He was shifted around to many different homes. He knew he was a writer when he was about nine, but he was dyslexic.

It forced him to go deeper.

Rod SerlingIn pure awareness the mind cannot drag you down into the mud, into the gutter. In anger, in hatred, in jealousy, the mind is absolutely impotent in the face of awareness.

Jennifer ConnellySome dogs could play fetch all day long, while others have absolutely no interest in chasing a ball. Some might love "find the treat" type puzzle toys and others may completely ignore them. The important things are that your dog finds the toy interesting without becoming obsessed over it, and that it is size and safety appropriate for your dog.

We are killing, absolutely killing our energy business in this country.

And it was very healing for me to read that, and feel like it was a part of other friendships, even fictional friendships I admire.
