If we were having coffee: Salmagundi edition

If you’ve got something to crab about, cross the line and do it there.  I’ll be happy to join you.  The view is amazing, and usually the only crabbing I do around that sort of view involves dropping a line in the water and throwing back whatever I catch.

Run mad as often as you choose, but do not faint!

~ Jane Austen, Love and Friendship

Beauty does not linger

Beauty does not linger; it only visits.  Yet beauty’s visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm; it calls us to feel, think and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful.

~ John O’Donohue
