Remember Slow Food?

MEMORIES from a friend :


My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old.

I just hope the changes in speed of doing things and the COST of doing those things these days doesn't wipe out the ability of our children and their childrens future where they could wish for the good old days of their parents.

The future is open to grand temptation where lurk the swindlers of self proclaimed reason and those populous shadows who prey amongst the new humanity tethered to its global consciousness collection.

25 by 25 I'm rather dirty

Dan remember those wax whistles
 
But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons,
And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.
—Kahlil Gibran 1883-1931
