Mia en die dikkoppe

Ons het 'n inwonende paar dikkoppe wat baie territoriaal is en glad nie bang is vir katte nie. Ek het hulle vanoggend dopgehou.

Hulle hou hulle afstand terwyl ek regop staan.

Maar voel baie duidelik meer in beheer wanneer ek plat op die grond sit. Hier het hy homself bietjie opgepof en vir my gekrys - maar nog nie te naby gekom nie.

Mia probeer hard om nes die grond te lyk...

Ek was net te laat met die kamera, maar sien die vlerk in die regterhoek!

Mia is nie gelukkig met waar sy in die hirargie is nie. (Maar wat kan 'n kat nou maak teen twee kwaai voëls?) Ook nog minder gelukkig daarmee dat sy afgeneem word terwyl sy teen die relatiewe veiligheid van die muur skuil. Praat van ruffled feathers op 'n kat!

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." -Albert Einstein

"He who cannot draw on 3000 years is living from hand to mouth." -Goethe

"When confronted with a work of art, we have to open our minds to allow it to carry us away. If we seek to relate intimately to another person, we have to be prepared to make ourselves vulnerable.." - Karen Armstrong

I wanted to live everywhere and smell, taste, feel everything. I wanted to go to sea, explore unknown lands, take off in a space rocket, dine only at all-you-can-eat restaurants, be the last to leave parties. What I couldn’t acknowledge then, and hardly now, is that life just isn’t like that for most of us. The quicksands of suburbia were lurking at every step, and those who broke on through to the sunlit uplands couldn’t find their way back, even when the poverty and lack of enthusiasm for climbing means they wanted to come back. It was the dream of an immature young man, which is exactly what I was.
My eyes would be drawn inevitably to the low ridge of purple hills that ringed the east side of Manchester. The weight of the city; of all those people moving on their tiny arcs across its concrete streets, would be lifted for a moment. That place, over there in those hills, was somewhere I could feel alive, where the moment of release could give me the clarity to understand unconsciously that poetry, prophecy, and religion are all one.

- Ed Douglas: Voices from the Summit, 2000

If the world were good for nothing else, it is a fine subject for speculation.

What is my loftiest ambition? I've always wanted to throw an egg into an electric fan..

His handshake ought not to be used except as a tourniquet.

Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week.

The world is moving so fast these days, that men who says it can't be done are generally interrupted by men who are doing it.

Pioneers are the people with the arrows in their backs.
