Profundities

Christine regularly reads a blog called Walk Slowly Live Wildly, being the exploits of an off-beat family. She discovered it studying decorating photos, I believe. The blog's author, Sara, is given to small apartments yet works to make them lovely and uncluttered.

Christine can't achieve uncluttered. I, uh, own too many books and magazines.

All that's an aside though, I told you all that because I like the quote Sara has and I wanted to pass it along:

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
– Margaret Mead

Books are not clutter, my friend. They are decorations, necessities, profundities in their own right.

Thanks, I'm going to use that line. It's not going to work but I'm going to use it.

500 tops in my own personal space. 1000s in public space libraries -- "cathedrals of books."

Sometimes a single person can change the world, too. Usually either an assassin or someone who is eventually assassinated, unfortunately.
