A quotation from Vonnegut, Kurt, Jr.:

«««««
If you want to really hurt your parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way of making a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable.

Teaching this week, for the first time after a stretch of doing other things for my university. I had forgotten just how much this means to me: standing in front of the students, I and Thou, inviting them to let the subject speak. This is the one thing I do absolutely right, and boy am I fortunate to be able to pursue my vocation as my actual work. Tears of gratitude. Next time I complain about life, remind me of this.

Von Kämpfelbach nach Varanasi, Orissa, India - wieder haben gespendete Laptops und Tablets ihren Weg gefunden.
Vielen Dank den involvierten Spendern und Flugpaten. Michael plant vor Ort den Aufbau einer Berufsschule, sodass weitere IT-Spenden in Indien gebraucht werden.

New posting! This asks whether in have evolved from a hobby, to a , to a profession...and maybe now into a job (and how that's probably a good thing).

Funnily, when I first conceived of this posting (quite a way back) I thought it would be a negative one about how people don't care enough any more, but that has almost completely turned around - I now think it's a good thing if people are stepping back. A good /life_balance isn't something to whine about - we should be insisting on it.

Anyhows, read the posting and see what you think... ;-)

Pauline Martin writes to her sister Thérèse on 7 January 1889: "You fill my heart with joy; I would really cry with joy when seeing that my little daughter, the dearest, holds nothing back in her holocaust… She is saying just like the Spouse in the Canticles: 'Come, my Beloved, let us go down into our garden'..." On 10 January, Thérèse was clothed in the holy habit of Carmel.

"There is a vocation to suffer with Christ and thereby to cooperate with him in his work of salvation.

"When we are united with the Lord, we are members of the mystical body of Christ: Christ lives on in his members and continues to suffer in them. And the suffering borne in union with the Lord is his suffering, incorporated in the great work of salvation and fruitful therein."
