I try to be a person of power, but sometimes feel so helpless. I try to do what I can, but sometimes feel so over-powered about the world going on its reckless way without me. I was reminded of this by Dee's recent post on photos from the Narrows, here in Tennessee. You can go to those shots by clicking on my blog-links re The Eighth Dimension. It is just some (wonderful) shots of a moment along a river, but so much more to me. I have gone there many times feeling quite helpless. Looking for the bigness of nature to give me perspective. And it always did. It was a welcome humility that pulled me out of self-absorbed moments. I remember being an idealistic hippie, and Neil Young singing this song.

The Realm of the Necessary
I would think it goes without saying, but nevertheless, given how blogs go on and on, I suppose I should make it clear, that all text or photos are copyright by me upon posting. Dan's Myth, that is. Unless I state otherwise. Just doing my thing. My writings at times, may be dark, or sarcastic and acidic. I do try to throw some romance into the mix. But I wish no harm to anybody. That is the best I can come up with as far as disclaimers go. Don't steal suff.Thanks a lot.

Neil Young has expressed many of the things in my heart better than I ever could.
Dan, I just posted The Story Behind the Song “I’m Just An Old Chunk Of Coal, But I’m Gonna Be A Diamond Someday.” Years ago I heard Billy Joe Shaver tell this story on NPR. If you do not know the story you and your readers will love it.Dee
This video was, I think, excerpted from "The Last Waltz"....I think. Thanks, Dee. That was a great story.
I'm still idealistic hippie in my heart...and will be. Only way to survive in this world is hope.

Nah, all that there's left is not hope for me, I gave that up a long time ago.
But when I am out in nature, I know she'll survive when we are already long since gone.
