On Good Judgment and Good Advice
Someone has said: ‘Good judgment comes from experience. And experience comes from bad judgment.’ For us to awake each morning happy and confident, we probably didn’t need to do anything spectacular.

On Sunbeams and Paranoia
I was sitting near the window enjoying a light breakfast the other day and the warm morning sun was shining through the partially opened blinds and in the sunbeam were thousands of small particles floating in the beam. They appeared to have no weight as they danced up, down and around. They were very small…
