The Ronin’s Tale: Part 2

“Now there’s ghosts along the highways

And there’s storms out on the seas

My only hope is somewhere in that heaven

Some one is saying a prayer for me

I been ridin’ stone blind horses

Never seeing a reason to believe

Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me

The wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours and thieves”

—-Ray Wylie Hubbard, “Stone Blind Horses”

TEACHING: SIMPLE CAN BE BETTER

“You learn your craft at a higher level when you’re not spending a good portion of your energy re-learning your tools.”

—Elena Moon

I PRESENT YOU WITH A STONE

“Do I risk being stoned in the public marketplace if I suggest that the purpose of education is not to make kids economically valuable, but rather to enable them to develop intellectual and personal worth as well as practical skills?

—Jane Healy, Failure to Connect
