Monday Morning Memo

(If you click the image above, you move into Questions and Answers)

This is the end of our journey together,
but you still have horizon before you.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
M
ay God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Because I know you are curious about it; yes, that image is real and undoctored. It is the Aurora Borealis above a church in Iceland. The photo was taken by Michal Balada. I licensed it from Dreamstime.com along with many of the other images in this collection. About half the photos were licensed through iStock.com, and a few were contributed by friends like Stephen Semple and David Payne. – RHW

Random Quote:

“Why is it that so many ghosts prefer to travel the halls of night? Ask the living and they will tell you that these spirits either have some unquenched desire or an unaddressed grievance that stirs them from their sleep and sends them out into the world in search of solace.

But the living are so self-centered. Of course they would judge a spirit’s nocturnal wanderings as the product of earthly memories. When in fact, if these restless souls wanted to harrow the bustling avenues of noon, there is nothing to stop them from doing so.

No. If they wander the halls of night, it is not from a grievance with or envy of the living. Rather, it is because they have no desire to see the living at all. Any more than snakes hope to see gardeners, or foxes the hounds. They wander about at night because at that hour they can generally do so without being harried by the sound and fury of earthly emotions. After all those years of striving and struggling, of hoping and praying, of shouldering expectations, stomaching opinions, navigating decorum, and making conversation, what they seek, quite simply, is a little peace and quiet. At least, that is what the count told himself as he drifted down the Hall.”

- A Gentleman in Moscow, p. 123
