blogging with mamacita

This weekend I went to Houston to spend time with my parents. It was relaxing and quite enjoyable. Mom and I are enjoying a lazy Sunday by exploring some of her old notebooks. I'm not sure of the sources, but here are some interesting thoughts to start your week:

-Water: connects, flows and dissolves things.
-Fire: helps to create the vital inner energy that everything is said to have.
-Air: gives space, gives movement, the medium of communication between things.
-Earth: gives things form and substance.

Everything has its particular combination of these things put together in a particular proportion to make a particular entity.

New in paperback this week...Tulia: Race, Cocaine, and Corruption in a Small Texas Town.
According to the New York Times- "Tulia follows the legal battle that ultimately led to the reversal of the convictions, and is a devastating critique of Texas' judicial system and the nation's drug laws." The Times goes on to describe this book as a "modern-day To Kill a Mockingbird." Thank God for the Atticus Finches in the world.
