Parent Littles Kingdoms

More From Michel De Montaigne

Seek first the kingdom of wealth and you'll worry over every dollar. seek first the kingdom of health and you'll sweat every blemish and bump. seek first the kingdom of popularity, and you'll relive every conflict. seek first the kingdom of safety, and you'll jump at every crack of the twig. but seek first his kingdom and you will find it. on that, we can depend and never worry.
Sweat Safety Worry
The kingdom of god is available to you in the here and the now. but the question is whether you are available to the kingdom. our practice is to make ourselves ready for the kingdom so that it can manifest in the here and the now. you don't need to die in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. in fact, you have to be truly alive in order to do so.
Order Practice Heaven
In the history of mankind many republics have risen, have flourished for a less or greater time, and then have fallen because their citizens lost the power of governing themselves and thereby of governing their state; and in no way has this loss of power been so often and so clearly shown as in the tendency to turn the government into a government primarily for the benefit of one class instead of a government for the benefit of the people as a whole.
Loss Class Government
The weakling and the coward are out of place in a strong and free community. in a republic like ours the governing class is composed of the strong men who take the trouble to do the work of government; and if you are too timid or too fastidious or too careless to do your part in this work, then you forfeit your right to be considered one of the governing and you become one of the governed insteadone of the driven cattle of the political arena.
Strong Men Class
Relationships are like rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall. then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like egypt... that thrives, and continues to flourish. this kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.
Relationship Soulmate Fall
Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. the real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. one could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.

So sweep away the sand an' dry the ocean, an' just pack the moon an' stars up in a cardboard box. and stop the clouds from chimin', block the sun from shinin',an' paint the sky a deeper shade of blue, 'cause my world's over without you.

Anyone who relishes art should love the extraordinary diversity and psychic magic of our art galleries. there's likely more combined square footage for the showing of art on one new york block - west 24th street between tenth and eleventh avenues - than in all of amsterdam's or hamburg's galleries.

The beauty of doing film is that you construct whatever you do block by block and you can build something that will stay.
Block Film Constructs
Our electrically-configured world has forced us to move from the habit of data classification to the mode of pattern recognition. we can no longer build serially, block-by-block, step-by-step, because instant communication insures that all factors of the environment and of experience co-exist in a state of active interplay.
