There's a new White House web site for the new administration - very cool, with everything from historic White House pets and quotes and biographies from former Presidents to Obama policies on just about everything of importance to an up to date blog on Presidential actions and a video of his first weekly address (this time about the recovery program). White House web site is http://www.whitehouse.gov/. Thanks Mary J.

People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.

Yes, the new white house web site is cool. I too loved looking at the pets -- only a few cats.

It is interesting that we will note with awe the miracles of life and nature around us and usually ignore the miracle of people -- except when babies come and kids touch us as innocents close to the divine.

Thank you for this site, Victoria.

What a great site, Victoria. Thanks for sharing it here. I will look in often at the white house. :)
Your quotes are often so right on for where I am. This one really strikes me today because I do travel either to the mountains or the ocean so I can gaze at those wonders and be inspired. I'll have to take a look at people and marvel at them, at me, at all of us. Thanks.
