Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.–Bruce Lee

It’s easy to spot the pretenders–the ones who are imitating others instead of expressing their true selves.  It takes courage to stand out and be different.  It’s not simply a matter of putting on a bright shade of lipstick, wearing edgy clothes, or dying your hair neon pink.  It has more to do with authenticity.  Expressing your unique thoughts and unique identity.

For me, an artist that epitomizes self expression is David Bowie.  We were lucky to get tickets to a recent exhibit about the artist and his work at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.   The show, called ”Bowie Is” reveals the range of the artist’s work in music, theater, film, costume design, and even hairstyles.

# 62 Farkost – Boat (60/365)

/ Leya / 17 kommentarer

Från en resa till Peru och Titicacasjön 1987. Uroindianernas vassbåtar är fantastiskt välbyggda – alla som känner till Thor Heyerdal och Ra och Ra II, vet hur mycket de tål.

Här får lammskinnet vara vågorna.

From a trip to Peru and Lake Titicaca in 1987. Reed boats are still used among the Uru indians and the famous Thor Heyerdahl proved to the world how much they can take, sailing Ra and Ra II.

My lamb skin rug will be the heavy waves here…

# 181 Länge sedan – A long time ago (58/365)

För längesedan var de här två författarna riktigt stora, och åtminstone den ene finns med i våra historieböcker. Dessa två verk har sett bättre dagar, men är fortfarande mycket intressanta.

A long time ago these authors and adventurers were very famous. The two books on my table have seen better days, but they are still very interesting.

#164 Lapp på lapp – Notes on notes (57/365)

Mina barn har fortfarande med sig urklipp hem (från Metro) och byter ut lapparna med kylskåpslitteratur med jämna mellanrum.

My children still bring home literature for the fridge and change the notes every month.

# 291 Stenhård – Hard as Stone (54/365)

/ Leya / 5 kommentarer

I Vedema ligger enstaka klippblock utslängda mellan träden. De är både stora och vackra – och stenhårda mot den mjuka mossan.

In Vedema there are huge rocks and boulders thrown out among the trees. Surely left from the latest ice age, they stand hard as stone against the soft mossy ground.

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: This Land is My Land

As I was walking that ribbon of highway, 
I saw above me that endless skyway: 
I saw below me that golden valley: 
This land was made for you and me.
 I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps, 
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; 
And all around me a voice was sounding: 
This land was made for you and me.

Of course Cee’s challenge must be applied on my own country and land – Sweden.

 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Express Yourself

/ Leya / 40 kommentarer

I don’t know if this is a proper example of how I express myself…but we had great fun – and that surely is a way of expressing oneself.

The three of us had been a whole day exploring British Museum, and on our way out, my son caught sight of this bench with sleeping people. Irresistable! So we sat down beside them and tried to look exactly as tired as the other ”benchers”. My daughter took the picture. Nobody noticed…they kept sleeping as we left.
