As a writer, I feel that the mission of my office is to do one of two things:

To make you think, (to blow your mind)
To make you weep, (to blow your heart)

Dedicated to the first objective, are the following pieces.

I hope that you will find in them something interesting to chew on. In particular, check out my "My General Adages"  [E] and "On being "fully present"...."  [E] and "Love without expectation"  [E].

The Storyteller



Readers,

Here are my thoughts this week ...


"The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at liberty. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.”

"There are times when the greatest act of kindness we can express towards another human being is to swallow our own sadness, or to refuse to make that sarcastic or impatient remark. Acts of kindness such as these cost us ourselves, and when we agree to pay this price it is a better, brighter world that we buy back." - Guy Finley

“I believe in the sun when it's not shining. I believe in love ... even when I feel it not. I believe in God ... even when he is silent.” -- Irish saying
