Peace is like sunlight:
I yearn toward it.
I can’t hold it in my hand.
I want it most
when I don’t have it.

Notes: My laptop is dying, so I may need a few days off. I’m deleting files now, and it’s not pretty! *heaving sigh*
This post is dedicated to Beth, a teacher to us all, an artist of simple, deep truths.
“An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.” Charles Bukowski
This is also dedicated to Brussels, Belgium, and all of us in the world who bear witness to these terrible crimes against innocent people. Let’s stop hate. Let’s stop killing.

Very true Brenda, we don’t think a lot about it until we ‘don’t have it. Kind of sad. 😦

On the other hand, our very yearning toward it proves we are essentially peaceful.

Thanks, Joey! Yes, alas, a big expense is in my future, and I don’t even need a fortune teller to tell me. 🙂

I had to delete a lot, and now I need to decide what to get next. But I’m limping along with the old one for another week or two. And I do mean OLD! LOL

AWE it’s hard to get rid of the OLD. But I’m sure the new will be fun too and quicker. I just got Alex a new laptop to help her with all her online stuff and it is wonderfully fast. I’m happy for that! 😀

I’m all for seeing an end to the hate and to killing Brenda. I think most of us are but a few have weapons and the wish to use them. They’re the arms manufacturers.
