"Your faith was strong but you needed proof"

It's been a busy week.

Busy with what I no longer remember.

Busy.

I'm tired. Not quite sure why, but I am. I think I'll spend the weekend unwinding.

Quietly.

I've been trying to ignore the anniversary of Katrina. I can still feel the rage leftover from last year. Just thinking about it starts the bile rising.

I've been trying to ignore Iraq, Iran, Bush and his evil cohorts.

I'm not succeeding, but I'm stubborn enough to keep trying.

Anger. Deep, deep anger. It's not a good thing to live with. I'm angry with this country; I'm angry with the stupidity of humanity. With things I cannot control. So, why should they control me?

Sick world. Always has been, always will be. It pisses me off and I should just let it go.

So, I'm letting go.

Well, I'm trying.

I get brownie points for that, right?

I'll settle for brownies.

Onward!


Friday is art appreciation day!

And today's artist is: William Bouguereau.




Petites Maraudeuses



La Charité



Petite mendiante



L'art et la litterature



L'innocence

There is so much more at that site ~ Art Renewal Center. Well named. In addition to William Bouguereau, see the works of Lord Frederick Leighton, John William Godward and any others who might strike your fancy.

Renew yourself.

Today's title, children, is from Leonard Cohen's song Hallelujah.


I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even though

It all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah




Hallelujah.
