I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death. ― Robert Fulghum #quotes

Empathy and education change our views of the world.

Image of a middle-age man sitting in a low-lit study looking out of a window reflectively as it rains outside on the city streets with people covering themselves from the wet with umbrellas. The quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky in upper left quadrant on the window reads: Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart.

And what if all of animated nature Be but organic Harps diversely framed, That tremble into thought, as o’er them sweeps Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze, At once the Soul of each, and God of all? - Samuel Taylor Coleridge “The Eolian Harp”

The crescent Moon and crescent Venus emerging from behind it, yesterday

via EarthSky: Yesterday, some skywatchers had a chance to watch the #moon pass in front of #Venus in a tricky-to-observe daytime occultation. Gadi Eidelheit in Rehovot, Israel, captured this remarkable sight of the crescent Venus emerging from behind the crescent moon. Thank you, Gadi!

I visited the Emily Dickinson Museum today for the first time. Dickinson's poetry has always been an inspiration. Her gnomic lines and wry wit are unmistakable. I learned about her love for dogs, especially her long-time canine companion Carlo. As a dog person myself, I had to get this sticker.
