Ring My...

At present there are many persons who no longer pay heed to the summons of these bells.
Felix Adler

Today for some reason, I got into a discussion with someone over the function/meaning of bells in our lives. Wedding bells, Christmas bells, church bells, phone bells, door bells, school bells....We were dizzy with the listing of them all. Then we got into songs with bells or bell themes...The one thing we agreed on as persons who have worked in the world of human behavior...we certainly are conditioned to respond to bells...

What can I say, sometimes our brains take us off in directions we don't know we're going to go...
