Another 16-year-old was killed in Asheville this week because she was answering a text message and crossed the center line, hitting a truck. And a young girl walking along a street was killed when a driver texted this message: "Do we have enough cheese for the party?" and veered off the road, striking her. Please stop. Put your cell phone in the back seat when you drive. (Thanks to Cate Scales)

Love these vintage tees. (Thanks to Marilyn Maciel)
When a postcard is a piece of cake.
When trees are more than trees.
soul :: my heart and yours
These three writers are quite obviously deranged.
That? That is a voice.
Wow. That's a journey.
The place where I create things? It looks nothing like these places.
A final thought :: In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go? -Siddhartha Gautama
