"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Ann Palizzi's Next Ordeal


I got this message today, and thought I would share it with those of you seeking an update on Ann Palizzi. It is an excerpt from a message from Ann's son Tony, via a mutual friend:

"Can you get the word out to your family and friends . . . that my mom could use some extra prayers in May? She has to testify in a preliminary hearing on May 12th, then she has to do a psychological evaluation for custody purposes on the 14th."

Reliving the anguish of January sixth, then participating two days later in what will arguably be the most important personal evaluation of her mortal life. Imagine the stress. Please do keep Ann in your prayers.

Thank you to this photographer.
