Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, the grain that nurtures.  It is not coincidence that we say bread is the staff of life.  

~Lionel Poilane~

Weather Forecasting

 

 The trouble with weather forecasting

 is that it's right too often for us to ignore it

 and wrong too often for us to rely on it.

Spring Fever

It's spring fever.  

That is what the name of it is. 

 And when you've got it, you want - 

oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, 

but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! 

 ~Mark Twain~

Crayons

 

We could learn a lot from crayons;

some have weird names,

Cimb a Tree

Deciding whether or not to trust a person is 

like deciding whether or not to climb a tree, 

because you might get a wonderful

 view from the highest branch,

 or you might simply get covered in sap, 

and for this reason many people 

choose to spend their time 

alone and indoors, 

where it is harder to get a splinter. 

~Lemony Snicket~

To Take Care Of Themselves

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs.

~Dale Carnegie~

Possibilitarian

Become a possibilitarian 

No matter how dark things seem to be

circuitry

I see the world in very fluid, contradictory, 

emerging, interconnected terms, 

and with that kind of circuitry 

I just don't feel the need to say 

what is going to happen 

or will not happen.

 ~ Jerry Brown ~

Great Things

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.  

This is not done by jostling in the street.
