    Shelter, water, fire and food are the correct order when in a survival situation.

    The essentials of life, as already listed in various orders.
    Music, sweet music.
    Thinking about how beautiful so much of our country (and the world) is and thinking about ways I can help protect that beauty.
    Maintaining a sense of humor amongst the chaos.
    Working on the final last read-through edit of my book.

    For me, what and who matter pretty much every other day in my life.

    I do have some really nice memories of this holiday from when I was a kid, though.  I am thankful for them, and for those who helped make them.

    An interesting thought that came to me this Independence Day:

    My father, who is still with us, has lived through  a little over 40% of our entire nations history since it gained independence in 1776.  We are a very young nation.

    Congress can only get together for bipartisan support of empirical foreign policy, things that might help you and I....nah, maybe later
    funny the way it is...

    Just read this in bed, ready to hit the zzzz'z and was so blown away I got up to jot it down:

    "Every wild thing is in tune with its surroundings, awake to it's fate and in absolute harmony with the planet.  Their attention is focused totally outwards.  Humans, on the other hand, tend to focus introspectively on their own lives too often, brooding and magnifying problems that the animal kingdom would not waste a millisecond of energy upon.  To most people, the magnificent order of the natural world where life and death actually mean something has become unrecognizable."

    Lawrence Anthony, The Elephant Listener*, p.249

    *The author points out that term "Elephant Listener" refers to the awareness of elephants, not that of the author.


    "It's a sad and beautiful world"
    -Roberto Benigni
