Christmas in July

Fleece wrapped around the feet, she's also wearing an old ratty sweatshirt boasting a crow in a cornfield.  She stares stupidly at the screen wondering what to wonder.  The house floors are clean, the dishes washed, dried and put away.  The recently past hot spell fried the grass and it's gone dormant.  But it's still too long and needs mowing.
When that is done, will she declare Sanskrit Day and work on a glossary for the Living Tantra seminars?  Who's she?
Sheba, Shiela, Shigella, Shenanigan.

"I desire wisdom and my heart seeketh to find understanding. I am smitten with the love of wisdom.... for wisdom is far better than treasure of gold and silver... It is sweeter than honey, and it maketh one to rejoice more than wine, and it illumineth more than the sun.... It is a source of joy for the heart, and a bright and shining light for the eyes, and a giver of speed to the feet, and a shield for the breast, and a helmet for the head... It makes the ears to hear and hearts to understand." - Queen of Sheba

  1. The hunger for facile wisdom is the root of all false philosophy.

    I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
    - Umberto Eco
    A man is wise with the wisdom of his time only, and ignorant with its ignorance.

    Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.
    - Wallace Stegner
    Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.

    Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.
    - George Santayana
    A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
