The Cat's Meow

Devotees of Lewis Carroll, author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", work to find the sources of Carroll's imagination.

The Price of Misjudgment

“If a man does not judge himself, all things judge him, and all things become messengers of God.” – Nachman of Bratslav ”If I do not accept responsibility for the evil I do, the very earth will rise up to judge and condemn me. The stars, the trees in the wind will provide sentence…”   -Julius Lester
