"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Philippians 4:8 King James Version (KJV)

“The world’s otherness is antidote to confusion [and] standing within this otherness — the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books — can re-dignify the worst-stung heart.”
“It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when
it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful
grounds at Pemberley.”
--Elizabeth Bennet on falling in love with Mr. Darcy
If you ever find yourself in Disley, Cheshire, England, be sure to visit "Pemberley" -- Lyme Park's mansion and gardens. The estate became the seat of the mysterious Mr. Darcy (in the 1995 BBC TV series "Pride and Prejudice") and it swept Lizzy off her feet.
It was either Pemberley or the shirt that did it. I'd say it was the latter, although Jane Austen never wrote the now famous 'plunging in the lake' scene. Somehow I think she wouldn't have had any problem with it.
What if you're on the opposite side of the Pond? No worries. Head on to Washington, DC in August. Get a feel of Pemberley at the Folger Shakespeare Library. See "The Shirt."
Or just watch this clip. Enjoy the view.

"It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures."

Let's begin:
I've come across several articles lately describing poetry workshops for patients with dementia and Alzheimer's. I admire people like Molly Meyer. See what she does: http://www.mindseyepoetry.com/index.html As I was reading about dementia, I caught myself thinking about a device called "zoetrope" - in a way it helped me understand the "mechanism" of dementia a little better. Zoetrope. I love the word. So, here's your article for today:

This is what my backyard looks like when we get snow. The picture is not from this week - the blizzard didn't reach us at all - no, it's actually from last week. We had one perfect winter day. The following morning the snow was gone. So, here's your Wikipedia article:
