More Deep Thoughts from the Graduate Carrels

July 8, 2014 Shelly

Graduate Carrel 5E, Herman B Wells Library
Graduate Carrel 5E, Herman B Wells Library

This life is not worth examining.

It is if there is something you’d die for.
For if there is nothing you’d die for, then
there is nothing to live for either.

I don’t know how to live
What is the best way to live happily?
I lost my way.

Franny and the deer had a staring contest. The deer is very curious about little black dog, which is worrisome to me. It was only about five feet off the edge of my patio. Five feet is not very far.
