OK, Sally, look: I know that we’re supposed to be religion blogging here at Icons & Curiosities, but I just saw for sale this apple-tree bed:
Its neighboring metalworks-tree bed, too:
and I had to post them. I suppose I could connect them to our topic via, maybe, the brilliant work being done on trees by our friend Alan Jacobs, but, mostly, I thought about how , sleeping in that metalwork forest, I’d be worried about the bird droppings from the center nest.
Remember Hilaire Belloc’s little inscription for a sundial?
I am a Sundial. Ordinary words
Cannot express my thoughts on birds.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
