Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just open your current read to a random page and share a few sentences. Be careful not to include spoilers!
I can’t tell you how happy I am to be reimmersed in Edward Abbey. For today’s teaser, I’ve chosen a crudely-stated bit of philosophy that I enjoyed, uttered by an unnamed character in a jailhouse scene:
Serenity is for the gods – not becoming in a mortal. Better to be partisan and passionate on this earth; be plenty objective enough when dead.
Something about this sentiment struck me. I like the idea of being partisan and passionate on this earth. Maybe because I am. 🙂

If you are a cowboy do you have a choice not to be brave. A cowardly cowboy doesn’t seem to work. Maybe we can blame John Wayne for this. Happy New Year.
Ha! You may be right! “The Cowardly Cowboy” would make an intriguing title, wouldn’t it, for just that reason. Hm.
Happy New Year to you!
“LIKE!”
🙂
