Asked directions,
Arrived on time,
Helped deliver the baby,
Cleaned the stable,
Made a casserole,
Brought practical gifts and
There would be peace on earth.
Great minds discuss ideas.
Average minds discuss events.
Small minds discuss people.
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
We must be willing to get rid of
the life we've planned, so as to have
the life that is waiting for us.
The old skin has to be shed
before the new one can come
-- Joseph Campbell
"You can either complain that rose bushes have thorns...
or rejoice that thorn bushes have roses."
On the road between
the homes of friends
grass does not grow.
Norwegian Proverb
The ordeal of being true to your own inner way must stand high on the list of ordeals. It is like being in the power of someone you cannot reach, know or move, but who never lets you go; who both insists that you accept yourself and who seems to know who you are."
-Florida Scott-Maxwell
The Measure of My Days
"Again, foul weather shall not change my mind,
But in the shade I will believe what in the sun I loved."
-Henry David Thoreau
Explorations
It does not do to dwell on dreams
and forget to live.
-Albus Dumbldore
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
We do not stop playing because we grow old;
we grow old because we stop playing.
When you believe
that you cannot
stitch your own heart
back together,
go to work on the
hearts of others.
