I just want to share with some of you what’s been going on lately. Some really good things have come to fruition.
My painted turtle Medusa turned one in March! I’ve had her since she was a hatchling.
Awww Laura!!! those babies are too cool!!
I hope you have fun with your dragon… they sell them here at the flea market and I always stop in to see them… I dont own any but love to watch them when I can…
Like “temperance”, humility can take many decades of letting go of illusions, expectations, and drives towards distractions such as money, power, notoriety, etc. Loving a child (the highest form of love) can teach one a lot about human values. It seems to be the closest to a “sacred” (whether religious, or not) privilege (and not a duty) of anything that I have in my own life known. Folks will sometimes be critical. That’s OK. We may individually come to “core values of conscience”. One of mine is not incarcerating (anybody’s) children, for any reason(s). What “decencies” we have are learned, rather than endowed.
We call first truths those we discover after all the others.
-Albert Camus
Noting here that the words of which we are speaking were penned by Laura.
