Ah, yes. This is what my mother told me in my very late teens the morning after a drunken episode at a company party. How could I ever show my face at work again, I asked her?
What a great quote!! ha ha And a wonderful photo - love this little guy (we don't have them here but I was enjoying the bright red on our downy woodpeckers today - those flashes of red just are so amazing and beautiful).
Dawn, I've returned to this little guy and the quote several times - it always puts me in my place (right where I should be!). My hubby (a photographer) really likes your banner photo but wanted to know where the owl was? ha ha Guess he thought it needed one?
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.
