"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Read.


Cultural Offering has a suggestion for summer reading ... short stories.

Here are my suggestions ...

Ray Bradbury - The Introduction to Dandelion Wine
Nothing will do a better job of inspiring wondrous summer living.

Jim Harrison- “Brown Dog” (from The Woman Lit By Fireflies), “The Seven-Ounce Man” (from Julip), “The Summer He Didn’t Die” (from The Summer He Didn’t Die), “Brown Dog Redux” (from The Farmer’s Daughter)
Outdoor awareness.

Ernest Hemingway - “The Big Two-Hearted River , Part I” (from The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway)
Go Up North in your mind.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery - The Little Prince
Enlightenment through exploration.

Jack London - “To Build A Fire” (from To Build a Fire and Other Stories)
Cool off.
