Lumberjack is back

I have a serious (and completely professional) crush on Bill Cunningham. I can't help myself. "On the Street" is the only thing I would pay to read/view in The New York Times.

Do Not Disturb

And to those who know that true listening is worship, silence is one of nature's most transformative sermons. I am filled with gratitude to have heard it. Max Ehrmann was right-on when he wrote: "Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence."

Dimock, Pennsylvania is a quiet town. Even more quiet when covered with a blanket of snow and temperatures in the single digits. I love my small city neighborhood, but sometimes miss having this kind of peaceful scene as part of my everyday life.

(Another bookmarklet post ... Hey, it works!)

Oh Abe ... If you could only see us now ...

The money powers prey upon the nation

"The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity.

"It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the Bankers in the rear.

"Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.. corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed."

-- Abraham Lincoln

I saw this quote on Frank's blog, and it seemed a perfect fit for this image. I took it at Union Square Park when I was in New York last month.

I also wanted to try out the "Share on Posterous" bookmarklet. Hopefully it works!
