this poem several years ago based on my impression of Blair Stuart. I hit the nail on the head, so to speak.... :) I have changed the music up to Bruce Springsteen - Drive All Night which in my opinion fits this post and Blair's personality the best... Take a listen... remember people will show you how they feel. Need your loving Sugar... "A Basket of Roses" #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #VanMorrison "Up on Broadway" #MissU12/23/2019  Introduction: “I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.” ― C. JoyBell C. "Up On Broadway" by Van Morrison Up on Broadway Far away from trouble Up on broadway, baby Feel liek we're living in a bubble And the city lights Stretching out way down below Up on Broadway, baby It's where I wanna go Up on Broadway When the night is quiet and still Up on Broadway, baby High upon the hill Stretching out across the bay And the early morning light Up on Broadway Man, it's outta sight Down to North Beach In the parks of the West That's the place that I like to go Like to go the best Take a walk with me Just to see what we can see Up on Broadway, baby Sounds just like a symphony Up on Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway So far away, far away from trouble Up on Broadway, baby Feel like we're living in a bubble And the city lights are stretching Stretching way down in the city down below Up on Broadway, baby Got to get on with the show Up on Broadway, baby Got to get on with the show Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, baby Take a walk with me Take a walk with me In the eveining time In the eveining time's where we gotta be Up on Broadway, baby Up on Broadway, give me five Up on Broadway, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway It's so good to be alive Give me five Give me five Give me five It's so good to be alive Up on Broadway Give me five Give me five So good to be alive Up on Broadway, baby Up on Broadway, Broadway References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/vanmorrison/uponbroadway.html Where are you Sugar?... why are you hiding?

Poinsettias #Photography #DianaMarySharpton w/ #LadyAntebellum "Be Patient With My Love" #NeedU12/7/2019  Poinsettias by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.” ― Rumi "Be Patient With My Love" Mighta done it this time Mighta drank too much wine Mighta said somethin' that I just can't take back Always push till you cry And I just don't know why Tell me there's a way to turn around On this way to goodbye 'Cause I'm comin' back Back to my senses I'm comin' back Like holy redemption I'm comin' back to the man that I was So, please don't give up Be patient with my love No, I never fight fair But I'm tryin', I swear Old habits don't break I heard someone say (Heard someone say) Ooh, yeah, I could use some Jesus A little more prayer But if I could make it to the middle Could you meet me there? 'Cause I'm comin' back Back to my senses I'm comin' back Like holy redemption I'm comin' back to the man that I was So, please don't give up Oh, be patient with my love (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) Ooh yeah Be patient with my love (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) Ooh I'm comin' back Back to my senses I'm comin' back Like holy redemption I'm comin' back to the man that I was So, please don't give up Don't give up Just be patient with my love Ooh yeah 'Cause I'm comin' back to love (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) I'm comin' back to love Oh, I'm comin' back to who I was (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) So, just be patient with my love Oh-oh-oh (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) Be patient with my love (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) Oh, I'm comin' back to love (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) References: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ladyantebellum/bepatientwithmylove.html Kisses and Hugs My Darling...

Diana Mary Sharpton“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” Categories
