Food for Thought (#104)

Posted by on Aug 26 2011 | Food For Thought, Songtaneous

“A very wise old teacher once said: “I consider a day’s teaching wasted if we do not all have one hearty laugh.” He meant that when people laugh together, they cease to be young and old, master and pupils, jailer and prisoners. They become a single group of human beings enjoying its existence.”
– Gilbert Highet

“They may forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel.”
– Carol Buchner

Web Wandering (#5)

Posted by on Aug 22 2011 | Songtaneous

When you write a blog, you spend a lot of time wandering the web. Meandering online helps me come up with ideas for blog posts. Another thing that inspires me are the blogs I read.

I have found a lot of valuable, interesting, funny and just downright bizarre stuff in cyberspace. A lot of it never grows up to be a Songtaneous blog post. This post includes a sampling of things I have come across during my virtual travels.

Food for Thought (#103)

Posted by on Aug 18 2011 | Food For Thought, Songtaneous

“[I]mprovisation still gives me the greatest challenge
and the greatest pleasure. I never know from moment
to moment where I’ll end up,
and sometimes I’m scared to death.

Yet, with all the risks, being on the edge is always
the most fulfilling place to be”
— Bobby McFerrin
