this is from: http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/programs/2006/01/02/#sunday
yes, it's early, but i started because it just spoke to me.
btw, you can listen to the writer's almanac, too. but this was just a reading that spoke to me in my head.
and if you think that's silly...well, you're reading the wrong blog. (;

Things by Fleur Adcock
There are worse things than having behaved foolishly in public.
there are worse things than these miniature betrayals,
committed or endured or suspected; there are worse things
than not being able to sleep for thinking about them.
It is 5 a.m. All the worse things come stalking in
and stand icily about the bed looking worse and worse and worse.

and i have to add this quote; same web page origin.
Umberto Eco (author of The Name of the Rose, a fantastic novel!) wrote, "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth."
cheers, folks (:

Crap! I'm reading the wrong blog again! NOOOOOOOOO!
where have you been?
That quote by Umberto Eco reminds me of something similar to that in the holy vedas: "Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature."
