To the Dandelion
To the Dandelion James Russell Lowell DEAR common flower, that grow’st beside the way, Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold! First pledge of blithesome May, Which children pluck, and, full of pride, uphold— High-hearted buccaneers, o’erjoyed that they An Eldorado in the grass have found, Whic...

Re: Forbearance - Ralph Waldo Emerson
And in contrast: The Disagreeable Man by W.S. Gilbert If you give me your attention, I will tell you what I am: I'm a genuine philanthropist - all other kinds are sham. Each little fault of temper and each social defect In my erring fellow-creatures, I endeavour to correct. To all their little weakn...

Forbearance - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hast thou named all the birds without a gun? Loved the wood-rose, and left it on its stalk? At rich men's tables eaten bread and pulse? Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust? And loved so well a high behavior, In man or maid, that thou from speech refrained, Nobility more nobly to repay? O, be...

Re: Summer Reading 2009 (ongoing)
Love love love Heidi.
Also enjoy the movie with Shirley Temple. But for me, the movie Heidi is not the book Heidi. Give me the book Heidi any day of the week!

Shakespeare Sonnet 66
I've become newly aware of this remarkable and, I think, timely sonnet, Shakespeare's no. 66 Tired with all these, for restful death I cry, As to behold desert a beggar born, And needy nothing trimmed in jollity, And purest faith unhappily forsworn, And gilded honor shamefully misplaced, And maiden ...

Re: How to Be An Antiracist, by Ibram Kendi
I appreciate Rufo's use of the word "pernicious", which exactly describes what I think of Kendi's ostentatious and hateful pretensions. I grant you, nontheless, the verity of: "We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience and allow ...

Re: Patriarchal Blessings
Thank you, Ian, for posting this moving tribute by our father, Oliver, of our father, William. It's humbling to note their great faith and sure witness of truth.
Again, thank you.

Thanksgiving - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
We walk on starry fields of white And do not see the daisies; For blessings common in our sight We rarely offer praises. We sigh for some supreme delight To crown our lives with splendor, And quite ignore our daily store Of pleasures sweet and tender. Our cares are bold and push their way Upon our t...

Re: General Conference
In light of both the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic and the current restoration/reconstruction of the Salt Lake Temple, I was deeply moved just now by President Nelson's reiteration from the closing paragraphs of its Dedicatory prayer: "Heavenly Father, when Thy people shall not have the opportunity of...
