Introspective Scrapping

What would happen if they got snowed in on a mountain together. John Smith has to touch people to pick up psychic vibes. Mr. Monk hates being touched. And the guy from Psyche just like to mess with people so he would probably sneeze on Mr. Monk’s Grilled Cheese sandwich on purpose. I bet inside of 24 hours, Mr. Monk would look like Jack Nicholson in the Shining and John Smith would have his can inserted in an indiscrete place. The guy from Psych would probably be using his photographic memory to remember where the caretaker left his keys.

I have noticed that Elizabeth has to ride in open horse drawn carriages pretty often.  When the showed her on t.v. at Jamestown in a carriage, it suddenly occurred to me that she has to be thinking, “I’m old and I’m the bleeding Queen, I should be able to ride in something with air conditioning.

We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.

_R.D. LANG

Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistence.
