"From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines, going where I list, my own master total and absolute, Listening to others, considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me."
Walt Whitman (1819-92)
"When I look back now over my life and call to mind what I might have had simply for taking and did not take, my heart is like to break."
Akhenaton (d. c.1354 BC)

Hold the definitions and quotations, it's time for this blog's Blogger Idol top picks for week five!
A lot of cool entries this week. Here are my picks, in chronological order or something:
Deneice ? Picture This...Glimpses of my life!My heart just weeps for this lady, but her courage always inspires, her writing always stays intense. Yet again, welcome to the top five.
Lyton Village ? Pictured this life how it is, not how I wishWow, what a talent for photography this young lady has! She says that she has self esteem problems and battles with her weight.... looks like she is winning, from here.
ed ? Almost too hard to picture...Here in our cloistered society we seldom let ourselves think about what people in other countries face every day. This entry brings it home.
Ryan Cordell ? Picture This I do not think I will ever forget this nun!
Yeah, I know, that is like six and not five. I could go farther and do ten, or even fifteen, there are that many good entries worth mentioning. But I won't.

Thanks for the Mammaries The New South Wales, Australia, state Health agency issued a report noting that mothers who breast feed produce A$2.2 billion (US$1.7 billion) worth of milk. Thus, it argues, women are food producers and breast pumps should be sold tax-free, just like cow-milking equipment. On hearing the news, a Sydney newspaper dubbed breasts “a treasure chest.” (Sydney Morning Herald) ...Which is presumably better than dubbing the women cows.
