Without some digging, I don’t have a parallel quote to offer, so instead I will give you one of my favorites by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Here it is:

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.”

Wishing you and your readers a warm and loving season of light.

“Improvement makes straight roads; but the crooked roads without improvement are the roads of genius.” –William Blake

While the freeways of life plough straight through the middle of town, obliterating everything in their wake, the crooked roads for me are the roads on the margins, the ones that roll by those dark and desolate corners where the Muse lies in wait, biding her time until someone comes along to reveal her secrets.

So let’s all be sure to take those crooked road detours from time to time as you never know what gems you might find there.

Happy holidays. Kyle

Don’t pretend you know where you are going. Because if you know where you are going, that means you’ve been there and you’re going to end up exactly where you came from.

Wishing you and everyone at the TP community, a happy and healthy New Year!
