Soul Food: Week of February 5, 2023

“Soul Food” is a regularly updated calendar of meditations sometimes questioning conventional wisdom & often suggesting eternal values

Sunday: The more things change the more they stay the same. Jean-Baptise Alphonse Karr

Monday: It’s the same thing your whole life. Clean up your room! Stand up straight! Pick up your feet! Take it like a man! Groundhog Day’s Phil Connors

Tuesday: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times … Charles Dickens

Wednesday: … it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness …

Thursday: … it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity …

Friday: … it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness …

Saturday: … it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
