"The free intellect will see as God might see, without a here and now, without hopes and fears, without the trammels of customary beliefs and traditional prejudices, calmly, dispassionately, in the sole and exclusive desire of knowledge—knowledge as impersonal, as purely contemplative, as it is possible for man to attain."

~Bertrand Russell

Sometimes we're so ashamed of ourselves that we automatically feel like Jesus is too.

But He's not. He knew you'd struggle, He knew you'd make some wrong decisions, He knew you'd go through some rough phases, but He still chose the cross.

Don't run from Him.
Run to Him.

It's so quiet when it snows.

The science of why this is is interesting. But the connection between this special quiet and the human soul doesn't need explanation.

I made duck sausage gravy for the first time tonight! We have been trying to see if we like duck sausage enough to stop buying pork sausage from the store (we don’t currently have a local affordable source for pork so we get sausage and occasionally bacon from the grocery store).

The taste is different for sure and obviously I have no idea what seasonings are used for the store sausage but I think we could definitely get used to only using duck sausage. Every little bit we can produce ourselves counts right?

"With all our knowledge of science, we are on the road to hell and with all our wisdom we have fallen into folly. Can you not see that the world is full of filth? Let us flee from Sodom and Gomorrah, let us flee from Pharaoh and from Egypt. In our present society…one can earn respect only if one can draw from the depths of a cursed and shameful breast horrible and frightful blasphemies, or if one murders one's neighbour, or if one spreads discord and sedition throughout society. There is not one person left who does good. Not one…Torrential rain, earthquakes, hail-storms, and tempests all call men to repentance, but they refuse to heed the warning.   Floods, epidemics, deadly fevers, and famines invite men to repent, but they will not heed them”

Ghost Birds

As transparent as ice of old
Blue spectres are gliding forth;

One breaks away from the flow
And another follows that soul —

The wind breaks in and shouts:
"Why track this ghost of an owl?

You already died in that pursuit,
Years ago, should I remind you?"

The ghost bird glances away
With his glassy eyes of prey:

"If I am dead, why bother me?
Why care if I'm caged or free?"

The wind storms and stirs
The pale feathers of the bird!

He cared not for the nature's wrath:
The two ghosts faded off the earth.

The Snow-Storm
By Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farm-house at the garden's end.
The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

Come see the north wind's masonry.
Out of an unseen quarry evermore
Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer
Curves his white bastions with projected roof
Round every windward stake, or tree, or door.
Speeding, the myriad-handed, his wild work
So fanciful, so savage, nought cares he
For number or proportion. Mockingly,
On coop or kennel he hangs Parian wreaths;
A swan-like form invests the hidden thorn;
Fills up the farmer's lane from wall to wall,
Maugre the farmer's sighs; and, at the gate,
A tapering turret overtops the work.
And when his hours are numbered, and the world
Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
Built in an age, the mad wind's night-work,
The frolic architecture of the snow."
