Gratitude

"Dear God, whose name I do not know - thank you for my life. 

I forgot how BIG... thank you. Thank you for my life."

I have closed my eyes, bowed my head, folded my hands, and recited countless prayers. In desperation I have petitioned and beseeched.

"Thank you" are the only words I have ever truly prayed.

Little round planet
In a big universe
Sometimes it looks blessed
Sometimes it looks cursed
Depends on what you look at, obviously
But even more it depends on the way that you see

Wyeth descent

Situated atop a hill above the home in which Jamie was raised, [his grandfather N.C. Wyeth's] studio was filled with weapons, costumes and colorful paintings of pirates...

"It was just magic," Jamie says. "And then I would go back to my family's house and there would be my father painting some dead bird in the yard."

Livingry

The essence of livingry is human-life advantaging and environment-controlling. With the highest aeronautical and engineering facilities of the world redirected from weaponry to livingry production, all humanity would have the option of becoming enduringly successful. ~RBF
