THe stars draw back their shining faces when they surround the fair moon in her silver fulness Sappho I fear the reference was just an aside in the book that I liked and wrote down, but the book is full of wonderful comments about death and life and love. Morrie Schwartz was a professor at Brandeis for many years and the author had been his student twenty years before. When Morrie was dying of ALS, Albom met with him every Tuesday and recorded his last months and his thoughts about life. Ted Koppel interviewed him twice on Nightline. In one of these, he asked Morrie, who was losing his ability to speak, about his best friend of many years, who was going deaf. Koppel imagined the two men together one day, one unable to speak, the other unable to hear. What would that be like? "We will hold hands," Morrie said. "And there'll be a lot of love passing between us." I haven't read "The Rabbit in the Moon".. where would I look? But for the child in you- In the great green room, there was a telephone, and a red balloon, And a picture of the cow jumping over the moon... Good night stars, Good night, air, Good night noises, everywhere.... Margaret Wise Brown Goodnight, Moon

Too lazy to be ambitious, I let the world take care of itself. Ten days' worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace. Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment? Listening to the night rain on my roof, I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out. -- Ryokan (Thank you for the story)
