The seals stupidly dive off rocks into swirling black water, barking mindlessly. the zookeepers feed them dead fish. a crowd gathers around the tank, mostly adults, a few accompanied by children. on the seals' tank a plaque warns: coins can kill——if swallowed, coins can lodge in an animal's stomach and cause ulcers, infections and death. do not throw coins in the pool. so what do i do? toss a handful of change into the tank when none of the zookeepers are watching. it's not the seals i hate——it's the audience's enjoyment of them that bothers me.

Darling, you asked me to write you a letter, so i am writing you a letter. i do not know why i am writing you this letter, or what this letter is supposed to be about, but i am writing it nonetheless, because i love you very much and trust that you have some good purpose for having me write this letter. i hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love. your father
Father Love You Writing
I have so fixed the habit in my own mind that i never raise a glass of water to my lips without a moment's asking of god's blessing. i never seal a letter without putting a word of prayer under the seal. i never take a letter from the post without a brief sending of my thoughts heavenward. i never change classes in the section room without a minute's petition on the cadets who go out and those who come in.

It is the facts that matter, not the proofs. physics can progress without the proofs, but we can't go on without the facts ... if the facts are right, then the proofs are a matter of playing around with the algebra correctly.

If the seal is pressed completely through the wax so that no wax remains without being impressed by the seal, then it becomes indistinguishably one with the seal. similarly the soul becomes completely united with god.
Soul United Remains
You must get into the habit of looking intensely at words, and assuring yourself of their meaning, syllable by syllable-nay, letter by letter... you might read all the books in the british museum (if you could live long enough) and remain an utterly "illiterate," undeducated person; but if you read ten pages of a good book, letter by letter, - that is to say, with real accuracy- you are for evermore in some measure an educated person.

The future is like smoke from a burning forest, waiting for the wind of specific events and personal courage to blow the sparks and embers of reality this way or that.

So i think we should stay focused on the real problem in the middle east. it's not israel. it's these dictatorships that are developing nuclear weapons with the specific goal of wiping israel away.
Real Thinking Israel
Unfortunately, the real focus in this country has not been on the rest of the world. it's been on our own issues and our own problems. fair enough. but it means that our simple hopes that everything will just work out abroad aren't really coming to pass.
