Something opens our wings.
Something makes boredom and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us.
We taste only sacredness. --Rumi

The temperature in Yekaterinburg was minus 15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit) on Friday. (AP Photo/ Ural Press Photo, Alexei Vladykin)" (From Yahoo)

That is a very particular taste of sacredness!! Not for the faint hearted. Love Rumi's poetry/wisdom, swimming in that sort of water is for fish. Mind you water freezes at 0 degrees celcius so I guess the water is the warmer option?

Ya know, I’d rather have the $240,000 as well, I read that too, it was such a good read I emailed it to about 20 other people. A do over at the primaries would work for me, but as a second checkpoint I want a “None of the Ab28v&#e2o1; category please!

Félicitations, monsieur, pour ce beau ge0e&e#823s;personellemtnt, je mourrais pour participer aux fêtes de Poiret…mais pourquoi avoir choisi ce couturier, et non pas un femme, telle Jeanne Paquin? Par nationalisme? En outre, le Tout-Paris annonce déjà la venue d’une autre femme modiste-couturière, Mme Vionnet, ce sera pour très bientôt, il semblerait…
