Real Life

I am moved by this Amba post, to which I respond in thinking of her:
And to Jacques' position:
And to Ambivablog:
Dignity, humor and principled uncertainty are rare qualities (I'd like more of 'em myself). Attention should be paid to wherever they are found, in whatever circumstances.
Well, that's what I think, anyway.
I am moved by this Amba post, to which I respond in thinking of her:
Life is a game of whist. From unseen sources
The cards are shuffled, and the hands are dealt.
Blind are the efforts to control the forces
That, though unseen, are no less strongly felt.
I do not like the way the cards are shuffled,
But still I like the game and want to play;
And through the long, long night, will I, unruffled,
Play what I get, until the break of day.
--Eugene Fitch Ware
And to Jacques' position:
Lo! on a narrow neck of land,
'Twixt two unbounded seas, I stand.
Secure, insensible.
--Charles Wesley
And to Ambivablog:
Life is an unanswered question, but let's still believe in the dignity and importance of the question.
--Tennessee Williams
