Garrison Keillor
So my bookstore floated away on red ink
and I thought of having my head examined but shrinks
don’t deal with dumb, it’s beyond their scope.
Bookstore ownership was my dream and when we’re asleep the mind takes its own path.
The most righteous are capable of dreams they could not confess to others for fear of excommunication.
St. Paul had dreams he didn’t include in his epistles.
Solomon did dumb things.
Wisdom comes from experience, and experience includes stupidity.
Theology is about truth but life is about banana peels.

““Honour thy father and mother” is a solemn commitment, the first of the “second tablet” of the Ten Commandments. It is not just about one’s own father and mother. It is about their generation and the generations before, whose leave-taking can also be slow and prolonged, creating a time and space of long-lasting coexistence with the other ages of life. In other words, it is about the old age of life… Today we have rediscovered the term ‘dignity’, to indicate the value of respecting and caring for the life of everyone. Dignity, here, is essentially equivalent to honour: honouring father and mother, honouring the elderly is recognizing the dignity they possess.”
