For my part, i rather distrust men or concerns that rise up with the speed of rockets. sudden rises are sometimes followed by equally sudden falls. i have most faith in the individual or enterprise that advances step by step. a mushroom can spring up in a day; an oak takes 50 years or more to reach maturity. mushrooms don't last; oaks do. the real cause for an enormous number of business failures is premature over-expansion, attempting to gallop before learning to creep. sudden successes often invite sudden reverses.

Another very interesting chapter is the education of children: the victims of problems of the family are the children. the children. even of problems that neither husband nor wife have a say in. for example, the needs of a job. when the dad doesn't have free time to speak to his children, when the mother doesn't have time to speak with her children.

The thing that started me painting originally was seeing bambi when i was about nine. i was incredibly disturbed by the forest fire that killed bambi's mother, and that distress gave me the impulse to create something, as a way of dealing with it.

Cleaning up after themselves was a low priority for margo and my mother. they had both recovered from cancer scares, failed marriages, and lost hope; in their opinion, dirt could wait.
