I think an economy should be based on thrift, on taking care of things, not on theft, usury, seduction, waste, and ruin.
~ Wendell Berry ~
from his poem "Some Further Words"
And lettuce. It should be based on lettuce.
Light and shadow. Foreground and background. Stand in the inbetween. Dance in the middle. That's what I'd do.

Love Wendell Barry!
Here's to salad! Good, fresh and crisp salad! ;-)
The simplest things give so much pleasure. Yes to an economy of thrift and care. Yes to lettuce. And as a wee child, it wasn't uncommon for me to snicker when the preacher said, "Lettuce pray." All right, I admit, I'm kidding. I knew what he meant, but I liked to play with words even then, and did snicker when I twisted it that way.
Excellent! What we want pass our basic needs is just waste...
So colourful...and healthy.
Here's to more lettuce.
