BEST STILL FREE

Mar 04, 2010 18:00

I recently supposed that the aphorism, "The best things in life are free" is meaningless when disability compromises a persons ability to motate, or breathe, or think, because these "best things' can come at a very high price or be impossible to get when one's legs or lungs or brain synapses fail.( But things look brighter today... )

And love ... the love you have for Dianne, that comes through so clearly in your lj.

I think that Meditation and Mayonnaise would be a wonderful title for a collection of essays. :)

Nice exposition of a fundamental difference between public and private goods, by the way.

A collection of someone else's essays maybe. Although I am getting more enamoured by the sight of some of my sentences, and I can't say that the thought hasn't crossed my mind.

Or maybe Miracle Whip and Miracles. I actually love Miracle Whip and feel just like the people in the ads.
Unfortunately I'm not too into actual miracles; but using "miracle" generically, I find plenty of them around (of which Miracle Whip is perhaps one),

I fear Miracle Whip, and think that mayonnaise has little righteous place* in my universe, but like you, I'm not a miracle person. I can understand one meaning for it: an occasion in which the testifier felt particularly close to, in relationship with, touched by God. I think people often use it where I would use the term Providence. I don't understand any of the usages in which it means outside the [fabulous, intricate, intimate, loving, multi-faceted, funny] order of Nature. Which seems to me tender astonishment and instance of divine order enough.

* To be specific, I give it place in BLTs, German-style potato salad, celeri remoulade, and devilled eggs (otherwise known as Protestant crack). I do not have any of these often.
