The children are innocent until proven guilty. For their sake, not ours, we must soldier on, muddling our way toward frugality, simplicity, liberty, community, until some kind of sane and rational balance is achieved between our ability to love and our cockeyed ambition to conquer and dominate everything in sight.

beautiful words and an equaly beautiful 'painting'. i fancy that the words might have a certain resonance for a certain someone at this moment in time.
you are one nice man.
Gorgeous as always. I echo CJ.
Mr Abbey, in his strolls thru the desert, must have gleaned much from the solitude.
Thanks for the thought, Ed, you lived not long enough.
Lovely quote, Goatman. The adjective, "cockeyed" is very forgiving isn't it?
It would sound different without that one compassionate word. Not only a sane sentiment, but kind - considering the message. Almost forgiving.
