life is the journey of the heart

About Me

food for thought:"we are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition, when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. we are far too easily pleased." ~ cs lewis"we live in a world inundated by these mimetic passions. what we call "modernity" is a world of feverish mimetic desires and fascinations. with powers of telecommunication of which the Aztecs could not have dramed, we are given models to emulate incessantly. we are inspired to envy, desire, compete, resent, aspire and be ambitious." ~ gil bailie
