Snowstorm - January 18/19, 2020

We got hit again with snow and wind; it's simply beautiful here whether the snow comes in a gale or softly sifts down to carpet the trees, buildings, land, and animals. Most flickers migrate south in the winter but one decided to stay here and I'm grateful.

Some random reflections.

I am a child of fortune and I shall not be shamed
I ask to be no other than I am
Oedipus - Sophocles


They who go feel not the pain of parting.
It's they who stay behind that suffer


Acceptance is a bad thing.


Nothing bold or magnificent is built from fear.


. . .  putting up walls. What people mistook for safety 
was in fact captivity. - Louise Penny


Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.


You don't try to teach a pig to sing. 
It doesn't work and it annoys the pig


Joy doesn't ever leave you know. 
It's always with you.
And one day you'll find it again. Louise Penny


We all want to be better people than we are. Silk


Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish - Euripides


Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.


Sometimes it's the very people who no one imagines anything of 
who do the things that no one can imagine. 
Christopher (Alan Turing)


When you come out of your mother's downstairs, 
you come out like a rocket fired into a brick wall three feet away. 
Make the most of those three feet. - Silk


T'is a consummation devoutly to be wished.
Hamlet - Shakespeare
