Winds are still blustery this morning, though quieting down.

Thought of the day: We fit in the palm of His hand...

Don't let the seemingly static, solitary cloud fool you - this is turning out to be a spectacularly windy day (the river is less deceiving with all its rippling ripples). If only there was such a wind for the market - a sort of Kamikaze to blow the bears away... Less than 2 more hours 'til the FOMC announcement.

It is a wonder how the sky changes from day to day - humanity would be so lost without its landmarks and signposts... Sky has cleared, and the market seems to have stabilized for the moment; of course that doesn't mean storms aren't forthcoming on the meteorological or economic front. The economy can go either way at this point - we forget that it always can go either way and become either complacent or entrenched in our optimism / pessimism.

Thought of the day: Go with the flow.

A frigid winter's morn'. If that doesn't signal imminent snow, I don't know what does... The thought for the day: weather isn't God; neither is it an act of God in the sense of punishment for human sins; it's just Nature (the law and nature of the material with which the universe is made). What is God, as I began to see in these views, is that unchanging stillness that exists through and beyond the changes and chances of the universe - which is reflected also in the spirit of the best and worst of us; the best and worst, perhaps that is a fit epithet for Manhattan .
