Art of the Day
- The Charles Bridge of Prague. Fond of bridges, I remember it well, having come down from Kafka Lane higher in the city, and a man on a bycicle literally barking into the wind, and thinking somehow that made sense on Kafka Lane. The ancient history, the brooding statues, the iconic stone arch, the hopeful singers peopling it’s passage, all made it my favorite part of Prague, and a place to revisit for hopeful thought in my memory’s vault.
Wisdom of the Day
- “It’s the bill of rights, not the bill of requests. Rights are not up for negotiations.” Thomas Massie.
