Meditate On This


Clip on LED Booklight with Button Cell 

Most of what one reads is...

Diabolical 
(Madoff)

Licentious
(Weiner)

Quarrelsome
(Sheen)

Terrifying
(The Rapture)

Shocking
(Arnold's secret child)

Devastating
(Japanese earthquakes)

Disastrous
(Greece Debt)

Contentious
(House Debt-Budget Fight)

Creepy
(Bed-Bug Infestation)

Sensational
(Casey Anthony)

Litigious
(Facebook vs The Winklevoss Brothers)

Unravelling
(Lopez-Anthony Divorce)

Scandalous
(News Corp Hacking)

And then all it takes is a charming piece of poetry or prose to transport us to a better place.

In the tradition of "On the Importance of Language Arts" and "The Colors of Life", both of which were written by a graduating senior of Santa Teresa High, I am pleased to bring you another delightfully spun piece of poetic prose written by a graduating senior of Santa Teresa High...

 “Feet Planted” by Gursharan Summan

In which he tells you where he would like to go - using imagery that bends, whirls, swirls, winds and twists.

Coming this Saturday...

“Feet Planted” by Gursharan Summan.

Don't miss it.

 P.S.  A big thank you to my daughter for helping me keep this blog fresh, vibrant and youthful by getting hold of pieces such as "On the Importance of Language Arts" and "The Colors of Life" by John Paraskevopoulos and "Feet Planted" by Gursharan Summan. Shukriyaa, Tanita! (Shukriyaa is thank you in Hindi.)
