N.C. Wyeth
Richard The Lion Heart
In any relationship, there will be frightening spells in which your feelings of love dry up. And when that happens you must remember that the essence of marriage is that it is a covenant, a commitment, a promise of future love. So what do you do? You do the acts of love, despite your lack of feeling. You may not feel tender, sympathetic, and eager to please, but in your actions you must BE tender, understanding, forgiving and helpful. And, if you do that, as time goes on you will not only get through the dry spells, but they will become less frequent and deep, and you will become more constant in your feelings. This is what can happen if you decide to love.
I agree on the car ride point.
It didn’t come through in the text, but I totally Nelson Muntz’d my wife tonight.
Ahhhh….This is great.
THE DONKEY
G.K. ChestertonWhen fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born;With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.
HITUMBLR. Here’s $2 for MP3s.
Dear Tumblr Pals,

So, as a gift to you, we’d like to offer you a $2 credit towards MP3s at Amazon MP3.
Here’s what you have to do:
Very cool of Amazon to do this. Also, them > iTunes for music, no question.
Dawkins and Chesterton
“We are machines built by DNA whose purpose is to make more copies of the same DNA…It is every living object’s sole reason for living.”
- Richard Dawkins
“It is as if a man were asked, “What is the use of a hammer?” and answered, “To make hammers”; and when asked, “And of those hammers, what is the use?” answered, “To make hammers again”. Just as such a man would be perpetually putting off the question of the ultimate use of carpentry, so…all the rest of us are by these phrases successfully putting off the question of the ultimate value of the human life.”
- G. K. Chesterton
RIP
