More From C. S. Lewis

My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

God is universal," spluttered the priest. the imam nodded strong approval. "there is only one god."

"says the slave-driver of the cast system," huffed the imam. "hindus enslave people and worship dressed-up dolls." "they are golden calf lovers. they kneel before the cows," the priest chimed in.

Water conservation goes hand in hand with education. teaching people that if you literally run the water while you brush your teeth - we go through 602 million gallons a day of waste in the united states because people are used to hearing the water run while they brush their teeth.
Running Teaching Hands
A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful moneymaker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example. a manager may be tough and practical, squeezing out, while the going is good, the last ounce of profit and dividend, and may leave behind him an exhausted industry and a legacy of industrial hatred. a tough manager may never look outside his own factory walls or be conscious of his partnership in a wider world. i often wonder what strange cud such men sit chewing when their working days are over, and the accumulating riches of the mind have eluded them.

I believe strongly that most people in this country u.s. don't want a totalitarian state...and when conservatives say, "get the government out of my backyard," the reality is, you can't say that and put somebody in the white house who's gonna be in your business.

I have come to a still, but not a deep center, a point outside the glittering current; my eyes stare at the bottom of a river, at the irregular stones, iridescent sandgrains, my mind moves in more than one place, in a country half-land, half-water. i am renewed by death, thought of my death, the dry scent of a dying garden in september, the wind fanning the ash of a low fire. what i love is near at hand, always, in earth and air.
