thehonestpalate: Clear evidence that Big Food wants to trick you. I read about this somewhere a few months ago, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen the horrifying sight in real life. Potato chips prominently displayed in the produce section.   Apparently, processed food companies are trying to work their products into the fresh/unprocessed food section of grocery stores to align them with healthier alternatives and boost sales.     Normally, (and I’m sure this is the case for many), I never travel down the chips aisle, but now here they are, right in the middle of two weekly staples:  avocados and tomatoes.  Perhaps a shopper was picking up some tomatoes for salad, then saw the chips, and thought… Mmm chips and guac!   Delicious and totally fine.. except when a company is manipulating you when you’re not even aware.   Nothing makes me angrier.  So BEWARE!  Don’t let Big Food get a hand on your grocery list.  Get that junk out of my produce aisle.

poetryandart: “In 1956, Beat poet Allen Ginsberg was hitchhiking near Carmel, Calif., when he passed a wooden sign that marked Edward Weston’s home. So the young Ginsberg dropped in unannounced on one of the world’s most famous photographers, by then in his late 60s and ill with Parkinson’s disease. Weston was polite, showed Ginsberg some photographs, and then ushered him out, saying, “Don’t forget. I was once a young bohemian like you, too.” – from ‘Beat Memories’ at the National Gallery, a collection of photographs taken by Allen Ginsberg throughout his lifetime and featuring such characters as William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac and Peter Orlovsky.  The photographs are brilliantly captioned in Ginsberg’s scrawling hand.  The inscriptions are “are essential to the power of Ginsberg’s photography. They are written in the same unpunctuated rhythms of his poetry, and they connect the details of the photographs to the long lists and relentlessly noticing eye of Ginsberg’s best written work.”  Indeed. In sad and related news, Peter Orlovsky, Beat poet and Ginsberg’s lifelong lover, died last weekend of lung cancer.  You can read more at The Allen Ginsberg Project about Peter Orlovsky and the reception of Ginsberg’s photography exhibition.

The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don’t have to waste your time voting.

For me, prayer is a movement of the heart; it is a simple glance toward Heaven; it is a cry of gratitude and love in times of trial as well as in times of joy; finally, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus… . I have not the courage to look through books for beautiful prayers…. I do like a child who does not know how to read; I say very simply to God what I want to say, and He always understands me.
