Michelle Bearden with Unbridled Isabel

What a comical beauty of a shot!

The star of the show, Thoroughbred Unbridled Isabel stabled at Hazel Park Raceway. Her co-owner and caretaker Michelle Bearden upstaged. Haaaaaaaah!

Seems her niece was attempting to take a picture of only the horse when Michelle slipped on in. Now I don’t know how old her niece Lori is (forgot to ask) but I think she has found her forte in life. Photographer! This picture needs to be in an ad somewhere.

Oh what a nag.

Thanks to Michelle for the use of the pic.

There is only three more weekends to enjoy the racing so get on out there and support Thoroughbred Racing. Fri. & Sat. post time 7:30PM.

Oh and Michelle, Isabel say’s stay out her next close up!

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one & Hayat ve ölüm, tıpkı nehir ile deniz gibi, birdir.! …by Khalil Gibran

YA BAKİ ENTEL BAKİ

Only love and death change all things.

Solo l’amore e la morte cambiano ogni cosa.

Yalnızca sevgi ve ölüm her şeyi değiştirebilir.

Doar iubirea și moartea schimbă tot.

Nur Liebe und Tod ändern die Dinge.

Somente o amor e a morte podem mudar tudo.

Khalil Gibran

semras.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand.
Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

Ein Freund, der weit weg ist, ist manchmal viel näher als einer, der zur Hand ist. Ist das nicht der Berg weit mehr Ehrfurcht und mehr deutlich sichtbar auf eine Verabschiedung durch das Tal als zu denen, die den Berg bewohnen?

Un amico lontano  è a volte più vicino di qualcuno a portata di mano. E’ vero o no che la montagna ispira più…

Emma Watson Calls On Men To Join Movement For Gender Equality – Look to the Stars

Emma Watson Calls On Men To Join Movement For Gender Equality – Look to the Stars.

“Men—I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation. Gender equality is your issue too. Because to date, I’ve seen my father’s role as a parent being valued less by society despite my needing his presence as a child as much as my mother’s.

“I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness unable to ask for help for fear it would make them look less “macho”—in fact in the UK suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20-49; eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease. I’ve seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted sense of what constitutes male success. Men don’t have the benefits of equality either.

“We don’t often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but I can see that that they are and that when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence. If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.

“Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong… It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideals. If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by what we are—we can all be freer and this is what HeForShe is about. It’s about freedom.”

Not far from there,

I see her running with joy.

I hear her laughing,

I read her writing,

I listen to her teaching,

I am inspired by her talent.

But it was when I moved away,

after I was separated from yesterday,

I remembered when she cried; she was hit,

before her voice rose up.

After, she smiled,

but her life was regarded

as a mistake, which no one

wanted to exist.

When she went out,

eyes stared

and lusted after her.

It is how it is there.

My heart hurts with stopped breath,

when I do not know if we

are the wrong gender,

Or if we are born

in a mistaken place.

We cannot choose

these things ourselves.

But it touches my tears

when it comes in my mind

and in front of my eye.
