Thought for the Day
“The
ecstasy of religion, the ecstasy of art and the ecstasy of love are the only things
worth thinking about and experiencing.”

SECRETS
We all have our secrets -
kept inside a handkerchief –
in the back of a bottom drawer –
underneath a pair of sweatpants.
There might be 55 other things
in our bedroom – but our secrets
are present and noisy – like the scream
of an alarm clock and we don’t like
their sound - especially when they
go off at the wrong, wrong time.

THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE
Imagine an artist
saying to herself or himself,
“Something’s missing in this
painting.”
And they look around the room
for something – anything - and they
say, “It’s missing a pearl!” or
“A sword”
or “A book” or “A large platter
of pasta.”
And they paint into that painting
a platter of pasta or a dog
collar or a pearl
of great price and that painting –
once worth about 30 dollars is
now
worth millions of euros – hanging
on a wall in a museum in the Hague
–
for all to see and praise and
admire.
