Photos, Hebrew and Alcotts

Not only is my good friend Natasha selling her marvelous photography in all forms of product in person ,at fairs and also online at Photography by Natasha.  But she is also doing an amazing lecture/discussion at Limmud Boston.

Her list of thought provokers include:

1. Are you leading a life of quiet desperation?
2. When you come to die, will you discover that you have not lived?
3. How can we be joyful when there's so much suffering in the world?
4. Why does Walden quote Ecclesiastes so much?
5. Did Henry D. Thoreau plagiarize the Bible?
6. Was his cabin at Walden Pond really a sukkah?
7. Is wisdom worth it?



Also, for those of you who are Alcott fans, the author Eve LaPlante, will be speaking about her book, Marmee and Louisa at First Parish.

Writing this from NYC, it is easy to miss the Walden area this weekend!!  Off to edit my own tribute to The Pond, my novel calling "The Swimming" written for NaNoWriMo.  Consolation prize, indeed!
