As dreams are the fancies of those that sleep, so fancies are but the dreams of those awake.

Good Book
Good book is wholesome, informative, and entertaining.
Sibling’s Love
Sibling one: “If your child and I were drowning in a lake and you could save only one at a time, who would you save first? Your child or me?”
Sibling two: “My child. Because it’s not only a matter of love, but also it is my duty to make sure of my child’s wellbeing.”
Sibling one: “Sigh…! I understand.”
Sibling two: In case you and I were drowning and a rescuer could save only one at a time, I would let the person save YOU first.”
(By the way, happy new year, every one! What do you think about the above post?)
Marriage
An interracial couple: "Do you think our marriage is abnormal?"
Me: “No. You are both human so it is normal. If one of you is an animal, that is abnormal.”
December 2015
Donald Trump: “Keep the Muslims from coming in until the Congress figure out what’s going on.”
A voter: “Why only Muslims? Sometimes I wonder if Donald Trump has a jealous twin brother trying to ruin his presidential candidacy.”
Censorship
Only the suppressed word is dangerous.
—Ludwig Bome
November 2015
Carson: “…the terrorists are like rabid dogs.”
An audience: “Good comparison. But what do you think America should do about the Syrian refugees?”
Clinton: “…It’s time to broaden the effort.”
An audience: “Oh so vague…”
Trump: “We don’t know who they are. Keep the refugees in Syria and give them humanitarian aid…”
An audience: “I don’t know. At least, that’s a clear statement, Donald.”
Mother Nature’s Whimsical Moment
Fire in the sky!
Mother Nature’s capricious moment of
turning the clouds into flames
right before the sunrise.
Difficult Goodbye
Saying goodbye to your be-loved one, whether it be a person or a tree, is always difficult. This apple tree graced my yard for nearly two decades since I grew it from a sapling. Even the cat loved it. But a disease got it last fall. I hope it will grow new branches next spring.
Books
Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; some few to be chewed and digested.
