pensée du jour

Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.

The Most Beautiful Song

Jethro Tull - Wond'ring Aloud

Wond'ring aloud
how we feel today.
Last night sipped the sunset
my hands in her hair.
We are our own saviours
as we start both our hearts beating life
into each other.

Wond'ring aloud
will the years treat us well
As she floats in the kitchen
I'm tasting the smell
of toast as the butter runs
Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed
and I shake my head
And it's only the giving
that makes you what you are

Blog Whore

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (MarketWatch) -- Big Brown nabbed the Kentucky Derby crown Saturday but the finish was marred by tragedy when second place Eight Belles broke both ankles and had to be euthanized on the track just minutes after the race.

* * *

Only 39 fillies have ever entered the Kentucky Derby in 134 years, and only 3 have ever come in first. I distinctly remember a soundbyte last week from Hilary Clinton saying "she was putting her money on the filly." Unfortunately, that was a win and a loss...a very sad loss.

Tragic. And ironic. Omen of the race to come?

I stumbled upon this website over the weekend, and it's just stuck with me. I already shared it with a few friends, but I thought I'd give it a little bandwidth here. This is a non-profit hospice for elderly, disabled and special animals. I'm such a sucker for critters, and this really tugged on my heartstrings. The intro video is about 5 minutes long, but totally worth watching.
