  Day 299: "Sanity is only that which is within the frame of reference of conventional thought." -Erich Fromm Day 300: "If A is success in life, then A = x + y + z.

I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat...” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince  Day 306: "Who has not sat before his own heart's curtain? It lifts: and the scenery is falling apart." -Rainer Maria Rilke  Day 307: “No one is ever quite ready; everyone is always caught off guard. Parenthood chooses you.

There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson  Day 314: The skin you're in... “There is a face beneath this mask, but it isn't me.

They reveal a disconnect between what people want and need to know and what they actually do know. The greater the secrecy, the more likely a leak." -Heather Brooke  Day 322: The Adventures of Rainbow Bush continue... Yes, Rainbow Bush visited the Sandia Man cave today - converting it to the Wo-man Cave, painting, redecorating and grunting at the visitors on the path...
