"Americans of all ages, all conditions, and all dispositions constantly form associations. They have not only commercial and manufacturing companies, in which all take part, but associations of a thousand other kinds, religious, moral, serious, futile, general or restricted, enormous or diminutive. The Americans make associations to give entertainments, to found seminaries, to build inns, to construct churches, to diffuse books, to send missionaries to the antipodes; in this manner they found hospitals, prisons, and schools. If it is proposed to inculcate some truth or foster some feeling by the encouragement of a great example, they form a society."
- de Tocqueville, America, 1835

"No obedience can be too strict, no dependence too absolute, no submission too complete, no confidence too implicit to a soul that is learning to count God Himself its chief good, its exceeding joy."
- Andrew Murray, “The Two Covenants” (via misserinmac)

"Youth culture doesn’t exist. But a youth cult does exist, and the youth market certainly exists big time and it serves not only the young but perhaps even moreso those who would be young — forever. The idealization and idolization of youth serves two purposes — it pits the young and old against one another in a parody of class struggle in which natural qualities such as enthusiasm and grumpiness are couched in political rhetoric so as to distract the genuine classes from awareness of their condition. As for youth itself, there’s no future in it. Age is a much better bet, mainly because it is inevitable. But it also comes with many rewards which have been deeply discounted by the marketing people, such as experience, serenity, wisdom, and not, incidentally, wealth."

a picturesque november picnic.
On Thanksgiving Eve, we went on a chilly but heart-warming picnic.
Complete with hot cocoa and scrumptious sandwiches… and a pomegranate.
We ran. danced. booty bumped. lept-frog (past tense?). picked grass.
Can I just say what a joy it is to run around with your best friend?!
And then a lady came to walk her dog, so we whipped our hair. The end.
mel.
