This Is Peace
This is peace. To look upon
the worst of my life,
to grieve even, and
to know with a certainty
that all is well.~ Ken Fales (https://kenfales.wordpress.com/2018/02/22/i-remember/)
Commentary #63: “Awareness vs. Understanding”

I started following Caralyn’s awesome blog, Beauty Beyond Bones, a while back. She is an awesome, amazing woman. I love all of her posts!
She always shares something profound, or thought-provoking, every week. This past week was no exception.
Here’s the link to her post, published on February 22nd:
Caralyn’s focus is her journey after her eating disorder (ED). She’s a beautiful woman, who is an activist for so many causes. She posts recipes, too!

This particular post shined a spotlight on Weight Watchers being in the news last week, and not for a good reason.
They announced they would be offering free memberships to teens, ages 13-17.
Naturally, this caused almost immediate backlash.
I’m with Caralyn. I don’t agree with Weight Watchers offering these free memberships. Teens, ages 13-17, have enough to deal with in their lives. Yes, obesity remains a…

AMEN!
In the eyes of a man
I make him seem weak
In the eyes of a woman
I make her seem ordinary
Not my fault…
Since birth he is taught
that boys don’t cry
she is taught
that girls are fragile
In the stark light of sun
I make everyone seem
ridiculous & pathetic
In the gloominess of night
everyone is free to shed me
silently and hidden
Not my fault…
You are taught since birth
that sharing me with someone means
baring your weakness to the world
Not my fault,
That you have to wonder
How emotionless the world has become
Not my fault
that you don’t understand
the cleansing power of me
or the healing power of me
or how humane I make you
Not my fault
that you don’t know
the power of tears

Tour Saint-Jacques Paris – I find this tower fascinating and this picture I took shows how distinctive its silhouette is on the Paris skyline.
The Tour Saint-Jacques is all that remains of the medieval church Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie which was tragically demolished during the French Revolution for its building materials. It now stands in a small garden and its top can be glimpsed from many parts of Paris. It was constructed between 1509 and 1523 and is a spectacular example of the flamboyant Gothic style. It marked the start of the the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela along the Tours route. On the top of the tower the sculptures represent the four evangelists (the lion, bull, eagle and man), appear on the corners.
Blaise Pascal is also commemorated there as he used the height of the tower to conduct experiments into barometric pressure.
This photograph from the Metropolitain Museum was taken in the 1860s…

We Do Not Discuss It

We value virtue but do not discuss it. The honest bookkeeper, the faithful wife, the earnest scholar get little of our attention compared to the embezzler, the tramp, the cheat.
