We must cultivate our garden.
I'd give it all up, for just a little bit more.

If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. (Voltaire)
One is often told that it is very wrong to attack religion because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it. (Bertrand Russell)
Believing there is no god gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O, and all things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have. (Penn Jillette)

I know someone who actually makes baskets. I watched her from beginning to end one afternoon. She started by applying coppery and bronzy colors to a large sheet of paper. The design looked like an abstract expressionist painting. Then, she cut the paper into long strips, about 1/8" wide. She used the strips to weave the basket, starting with four criscrossed over and under to start the base. The finished basket was quite sturdy, about five inches wide and three inches high, very subtly colored. I kept meaning to put some dried flowers in it, but it seems to have vanished from the shelf where it used to sit.
