    The Right Kind
of Vacuum



 
"Our age has become so mechanical that this has also affected our recreation. People have gotten used to sitting down and watching a movie, a ball game, a television set. It may be good once in a while, but certainly is not good all of the time. Our own faculties, our imagination, our memory, the ability to do things with our mind and our hands-they need to be exercised. If we become too passive, we get dissatisfied."
 
 
 

 
"Learning often begins when a child sits around for a while wishing for something to do.  Thus we see the problem with filling up his time and space with commitments and diversions."
 
~From the January 2011 Inspire! Newsletter article, "Love Changes Everything" by Oliver and Rachel DeMille.

Do you know what today is?

  • Something lost, something gained
  • Mathematicians and myth-makers
  • Outrageous stories and fashion outrages
  • Inventors, signs and images


Maybe you "got" it; maybe you don't. Should you?

Look! Up in the sky!

On this date in history, something was lost, and something was gained.
