past years feelings
I once listed all the good things I did over the past year, and then turned them into resolution form and backdated them. That was a good feeling
dance sweet night
My goal now is to dance all the dances as long as I can, and then to sit down contented after the last elegant tango some sweet night and pass on because there wasn't another dance left in me.
may arms
Wherever and however any one of us may be conceived, it is the same. We come into being in the arms of God.
summer philosophical mood
The winding down of summer puts me in a heavy philosophical mood.
dream heart hands
It’s the spirit here that counts. The time may be long, the vehicle may be strange or unexpected. But if the dream is held close to the heart, and imagination is applied to what there is close at hand, everything is still possible.
new-year party color
If you want an interesting party sometime, combine cocktails and a fresh box of crayons for everyone.
thinking giving focus
Sometimes during the day, I consciously focus on some ordinary object and allow myself a momentary "paying-attention." This paying-attention gives meaning to my life. I don't know who it was, but someone said that careful attention paid to anything is a window into the universe. Pausing to think this way, even for a brief moment, is very important. It gives quality to my day.
dog names fleas
Arguing whether or not a God exists is like fleas arguing whether or not the dog exists. Arguing over the correct name for God is like fleas arguing over the name of the dog. And arguing over whose notion of God is correct is like fleas arguing over who owns the dog.
inspirational men long
The Sikh gave him the money. When Menon asked for his address so that he could repay the man, the Sikh said that Menon owed the debt to any stranger who came to him in need, as long as he lived. The help came from a stranger and was to be repaid to a stranger.
christmas children memories
I know what I really want for Christmas. I want my childhood back. Nobody is going to give me that. I might give at least the memory of it to myself if I try. I know it doesn't make sense, but since when is Christmas about sense, anyway? It is about a child, of long ago and far away, and it is about the child of now. In you and me. Waiting behind the door of or hearts for something wonderful to happen. A child who is impractical, unrealistic, simpleminded and terribly vulnerable to joy.
fields tourists unending
Only now have I finally realized that my life has been an unending field trip. And I have tried hard not to be a tourist. But to be an adventurer, a traveler, an explorer, a learner, and a pilgrim.
wells
Anything not worth doing is worth not doing well.
peace coping-mechanisms wish
Peace is not something you wish for, it's something you make
games world way
Is it always to be a winners-losers world, or can we keep everyone in the game? Do we still have what it takes to find a better way?
