Some things to think about


This was posted by James Ujevich on the Steel Mill Pictorial Facebook page with the caption "I think every house in and around Pittsburgh and the Mon Valley had these items in a drawer somewhere." My family members in the Eastern Pennsylvanian coalfields also had these, or something like them, tucked away.  


This image comes from Philo Thoughts with the following caption:

The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot he taken by the other, because it is not given by the other. ~Osho
