What does he think of rock lawns?

I am not a lover of lawns. Rather would I see daisies in their thousands, ground ivy, hawkweed, and even the hated plantain with tall stems, and dandelions with splendid flowers and fairy down, than the too-well-tended lawn. -William Henry Hudson, author and naturalist (1841-1922)

Lists

Bare lists of words are found suggestive to an imaginative and excited mind. -Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882)

embrace, feel it completely and then move on

We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey. -Kenji Miyazawa, poet and story writer (1896-1933)

Today I learned of the pain my students have in their tender lives. I think of the experiences they are having with the choices of their parents. The pains of divorce and drug abuse can be fuel for a journey hopefully for the better.

pages

I had to look at a few choices before one popped out at me as beautiful. This one is.

I love empty books that are blank and waiting. Waiting to preserve something of life, to enlarge the memory and offer a treasure.

The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible. -Vladimir Nabokov, (1899-1977)

More than school, yes!

Dearest Carly Sister,
I am as happy as a big jumbo box of crayons, melting in the sun of light and love. Time is like the ingredient in which this happiness gets to ride. I love.

"Did God have a mother?" Children, when told that God made the heavens and the earth, innocently ask whether God had a mother. This deceptively simple question has stumped the elders of the church and embarrassed the finest theologians, precipitating some of the thorniest theological debates over the centuries. All the great religions have elaborate mythologies surrounding the divine act of Creation, but none of them adequately confronts the logical paradoxes inherent in the question that even children ask. -Michio Kaku, physicist (b. 1947)   

Questions from children teach me.  This question teaches me of the concept of mothers and the process of existence. The answer is simple if you were to ask a child what they think, they would say yes, everyone has a mother, that is the way of creation.
