Random quote of the day:


“In nature I find grace tangled in a rapture with violence; I find an intricate landscape whose forms are fringed in death; I find mystery, newness, and a kind of exuberant, spendthrift energy."

—Annie Dillard, quoted in “EarthSaint: Annie Dillard,” Earth Light, Winter 1997

grace tangled in a rapture with violence

I love this. It's one of the things I love about the natural world.

[pjthompson]

Yes. No hypocrisy, just isness.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

YES! You said it: Isness! This is exactly what I love. You have it exactly.

[pjthompson]

Good! :-)

(LOL, I didn't mean it in a teacherly "Oh, quite correct Ms. Thompson" sort of way--I mean what do I know?? I meant it in a "You've said exactly what I feel" way--because it's rare to have someone else say it just the way you feel it, you know?)

[pjthompson]

No, no, no, didn't take it that way. I didn't know what else to say without sounding like a dweeb. :-D "Oh gorsh!!"
