Bells

My nature writing professor in California once described the bells in Paris, how if they rang all at the same time you couldn't hear any one bell in particular. Since they each sounded so beautiful the French began to stagger the timing, so "you could hear time move across Paris. Now there's a culture that has a clue. Don't ring all your bells at once."

laugh!

if you're not smiling you should probably check your pulse.

last wendesday morning a youngish hasidic jew sat on the metro train making faces at his reflection in the window. either he forgot people could see him, or he simply didn't care. both are commendable. let's be silly when we don't think people are looking, or simply because we don't care if they are!
