email & the internet

i so often complain of technology; however, i must say that i am thankful for the advent of the internet and email because i now have the opportunity to make new friends and keep in touch with them.

i have met people from the other side of the world whom i may never see, and that's okay. we have so much to learn from one another. why would i only want to limit myself to knowing those that live close by? i pray for peace in our world and how can i affect that change if i am unaware of how others live?

so, here's to friends near.... and far!

We have technology, finally, that for the first time in human history allows people to really maintain rich connections with much larger numbers of people. ~Pierre Omidyar

flashlights & candles

the lights went out the other night
in the entire neighborhood.
it was so dark, and so scary!!
thank goodness for the light
from my candle and my flashlight!

In the beginning there was nothing. God said, "Let there be light!" And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better. ~Ellen DeGeneres

new books

i got a new book to read: Power vs Force: An Anatomy of Consciousness by Dr. David Hawkins. i'm not sure when i think i'll find the time to read it, but i'm gonna try!!

i love to read,
love it,
love it,
love it!

books are an opportunity for the mind to travel to distant shores, lead amazing adventures, discover romance, and a slew of just about anything one can dream up!! how could you not love it?!

I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book. ~Groucho Marx
