Ruminations Page

When we talk about ruminations, we might be talking about what the ruminants do. That’s the animals that chew their cuds. But we’re really chewing on problems. We just can’t get them out of our heads. So here are some of my thoughts. And if you’ve seen them somewhere before, that’s probably where I found them.

If Money is the root of all evil, then what is the leaves? What do the branches look like? And if money is the root of all evil, I must be downright saintly!
