your moment of zen

I live a rather cloistered life. I have no idea who Amy Winehouse is beyond the occasional headline of some train wreck that I just breeze past. Apparently she has a song called Rehab No No No. Too bad she says "no" seeing the little I pick up on her life.

So, thanks to Commentary Magazine, here's your moment to zen for today:

Welcome. Glad we had this time together.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
