“For old people like us, there’s nothing to do anymore. Up in the mountains we worked all the time. We had pigs and chickens. Here we just sit around and people play mah-jongg.” — He Shifang, a 45-year-old farmer who was relocated in a sweeping urbanization program in China"
Another day in Seattle. #210inseattle
Oh hello old friend we meet again.
These are the cats they would be. This is the way all history should be taught from this day forward.
Rainy Weekends
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now”
