reading mind great-work
Reading poetry and reading the great works of the canon that we were reading in the '60s and the '70s and '80s was mind altering.
crazy mind machines
I am learning slowly to bring my crazy pinball-machine mind back to this place...
mind trying quiet
and you try to quiet your mind so you can hear...
sick mind heal
...since you can't heal your own sick mind with your own sick mind, I needed to consult somebody else's sick mind.
sick long mind
Mattie sat at the table, obsessing, orbiting around herself. She was sick of her worried, hostile mind. It would have killed her long before, she felt, if it hadn't needed the transportation.
home self mind
I realized I was going to get through this disappointing service, and anyway, you have to be somewhere: better here, where I have heard truth spoken so often, than, say, at the DMV, or home alone, orbiting my own mind. And it's good to be out where others can see you, so you can't be your ghastly spoiled self. It forces you to act slightly more elegantly, and this improves your thoughts, and thereby the world.
powerful mind ass
To be engrossed by something outside ourselves is a powerful antidote for the rational mind, the mind that so frequently has its head up its own ass.
mind earth purses
Her purse was a weight, ballast; it tethered her to the earth as her mind floated away.
mind trying neighborhood
My mind is a neighborhood I try not to go into alone.
patience mind trying
Try looking at your mind as a wayward puppy that you are trying to paper train. You don't drop-kick a puppy into the neighbor's yard every time it piddles on the floor. You just keep bringing it back to the newspaper.
children book mind
This is one thing they forget to mention in most child-rearing books, that at times you will just lose your mind. Period.
mind bigger agree
When we agree to being part of something bigger than our own wired, fixated minds, we are saved.
The American way is to not need help, but to help.
created faith god hates image opposite people turns
The opposite of faith is not doubt: It is certainty. It is madness. You can tell you have created God in your own image when it turns out that he or she hates all the same people you do.
