*a...I have no quotes! Please forgive me. <br />I have <br />*a plaque a friend gave me that says "A friend loves at all times" <br />*a carved rock with the word "create" <br />*two glass covered boxes of antique miniatures with the important artifacts of my life which contain many things like:<br /> a worry box from Jane Resh Thomas<br /> scissors shaped like a bird from my Aunt Polly<br /> golden chickens from an old friend<br /> barber scissors from my great grandfather<br /> sea shells<br /> hand blown glass from my brother<br /> a fake blue bird and a rose from my wedding <br /> antique thread<br /> miniature fairy gardening tools<br /> antique bobby pins<br /> a mamoth tree seed from my husband<br /> rose quartz<br /> a tiny article about my mother "Former St.Joseph Woman in Theatre role"<br /><br />And I will not bore you with the dozen books within reach which are my all time favorites and listed on FB. I just read their spines, though I've wanted to tape some quotes on the wall. Maybe I can pick some of the above. One I thought about writing up somewhere this week was from a book about poverty. Only I loved it because it applied to my newfound, beloved ADD. Beloved because suddenly my whole life makes sense.<br />"A hungry mind cannot focus."pollyalice_artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583471955974483276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-56552001747164562262010-10-15T10:35:22.160-05:002010-10-15T10:35:22.160-05:00Mary, that quote is from Rumi.

Of course, by criminals he meant folks who go on strike, as opposed to the ones who steal your GPS from your car. The Tony Kushner quote is a new favorite (Everyone should read his plays; he's a genius).
