Welcome to my ruminations on books. Well, on movies and television and occasionally other websites and music, but mostly on books. Archives are here for now because I can't figure out how to get them to show up on this page.

My journal is no more. This is my only current online presence.

The title, of course, is taken from Wordsworth.

Greg and I returned from London last night. When you return from a foreign country to Philly, you exit the building through the International Arrivals Hall, where this amazing installation is displayed. What I love most about it are the words that the artist chose to highlight with blue neon. Truths. All. Equal. Life. Liberty. Happiness. The most important words of all.

When was the last time you read those words - I mean really read them? We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rghts, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

Creator. Not God. All men, not some men. Unalienable rights.

Think about these words before you speak, would you?
