“Is there not
A tongue in every star that talks with man,
And wooes him to be wise? nor wooes in vain;
This dead of midnight is the noon of thought,
And wisdom mounts her zenith with the stars.”
happy father's day to all the other dad's who father their children with love. this is for all the father's out there who father others in their lifes no matter the connection.
happy bday French writer Jean-Paul Sartre, b.1905.
“Do you think that I count the days? There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.”
"Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”
“We are our choices.”
Yesterday, me and mine ten other siblings buried my father in Michigan on a cool beautiful day. his relationship with all of us was complicated, but one huge thing he gave us was the connection we all have as brothers and sisters. love to all the fathers on this day.
happy bday writer Josephine Johnson, b.1910, Kirkwood, MO.
“The earth was overwhelmed with beauty and indifferent to it, and I went with a heart ready to crack for its unbearable loveliness.”
