Today is Mother’s Day. May you see all the grains of beauty and happiness the world has to offer.
Is money money or isn’t money money. Everybody who earns
it and spends it every day in order to live knows
that money is money, anybody who votes it to be
gathered in as taxes knows money is not money. That
is what makes everybody go crazy… When you earn
money and spend money every day anybody can know the
difference between a million and three. But when you
vote money away there really is not any difference
between a million and three.
Poem by Gertrude Stein, Money
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
Poem by William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
And so too, the value of a penny has diminished in our eyes.
Always (trying) to look for those grains of beauty and happiness – I know they’re there…
This? Is beautiful.
Like you.

Non existent money… you mean credit cards, Visa, Mastercard, Amex etc.? Think we have already!
I never knew that there were dead orgasms in sand.
“If your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.”
– William Goldman, The Princess Bride
From Python, the masters of the sad but so true it’s funny philosophy:
I’ve got,
Ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas,
I’ve got forty thousand French francs in my fridge,
I’ve got lots of lovely lire,
Now the Deutschmark’s getting dearer,
And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
There is nothing quite as wonderful money,
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash,
Some people say it’s folly,
But I’d rather have the lolly,
With money you can ma-ake a splash.
There is nothing quite as wonderful as money
(money money money)
There is nothing like a newly minted pound
(money money, money)
Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker
It’s accountancy that makes the world go ’round
(round round round)
You can keep your Marxist ways
For it’s only just a phase
For it’s money makes the world go round
(money money money money money money money
money money)
Yet things of value are those that no amount of money can buy.
More than a world in a grain of sand
It’s stardust
Just like us
