We have to take all the positive action we can, realizing that a lot of the world is utterly out of our control.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-34836197231737297832019-01-15T09:42:33.763+01:002019-01-15T09:42:33.763+01:00I prefer to live in and have faith in randomness a...I prefer to live in and have faith in randomness and chaos.

Were you surprised to find how intense your feelings towards the baby could be? Becoming a grandparent surprised me in that way. I thought I might be detached but devoted. But no, I fell in love.Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929646037752189809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-12876016818132008752019-01-14T00:00:26.003+01:002019-01-14T00:00:26.003+01:00There are online calculators for life expectancy t...There are online calculators for life expectancy that vary by country?Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-30866399520327274192019-01-12T23:30:59.509+01:002019-01-12T23:30:59.509+01:00I think people want order and predictability and t...I think people want order and predictability and the universe prefers chaos and randomness. <br /><br />"The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry..."My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-4359108864235704022019-01-12T22:43:43.380+01:002019-01-12T22:43:43.380+01:00Your link to the article about the ideas of Henri ...Your link to the article about the ideas of Henri Bergson has had quite an impact on my last 24 hours, involving journeying from article to related article on the internet. I even had a haunting dream early this morning that seemed to have been a result of all I had been reading and absorbing since reading your post.<br /><br />May we all experience courage. <br /><br />https://onbeing.org/blog/kate-marvel-we-need-courage-not-hope-to-face-climate-change/<br /><br />"We are all fated to live lives shot through with sadness, and are not worth less for it. Courage is the resolve to do well without the assurance of a happy ending. Little molecules, random in their movement, add together to a coherent whole. Little lives do not. But here we are, together on a planet radiating ever more into space where there is no darkness, only light we cannot see."<br />(Kate Marvel)<br /><br />I treasure the thought of your grandchild listening to the birds.amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-35170158107400729982019-01-12T20:44:49.137+01:002019-01-12T20:44:49.137+01:00Your garden will soon welcome spring and perhaps a...Your garden will soon welcome spring and perhaps also a grandchild to explore its gifts alongside you.
