Just comes to show how powerful the living is :-)
:)Really loved that!
:) nice one!
i cant imagine how you come back everytime with these powerful quotes! kudos on that!
Did you know Chesterton studied to be an illustrator? Bet he would have liked your collage.
Thanks to you, I just discovered Phillip Glass works well as background for some forms of writing.
In exchange for the Chesterton link, here's one to the entire Father Brown series - I'll have to re-read at least one of them. It's been... ah...a long time :-)

Very cool, C.M. I wish I could spend more time, just searching music vaults! oh the things you find :)
My Gosh I said when I read this and saw your art! wonderful!
So true.
Hi! C.M.,
How True!...G.K. Chesterton, quote and thanks, for sharing the music as usual.
Take care!

Never Heard That One Before! I Like it! Very True..Have a groovy Tuesday!
Sending good thoughts your way, CM.
Thanks for this one!
Just recently discovered Chesterton.
thinking of you xxxooo
Great, Coffee! I wonder what would best symbolize our modern media? Probably a toilet roll!
Take care. The Israeli Lobby approaches. Ask Freeman!
hey, anyone who loves coffee is a friend of mine...thanks for your kind words on my blog, and I have a la pavoni at home...won it as a settlement prize!
Chesterton is an interesting character...I am relating that quote to the fact that the villain at the heart of things in "The Man who was Thursday" turned out to be the anarchist...and yes, anarchist sounds like something else.
Great quote and pic--again!!
Take care now
peace and love

Knowing the way that Chesterton's mind worked, I figured that he would have stated the other choice ... its only the living that can make the choice to go with the stream or against it.

sinmstone: There's some irony in that quote. If ya think about it. Are you living, if you go with the flow? Hmmmmm, I wonder? !
