When the pain of being where we are, becomes greater than our fear of letting go...we will risk and heal and grow.

Introspection

Four monks were meditating in a monastery. All of a sudden the prayer flag on the roof started flapping.

The younger monk came out of his meditation and said: "Flag is flapping"

A more experienced monk said: "Wind is flapping"

A third monk who had been there for more than 20 years said: "Mind is flapping."

The fourth monk who was the eldest said, visibly annoyed: "Mouths are flapping!"

-Anonymous

I hate to double post, but since this is a thread intended to collect such things I thought I throw this poem here for safe keeping:

Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting ?
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Cassiline

Intro,

I think its one that needs safe keeping. Thanks for sharing it.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Once you've blown the budget on the Secret Undersea Lair or
the hollowed-out dormant volcano, the stolen nukes, the diorama
of Fort Knox that emerges from the floor, the constellation of
death-ray satellites, and the henchmen, there really isn't much
left over for office furniture. Sure, you could lease, but they
really, really pressure you to sign a multi-year contract.

And it's a bitch to get Staples or Office Warehouse to deliver
to a hollowed-out dormant volcano. Sure, they say they're coming
between 2PM and 6PM, but do they?

Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is Eternity

I might have posted this before but I don't think in this thread:

King Arthur (or someone like that): Are all men from the future loud mouthed braggarts?

Ash: No. Just me baby. Just me.

Introspection

"Wayne, um, what do you do if every time you see this one, incredible woman, you, you think you're gonna hurl?"
"I say hurl. If you blow chunks, and she comes back, she's yours. But if you spew, and she bolts, it was never meant to be."

-Wayne's World
