balance and order and rhythm and harmony

for we cannot make the best of what we are, if our hearts are always divided between what we are and what we are not. we cannot be happy if we expect to live all the time at the highest peak of intensity. happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony. let us, therefore, learn to pass from one imperfect activity to another without worrying too much about what we are missing.

even a minute, once it has passed,will never return / as we have used it up,so will it remain for eternity. if it wasbadly used, a miracle will not erase it.this truth helps us to take advantage of time, of every little moment. -m. kolbe

mark this as a place where one spark landed
it is because of alexandra that, i suppose, i actually have a blog.shortly after meeting her (we have, luckily enough, several mutualfriends- all of them utterly marvelous folk) i found her blog.shortly after finding her blog i taught an art class and thought itwould be fun to track our projects on blogger (that lasted about8 weeks; this one has lasted a bit longer). shortly after all of thati thought a blog about children's books would be a fine idea.&now, some years later, i often wander back to alexandra's work andfind, in it and always, the reason her vision lit the spark that led to-well, led to something else altogether (for me). it is with certaintythat i say that her clear and beautiful eye- and her ability to shareher gifts with the rest of the world- will continue to add light. andthat light grows always brighter, just as good & generous sparks do.

happy once, happy twice (happy chicken soup with rice)
these sell so quickly they
are often out of stock; so,
as a public service, it seemed
important to let you know
that they are- for the
moment- in store.
please note, dear chicken soup fans,one very cool grammy- & aunt: here(thanks for holding the book, barry)
