“The season of Advent means there is something on the horizon the likes of which we have never seen before ... What is possible is to not see it, to miss it, to turn just as it brushes past you. And you begin to grasp what it was you missed, like Moses in the cleft of the rock, watching God’s [back] fade in the distance. So stay. Sit. Linger. Tarry. Ponder. Wait. Behold. Wonder. There will be time enough for running. For rushing. For worrying. For pushing. For now, stay. Wait. Something is on the horizon.” MeanEnoughRunningPastTurnsWaitingWonderWorryRocksMissingSeasonsDistanceLikesPushingHorizonFadesBrushesMosesPonderingRushingAdvent Author:Jan L. Richardson
“One thing I like about the United States, and I kind of miss about the United States, is there's an election coming up here in England, but no one's going to have a sign in front of their house. Nobody's going to wear buttons. And in France, same thing. In America I like that people have signs and buttons and bumper stickers. Sometimes you'll smile at someone from a distance, then you'll get up close and you'll see their pin, and you're like, "Oh my god.

“Nudity in photography, whether involving adults or children, is a subject sinking under a freight of political and moral disapproval it could never hope to support, and this is not the place for me to get out the bilge pump. I will only say that critics who tremble so fiercely at the thought of the voyeuristic male gaze miss the point that distance generates mystery and enchantment, and expresses the awe with which the male imagination regards all women.” ChildrenPoliticalImaginationMoralSupportMysterySubjectsMissingPhotographyAdultsRegardDistanceCriticsMalesAweInvolvingSinkingNudityPumpsEnchantmentDisapproval Author:J.

“The first important [step] one was going to school. There was an advantage as there was a one-room schoolhouse that was within walking distance of my home. I went there being very shy, but I fit in quickly, and I was nurtured by a very dedicated and caring teacher, Magdalen George, who we referred to as Miss George. She was my teacher for a full seven years.” YearsFirstsImportantHomeSchoolRoomsStepsTeacherMissingFitWalkingAdvantageDistanceSevenCaringShyDedicatedSeven Years Author:Paul Smith
