Because we don’t know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless…
I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps, then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even knowing it, live your way into the answer.
Response to Pro Animal Testing Sign in LA:
I saw the same billboard in LA last night. In response to Animal Testing: Dr. Charles Mayo.
“I abhor vivisection. It should at least be curbed. Better, it should be abolished. I know of no achievement through vivisection, no scientific discovery, that could not have been obtained without such barbarism and cruelty. The whole thing is evil.”
-Dr. Charles Mayo, founder of the Mayo Clinic (New York Daily News, Mar. 13, 1961)
I saw this billboard in Berkeley. I encourage you to visit the website and poke around. Perhaps even signup (it’s easy) and make a comment of your own.
The National - Slow Show
You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world’s sorrow comes from people who are this, yet allow themselves be treated as that.

“Honey and the Moon” - Joseph Arthur
One of my favorite opening lines to a song, “Don’t know why I’m still afraid/
If you weren’t real I would make you up now.”
The Replacements “Talent Show”. Awards show and before they singing starts, you hear Tommy Stinson ask, “What the hell are we doing here?”
Let go…life is too short
