Theodore Roosevelt, on books:

There are rainy days in autumn and storm days in winter

when the rocking chair in front of the fire

simply demands an accompanying book.

- Theodore Roosevelt.

Happy National Cat Day!

Toni Morrison on writing:

If writing is thinking and discovery and selection and order and meaning,

it is also awe and reverence and mystery and magic …

Authors arrive at text and subtext in thousands of ways,

learning each time they begin anew how to recognize a valuable idea and how to reader the texture that accompanies,

reveals or displays it to its best advantage.

- Toni Morrison.

Cats - Bodhi ready for his nap

This is how we usually see our Ragdoll cat, Bodhi, as he readies himself for yet another one of his many naps.

Bodhi’s superpower is his ability to nap anywhere, anytime, for as long as he wants.

Sweet dreams.
