New On beauty.
I heard Billy Connolly say that since he'd gotten older, his ideas of beauty had changed. Something about how at his age, he'd put behind him the usual ideas of beauty and found beauty in everyone. I'm younger than Connolly, but I understand what he meant. The Americanized idea of beautiful people is not one I share anymore and I often find great beauty in people that share nothing with that Americanized notion of beauty. But I always find beauty in small children. There are no small children who lack beauty. They only begin to lose their beauty when they gain their ability to speak. ;0)

New Re: speaking
We spend the first three years teaching them to stand up, walk around and speak clearly; and the next fifteen years telling them to sit down, be still and shut up.

New Now That's ... cutting to the chase! A keeper.
Ed:

Could spin a whole bio around that theme, my early-on unwillingness to comply
--and several Memorable adults who, bit-by-bite civilised me somewhat: thus preventing my likely ending up on a BART platform
[SF/Oakland area Metro] face-down on the deck: with a Rent-A-Cop standing over me / drawing his Glock-penis
(instead of the Tazer He Thought.. he had picked!)
/ and blowing me away.

There.. but for the Gracelessness of Cthulhu..

New Cat Stevens fan, are you?
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
