aurora...

watching this you can't help but wonder... why is it necessary to be so beautiful? you get the feeling it's a virtuoso performance, a fabulous show put on for our benefit...

Like sunsets--these incredible paintings that appear every night... whether we notice them or not...

stories and skimming

James Patterson (b. 1947) said:

"If you think of the story that you tell that's your favorite personal story, or funny story, it doesn't have flashy sentences. It doesn't have too much detail. It just tells the story. That isn't, for whatever reason, the way most people write books. But it seemed to me that there was no reason that it couldn't be the way at least one person writes books. I said: 'I'm going to stop writing the parts that people skim.' "

excuse me, can you watch this & NOT laugh??

didn't think so...
