Safe Upon the Shore
Safe Upon the Shore
"A girl upon the shore did ask a favour of the sea;
'Return my blue eyed sailor boy safely back to me.
Forgive me if I ask too much, I will not ask for more,
but I shall weep until he sleeps safe upon the shore.'As though the sea did hear her plea, a vision did appear,
the drifting tip of some wrecked ship came floating ever near.
A figure there did cling to it, approaching more and more,
as if to ride on some strange tide, safe upon the shore."— Great Big Sea, Safe Upon the Shore —

and an agent whereby we may perceive Truth."

Flower Drum Song – The Diamond Age
Flower Drum Song
As I've said before, Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age is my favorite book of all time.
After each rereading, I appreciate the world, its colorful characters and compelling message more and more.
A meditation on the perilous conflict of dreaming of the future while remaining rooted in the past.
Nell, "the barbarian Princess with her book and sword.”

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."
