Good Poems About Life #1
Rupert Brooke: The Life Beyond
He wakes, who never thought to wake again,
Who held the end was Death. He opens eyes
Slowly, to one long livid oozing plain
Closed down by the strange eyeless heavens. He lies;
And waits; and once in timeless sick surmise
Through the dead air heaves up an unknown hand,
Like a dry branch. No life is in that land,
Himself not lives, but is a thing that cries;
An unmeaning point upon the mud; a speck
Of moveless horror; an Immortal One
Cleansed of the world, Read more [...] Good Poems About Life

English about Life #1
Shakespeare Sonnet 65
SINCE brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o'ersways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
O how shall summer's honey breath hold out
Against the wreckful siege of battering days,
When rocks impregnable are not so stout
Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
O fearful meditation! where, alack!

One year ago, Florian Shulz received an email that would change his life. That email was from Nikon. They wanted him to be the first photographer to shoot the new Nikon D600 in the field. Surely even Nikon couldn’t have imagined that Shulz would produce the stunningly beautiful images of nature we see in the video below.
Shulz chose to test the Nikon D600 on the landscapes and wildlife of the mountains ofAlaska. Clearly it was a good choice because these beautiful images of nature are simply awe inspiring.
You can almost taste the crisp snow on your tongue watching this video. You can imagine feeling the fur of the huskies and the cold shrill air. There is simply so much to love about this work. Enjoy. And if you like it, why not share it.

What's not to love about this follow-up to Caine's Arcade? It has everything: creativity, hope, inspiration and a heck of a lot of positivity. It's a beautiful little film about the imagination of children, and a fantastic reminder that we all, no matter what age we may be, are blessed with the power of imagination.
"You have an imagination, so you use it," says Caine's Arcade 2
Have you used your imagination today? I'll confess, I haven't. But I'm going to go and build something out of cardboard right now just for fun and to see what I create. And that's the true beauty both of this video and of the original Caine's Arcade: it inspires us all to get in touch with our inner child.
Hopefully, by spreading this video we can also help to motivate positive change in education, moving towards a education that taps into creativity an imagination.
I hope you love the video and it fills your heart with the sugary sweetness I'm feeling right now.
