If you had to choose a theme song for your life, which would it be?
What passage or passages from a book, poem, short story or other literary work moved you so much that you've never forgotten it?
Two quotes were particularly meaningful to me this year:
By Rumi :
"Everything you see has it’s roots in the unseen world.
The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Every wonderful sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade.
But do not be disheartened.
The source they come from is eternal, growing, branching out, giving new life and new joy.
Why do you weep?
The source is within you, and this whole world is springing up from it."
And by Dr. Seuss:
"Be who you are and say what you feel.
Those who mind don’t matter,
And those who matter don’t mind."
Words to live by!!!
This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock music festival. Did you go? If you didn't what did you feel about it?
I did not attend ~ lived on the West Coast and had no money to travel. I was 17, had just left home for the first time, living in Hollywood (my hometown). The events of that summer were just a little hard to wrap one’s mind around: first, Man Walked on the Moon in July - Amazing! Aug. 10 ~ Manson murders in Hollywood = evil and hate. Aug. 16 ~ Woodstock = Peace and Music. Humankind at it’s best and worst in a month’s span.

Sam - I read the NY Times piece and it did, indeed, "say a lot" about our lives, ourselves, mothers, daughters, sons, family! It was a beautifully written piece.
Do you remember your first kiss?
What traditional technology do you still use?
