24. From Dag to Denise to me to you To preserve the silence within amid all the noise. To remain open and quiet, a moist humus in the fertile darkness where the rain falls and the grain ripens no matter how many tramp across the parade ground in whirling dust under an arid sky. Dag Hammerskjöld
I’m your after dinner mint. What matters… what are some really big things we either take for granted, forget, overlook, or maybe even neglect? Things about making what we do matter. What do we know? What should we know? How should we act? I don’t know, but here’s a list of things I’ve thought about. Light but profound, like a baby’s smile. Mixture of Elmer Gantry and Elmer Fudd.
