"To me the venture meant nothing real: a little escapade. I can't believe in 'doing things' like that. In the great issue of the war there was nothing to be 'done,' in Murry's sense. Probably not for many, many years will men start to 'do' something. And even then, only after they have changed, gradually and deeply. I knew then, and I know now, it is no use trying to do anything -- I speak only for myself -- publicly. It is no use trying merely to modify present forms. Thw whole great form of our era will have to go. And nothing will really send it down but the new shoots of life springing up and slowly bursting the foundations. And one can do nothing but fight tooth and nail to defend the new shoots of life from being crushed out, and let them grow. We can't make life. We can but fight for the llife that grows in us."

-D.H. Lawrence

Sometime I like to think of myself a s blade of new grass, or a seedling. I need rain to wet me and sun to warm me and soil to nourish me. I have a fence around me to keep the rabbits out, and most importantly I have faith -- faith without having religion.
