Please Note: This is my quiet blog. Please tread with extreme caution as I tend to be very raw and vulnerable at this site. If you are looking for me in a more relevant forum please go to http://alectosophelia.typepad.com/ because that's where I live
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
- Albert Einstein

Beautiful shot!
Thank you - it was taken on the Equinox Road in Manchester, VT. It's been a stunning and bizarre fall in New England.
beautiful--what kelly said..
Have you given up blogging?
Your blog and your thoughts are beautiful...
I have not, Jim, but thank you for asking. I've spent the last year putting most of what I need to say into a locked blog because it's been too personal to publish. However, my time is almost up. I gave myself one year and 12/26 will be the last private entry and I'll be back on Alecto's Ophelia on a regular basis.
