But as it turns out, he chose to speak of a few of the UU principles. Today, like every other day, we wake up empty. I recently ...

HOLY † SCHMIDT. My Guide to the Galaxy and All Things Cosmic, Kismet and Inane. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness,. Some momentary awareness comes. As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,. Who violently sweep your house. Empty of its furniture,. Still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out. For some new delight. Meet them at the door laughing,.

HOLY † SCHMIDT. My Guide to the Galaxy and All Things Cosmic, Kismet and Inane. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Political Truth or Dare. Forgive me Father for I have sinned.

But I also notice those forever absent the ultra-conservative fundame...
