Ruth's note: I asked my friend Charlotte (the smartest woman
I know) what kind of pillow
should one use:
a. Feather
b. Polyfill
c. Foamrubber
This is her answer:
The answer is: a) because
1. Feathers provide a more natural death.
2. If pressing hard won't work, the tiny downs might tickle
nose and other
body parts and cause a ruptured diaphram - very painful.
3. Down molds itself around obstacles.
4. Feathers can be laundered in the washing machine and
reused.
5. feathers form a tighter seal, no chance of catching air
by moving your
head sideways.
6. Feathers have a long history and might remember and
therefore work
more efficiently.
See....I told you she was smart!!

From a 1994 Inaugural Address by Nelson Mandela
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our
darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and
fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the
world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.
And, as we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to be the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)
D. McClean
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as
beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They did not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Dutch Painter
WARNING
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other peoples gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. --Jenny Joseph
