“Look for beauty & poetry in everything in life. Let there be no moon that does not know you, no spring that does not lick you with its tongues. Refuse to play it safe, for it is from the wavering edge of risk that the sweetest honey of freedom drips & drips.

Live dangerously, live lovingly. Believe in magic. Nourish your imagination…Remember that life is much too serious to take seriously – so never forget how to play.”

- Tom Robbins, in his “lost commencement address” https://rainshadownorthwest.com/2022/05/09/the-lost-commencement-address-by-tom-robbins/?fs=e&s=cl&fbclid=IwAR36HcmnCmBFxni_sjla-2BOeci7oT8pdjyiNgfnXI6ElbvfmpG0uaf6RGc&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

@Sheril I had never read that speech. It’s wondrous.

@Sheril

"Instead, ignore it, walk away from it. Turn your backs on it, laugh at it. Don’t be outraged, be outrageous! Never be stupid enough to respect authority unless that authority proves itself respectable."

@Sheril Love this quote, thought. On your other science blog post, I know Sandra and admire her work immensely.
