SaTalaia's Favorite Quote: If at any time I begin to lose hope for myself, let me simply look inside my heart and see all the good actions I have ever performed, from the smallest to the grandest. When I see how much happiness I have given, I will remember the purpose of my life.

1) I take my picture off and the profile dies. Now, if I were vain, I might be tempted to believe that I was more than just average. If one cannot see beyond a picture does it explain why many keep making the wrong choice ? 2) Make sure your heart is not like a horse chestnut on a string. Only of worth, when a king. 3) One only needs to close ones eyes to be able to see more. 4) Never deprive someone of their dreams. It may be all they have. 5) A partner, a soul mate, a lover, should be there to wipe away any tears. 6) Love is a two sided mirror. When looked through together, each see a reflection of the person that is on the other side. 7) What is better ? To catch the eye or appeal to the imagination. 8) Rain, upon a naked body, a luxury we can all afford. 9) Whether we are the Yolk or the White, we can still make a reunion, a delight. 10) Global warming equals mankind’s failure to monitor and address the increases in the world’s population since 1850; preferring to lay the blame elsewhere. 11) White light refracted in a prism reveals the colour components. God refracted through Mankind reveals the colour components also, through differing views. “Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be…” Desiderata. 12) Tiz always best me thinks, to not fear the unknown but investigate the possibilities. 13) For me the beauty of God is the not seeing, yet believing, without evidence; with ultimately an acceptance that God is everything. However, I do not believe that holding this view entitles me to believe others should hold this view also. 14) Lust is born out of something we desire. Love is born out of something we admire. Appreciate the difference when viewing another. Before… from true love and loves passion we must, retire. 15) Life, put simply is, to function, to grow. How one functions and how one grows depends in part on the environment into which one is placed. Fortunately, genes (and other stuff) ensure the development of individuality. This identity is unique and is for me an important part of life as ultimately it protects mankind. Many scientists etc. would have us believe that dabbling with genes (and stuff) will make us better in one way or another. Mankind’s vanity is no match for Mother Nature in my book. She has been around for longer and I respect her say in most, if not all, matters. 16) IF I COULD SHARE MY STRENGTHS: It would be with, Katie Piper. Should she ever require it. 17) For me the perfect shot is one that captures part of the subject’s soul. More often, than not, it is not a pose that catches the moment, it is a moment in time that allows a soul to shine.

MY PERFECT PARTNER. Why do so many declare 'Nobody is perfect' ? Surely it is about knowing who that person is, with or without their inperfections. . . . . FRIENDS. I never publish friends in the gallery that Snappville provide (or allow myself to be published). I see it as too close to 'Zoolike' for comfort. . . . . AGE: I do not publish my age but for openess it should be known that it is between 40-60. Age is but a number to me. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SITE OBSERVATIONS: 1) Invisible Button(s). Think who might be pushing an invisible button if they had one fitted to their physical selves. So I ask 'Does it make it any more acceptable that it is part of a community web site''? This profile will never hide in the shadows contained within sites such as these, for this is where the peeping toms live and no hidden agenda with me. Alas, for the time being at least, what I look like will be a mystery for most, as removed picture in 2008... 2) The young wishing to look old, the old wishing to look young. Perhaps, the mid life thing is born out of this... 3) If one is to appreciate a cultivated garden, one must be prepared to weed and remove the dead wood...

I cast a bottle into the sea and this was my reward. “Aho Mitakuye Oyasin'. My thanks to the person that retrieved the bottle and took time out to message me... such are the rewards for those that believe in the virtue of patience.

Next time you are in the company of a special friend, think about saying to yourself 'If I have no money to buy this friend a gift, what word could I give them instead. Gift of a word is about finding a single word that is so full of meaning that it would be cherished because it cost the sum of considered thoughts. It may sound easy but rest assured finding the word is not as easy as it first sounds. Find the right one however and it will be ' A memory, for two, worthy of recall for ever'.

1) You know the moment you are on The White Isle. It is when you exit the airports sliding doors and the warmth embraces your face like the cupped hands of a loved one. . . . . 2) If I were looking ! Then, 'In My Eyes' you would have to be 'A Shooting Star'. Sent from 'Heaven' to 'Cafe Del Mar'. Lonliness' would not be for you or me, for in an 'Oridinary World' we would both 'Choose Life' to see. . . . . 3) The lyrics of Sand in my Shoe by Dido whispher to me. Do they to you ?
