I, Philosopher

"Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." -- Albert Einstein

Does embracing nature and its beauty extend to tasting it? Because I had an amazing time hanging out by the pool and nibbling on those delicious green leaves you see in the picture. Which brings me to my next quote, by a far more obscure gentleman, an American preacher and activist during the Civil War era.

"The dog is the god of frolic." -- Henry Ward Beecher
