Higher ground

So darn glad He let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth
I lived a whole world of sin
So glad I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on trying
'Til I reach the highest ground

Teachers keep on teaching
Preachers keep on preaching
World keep on turning
'Cause it won't be too long

It was not his own life that was important to him, but what he had shared with all life: "It is the story of all life that is holy and it is good to tell, and of us two-leggeds sharing in it with the four-leggeds and the wings of the air and all green things...."

And of the great vision that came to him when he was a child he said: "I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and father. And I saw that it was holy."

[From "Think Little" by Wendell Berry]

Ephemeralization

I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process — an integral function of the universe.

~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Sincerity & Sarcasm

One day I will have two labradors, black and yellow.

Their names will be Sincerity and Sarcasm.

Sarcasm (Sarc for short), despite being more visible, will be killed by a car at dusk. Sincerity will be lonely, at first.

Three laws

Ripped from a link in recent BLDGBLOG post, although I did encounter the third law cited in this year's Golf Digest equipment issue:

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.



2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.



3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
   
   

These laws asserted by Sir Arthur Clarke, noted author (2001: A Space Odyssey), inventor, and futurist.

The wall, part one

Dry-stacked stone retaining wall being built for garden bed alongside house, more to come - eventually. Happy Mothers Day.
