Jamie, me, Mollie

My roommate Mollie and friend Jamie came to visit for a week and I took them and my four younger siblings down to Salt Creek. We explored the tide pools, oohing over the little fish and hermit crabs, and aahing over the anemones, chitons, urchins (dead and alive), starfish, sea weed, and other strange tide pool creatures, and scampered over carpets of muscles and barnacles draped with slippery, shiny sea weed. Of the numerous times I've been there, this is the first time I've taken any worthwhile pictures. :)

The Foolishness of God - Luci Shaw

The Foolishness of God Perform impossibilities or perish. Thrust out now the unseasonal ripe figs among your leaves. Expect the mountain to be moved. Hate parents, friends, all materiality. Love every enemy. Forgive more than seventy- seven. Camel-like, squeeze by into the kingdom through the needle's eye. All fear quell. Hack off your hand, or else, unbloodied, go to hell. Thus the divine unreason. Despairing you may cry, with earthy logic - How? And I, your God, reply: Leap from your weedy shallows. Dive into moving water. Eye-less, learn to see truly. Find in my folly your true sanity. Then, Spirit-driven, run on my narrow way; sure as a child. Probe, hold my unhealed hand, and bloody, enter heaven. Luci Shaw

G.K. Chesterton; The Flying Inn

"The flood made of a million emeralds was ebbing as slowly as the sun was sinking; but the river of human nonsense flowed on forever." "I think modern people have somehow got they're minds all wrong about human life. They seem to expect what Nature has never promised; and then try to ruin all that Nature has really given." "And every truth a man has found out as a man of science is always subtly different from any truth he has found out as a man; because a man's family, friends, habits, and social type have always got well under way before he has thoroughly learnt the theory of anything." "It is wonderful how easily one outlives someone else's crucifixion." "...that timeless clock of all lunatics..." "The next best thing to really loving a fellow creature is really hating him: especially when he is a poorer man, separated from you otherwise by mere social stiffness. The desire to murder him is at least an ackn...
