Here's something you don't often hear me say in July: Yesterday was another in a string of beautiful days: not too hot, not too humid, sunshine during the day to bring clarity to a world of green, little fluffy clouds providing fuel for the fires of sunset.

Quote of the moment:

There is no arriving on the living path of Wisdom. There is only this step, and this step, and this step. There is no perfection on Wisdom's path, there is only perfecting. One step is not superior to another other, only more thoughtful, compassionate, just, and wise.

With every step there is something to do. Large or small, complex or simple, each moment offers you an opportunity to act. Do what you can with each opportunity. Give when giving is what is required. Take when taking is what is appropriate. There is no right action for every step, only a right action at every step. Even if your path takes you into the realms of falsehood and chaos, you can act for Wisdom and order. It matters less where you step than it does what you do when you get there.

--Rabbi Rami Shapiro commenting on Proverbs 3:27-31 in The Divine Feminine in Biblical Wisdom Literature

I have more to say. There is always more to say, but there aren't always words to say it with.

I can tell you that I want some Swiss cheese, but that fact really isn't very interesting at all.
