Something Worth Considering Soul meanders... Then, as a reader, whether one agrees or not with the passage, a self-analysis of why follows - that is, if one can think and envision, imagine, feel empathy... The fact that a few scribbled words can provoke this is the marvel of the mind. And, sometimes, certainly, a constraint. But for all the times it is a constraint, the fact that such words have emanated from a wo(a)ndering mind, brings to the forefront the wonders of the world and those who live here. Life is very short for some, too long for others. And for others, it is consumed by a burning desire to know - even if the questioner has no idea what (s)he questions. The questions themselves are the life support. And then, once in a rare while, the silence (after reading such words) comes and lets us breathe - for a bit - and process (also for a bit)... before we commence again. Where is the silence I now need? comment []  permalink  posted by: jgh  8:12:00 PM

Two Political Notes I got an email for Senator Orin Hatch today. Why he has my email address is beyond me since we have very different perspectives on the way the world should be, Earlier in the day I received a contract with a government agency - their addition was wrong. They needed to add two whole round numbers. somehow that was a bit too much, I guess. I laughed, albeit a bit wryly. In any event, what accompanied Senator's Hatch's email, turned the laughte to astonishment. The SoBig virus - which of course, since I'm using a Mac and have religiously updated all my security and virus patches on my PC - didn't really matter. But I quickly began to wonder if the goverment had any clue at all what it was doing. Well, the contract is real - and the math still wrong (I wonder if government officials should take the standardized high school graduation tests now required all over the place?). But, of course, Senator Hatch hadn't really emailed me - unless he's using TerraWorld. Then again... who knows? comment []  permalink  posted by: jgh  2:50:20 PM
