You know, this isn't one of Peggy's grand columns, but I love it, because it gives me a glimpse of New York that otherwise I would not see. Thanks, Pokey!

Noonan looks at the world, sees and treasures things the rest of us often overlook. She and her son are national treasures.

We work so hard to find happiness. But more and more I think of what a friend told me on the phone 10 years ago after I had written an essay on the subject. He called and said: "This is a famous quote from someone, I forget who, and this is what you mean. 'Happiness is a cat. Chase it and it will elude you, it will hide. But sit and peacefully do your work, live your life and show your love and it will silently come to you and curl itself upon your feet.' "

I love the way Peggy writes. After having heard her read her book "What I Saw At the Revolution", I can HEAR her reading to me when I read her columns. Wierd, huh? She has such a soft spoken voice, and she writes exactly the way she speaks, so it's easy to imagine her voice as I read her words.

Another beautiful articulate conservative woman. I think more men will turn conservative in the future just so they won't have to look at liberal women.

Have you all noticed how Peggy has something for everyone: secular and religious, liberal and conservative, rich and poor, male and female, young and old. That is an art that very people can manage.

One day she's mingling with high society, the next she's reading religious articles on the net. She isn't ashamed of her family, her faith or her friends (conservative).

There's a serenity about her that is so engaging. That, plus talent, is hard to beat.

"Dead or alive?" someone asked. I shook my head. "The way you imagined it, is Osama dead or alive?"

Alive, for now. But that will change soon I think. . .

Peggy Noonan writes another 4 bagger. Thanks for posting this Pokey. Thanks for the ping, Sabertooth!

My friends, this is the kind of column I used to do now and then before the world changed. I tell you what I've been doing and thinking and if you're interested you get a cup of coffee and sit down and read along, and if you're not you can go back to OpinionJournal's main page, or Drudge, or Salon, or Free Republic.

I love you, Peggy Noonan.
