Stephenson Family Ties: A Poem for Thursday

A Poem for Thursday

The quality of mercy is not strained;

It dropeth as the gentle rain from heaven;

Upon the places beneath; it is twice blessed;

It blesseth him that giveth and him that takes.

-William Shakespeare

it's about that shell & quote over there on the right. the transformation one. totally rocked. loved it; am loving it. you need to share the quote getting machine that you have, so i can incorporate it onto mine.

oh, and there may be some changes coming to the ole blog. i got some inspiration hiking today. i guess it does that to you huh?

For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
