Wednesday 17.04.2013

Last night (cold and uninviting)and especially this morning (monsoon) not conducive to walking so instead caught up with pre-trip tasks and this morning even updated the blog (see BookBus link on right). Can`t believe we`re nearly there.

In the meantime read this the other day when reading about the death of its author, Roger Ebert, renowned American film critic:
“Kindness” covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out."
