"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise."
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald
sometimes I don't care about a post until it gets locked, then I really want to read the snippy, snide remarks. Shame on me!

That he loved to, no. That I loved to, also no. He thinks I love it. For the most part I do, but I have A LOT of homework!

I NEED to get on a horse. That requires a car...damn.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
What really I am thinking about what sets us apart, divided, fragmented, segmented along racial and religious lines. And cannot we fly like birds freely in the sky against eternity unthinking we are political nationals.
Why this national boundary? Why this wall? Security? Are we secured inside walls and camps? Are not houses burgled against all our security measures?
Are we really insulated from all attacks and invasions?
Are not there wars, acts of violence and atrocity on the rise with more and more police forces and measures of defense mechanisms in the world?
Are states really protecting us?
There are outbreaks of war in so many nations, Israel and Palestine are always raising themselves against one another; there is still a great deal of insecurity in Afghanistan: Iraq and Iran have been battlefields all the time.
What has done our books of laws and legal systems to root out acts of violence from this world to make this world a safer and more secure place to live in?
I doubt anything better has been done with civilization.
Man is busied with manufacturing more and more destructive arsenals to wage a series of wars against one another.
The underlying idea is we want to reserve space for ourselves.
The world is big enough to hold us; but we are greedily extending our space.
Man is perhaps the unhappiest being on this planet despite the fact that he has colonized it
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
finally they've got rid of ricciardi - about time.

There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
good idea!
