I really liked your quote, Patricia. Mush is good.
It brought to mind a song with one of the most lovely, sort of haunting melodies, that came from a 1970 movie version of
Wuthering Heights , probably before most of our Kiva Friends were even born. I loved it from the first I heard it.

Wow! I love this!
And I love this so much that I am
clapping loudly and enthusiastically with one hand!* Hey, can you folks hear my clapping from San Francisco?
* One widely known kōan is "Two hands clap and there is a sound; what is the sound of one hand?"

You could start a poll to find out.

"Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams." - President Barack Obama, June 4, 2009

Grameen America has been posting a daily quote on Facebook...
this was yesterday..
Muhammad Yunus Quote of the day: "If you lend to the poor, do it without concern for profit. (...) Microcredit was created to protect the people from moneylenders, not to create more moneylenders".
I loved it.

Some quotes from quantum physicists ."[T]he atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts." "Observations not only disturb what is to be measured, they produce it." "The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment." “It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct.”
Looking for serenity you have come to the monestary.
