The Cat's Meow

Devotees of Lewis Carroll, author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", work to find the sources of Carroll's imagination.
Joel Birenbaum, member of the Lewis Carroll Society, investigated an altar at St. Peter's Church in Croft, North Yorkshire, where Lewis Carroll worshiped as a boy.  There Birenbaum saw a small cat crudely carved on a stone wall panel.  When Birenbaum started to kneel the perspective ont he cat changed and it began to vanish from view until all that remained was the strange grin on the creature's face.  - Colin Wright, The Daily Telegraph

All things have their source.  The joy that we feel some days and the darkness that touches us in the eve.  Our task is to find the source, learn what our soul wants to teach, and grow.

Your Worth

  A father  congratulates his daughter on graduations and was about to present her with a car, his car.   “ But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.” The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because the said it looks pretty worn out.” The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said, ”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old car.” The father asked his daughter to go to a car club now and show them the car. The daughter then took the car to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because “it's an iconic car and sought by many collectors.” Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place...
