Humanity, I Love you

I wont bore you with the whole poem but my favorite part goes like this:
...
Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it's there and sitting down
on it...

E.E.Cummings

On to Buckminster Fuller...

*Treehouse inspired by Buckminster Fuller Geodesic dome*



"...Animals don't have any money, and the sun and the wind doesn't have any money. Money is some kind of invention of humans...  There is a greater intelligence operating in the universe than human intelligence and if you'll commit yourself in faith to that, you may find that you can get on."
Lastly, Alexander Calder.
"[Calder] is renowned for the invention of the mobile, whose suspended, abstract elements move and balance in changing harmony."
Whatever this picture makes you think of him, I hope that someday, when you look at me, you will get that same feeling.

Suzie,

Just found this through the various links and links and links. I love your writing!

And if we have another baby, we are thinking of naming him Calder.

Avery (the name) was also artist inspired. Milton Avery...Milton wasn't as attractive to us for some reason...
