LINES OF THE DAY

". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15

". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153

Pony Can!

     . . . .Vaquero, an avid twitter follower of carefully curated twits, though not a user himself, drew my attention to this teeny video of teeny pony. I watch it several times a day because it makes me happy.

Not to mention the adorable tiny round hooves . . . .
