50
This is the 50th post on the blog--honestly never thought I'd keep it up this long, but here all three or four of us still are. And now there are pictures, too.
So it seems, at half a hundred, I should have something wise to say, something to capture the moment, but I'm afraid only two things are leaping to mind.
One is the Shriekback quote that I think pretty much sums up the key to life: "Free your ass, and your mind will follow."
The other is a quote by Emile Durkheim, in his book The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, where he says--and I think this holds true in a remarkable variety of ways--"Whatever touches the sacred carries the sacred with it."
From there, all you have to do is figure out what's sacred to you. And maybe the best way to do that is to free your ass.
