Quote of the day

“Go outside and get some fresh air or cuddle with a loved one and you don’t feel any better, only more upset at being unable to feel the joy that everyone else seems to feel,” Swartz wrote. “Everything gets colored by the sadness.”

I'm so old...

...I know who Hedy Lamarr was. (Hint on a post for tomorrow, too).

Quote of the day

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. ... As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." --Marianne Williamson

On nature

What a shame about nature.

We ignore it.  We run on.  We don't stop to see it.  Smell it.  Feel it.  Experience it.  To take it in, in all the ways we can.

We disconnect ourselves from nature and the natural at our own loss.  Our great loss.

Is it any wonder so many of us are lost?  Is it any wonder so many of us are disconnected from some possible Creator when we don't experience the Creation?

Quote of the day--on life and living

I just ran across this quote

"War is not nice."

-Barbara Bush


Boy, when it comes to intelligence, it seems the Bush family wasn't blessed with any real depth or complications. There's virtually everything that comes out of W's mouth and now this.

I wonder if Jeb is any brighter. He surely must be. There must be someone in the family who got hit by a lightning bolt of brilliance. Surely. Someone.

It just goes to show how far only money can take a group.

Wow. Thank God for the original Senator Prescott Bush, huh, or these people would all be scraping garbage at your local McDonald's.
