Day 186 | Of Not Giving Up "When things go wrong as they sometimes will; When the road you're trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low, and the debts are high And you want to smile, but have to sigh; When care is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but do not quit. Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint of the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things go wrong that you must not quit. - Unknown, "Don't Quit" #alexaphotoaday #july #themeofthemonth July 05, 2014 at 10:56PM

Day 181: "We were fascinated by the little glass spheres, by those dark waves of color, some narrow and drawn out into several swirls, and others that widened out in the center of the marble into a single bundle and thinned out smoothly at the ends. There were reddish streaks in the new marbles, but in the cloudy, chipped ones the bands of color also appeared, strangely and inexplicably." - José María Arguedas, Antología poética #alexaphotoaday #june #themeofthemonth July 01, 2014 at 12:08AM
