Page 123 Book Meme

So, I went over to Aurora's blog, http://braveweather.blogspot.com/, and she had an interesting meme. I self-tagged.



(1) Grab the nearest book that has 123 pages in it
(2) Go to page 123
(3) Find the fifth sentce
(4) Type fifth sentence and next three
(5) Tag whomever (San, Lee, Murat, ALT)



The book I grabbed was Leo Tolstoy's, "The Kingdom of God Is Within You".


And it reads...

But all the experience of history teaches us that they cannot be altogether suppressed so

long as two men are left on earth, with bread, mony, and a woman between them.

I should be very happy if Congress would prove me in error. But I doubt if it can prove

history, nature, and God in error also.

I am, dear sir, etc. E.M. de Vogue

This amounts to saying that history, human nature, and God show us that so long as there

are two men, and bread, money and a woman - there will be war.

The book is about (taken from the back of the book):

...provocative antiestablishment pieces of literature...

...doctrine of radical nonviolence that Tolstoy understands Jesus to have articulated in the

Sermon on the Mount...

This was going to be my Lenten reading, but has become overcome by 2 OJT books I want/need to have finished reading by mid-February, and "The Great Awakening" that I'll have to extend from the library.

Health and Weather

So, ALT, here is my Health & Weather...I'll pass this along to the other "D".

How linked my cough
to the bitter wind
At least the germs disappate
more quickly or perhaps
more quickly spread

How linked my mood
to the lack of sun
Though this gray be not sad
introspective perhaps or maybe
anticipation awaiting

How linked the room of my intersanctum
to the crisp air
One had hoped perhaps
but layers, layers
prolong the excitement of skin
