"When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere"

My soul spoke to me and said,
"Do not measure Time by saying,
'There was yesterday, and there shall be tomorrow.'"
And before my soul spoke to me, I imagined the Past as an epoch that never returned, and the Future as one that could never be reached.
Now I realize that the present moment contains all time and within it is all that can be hoped for, done and realized.

There comes a point when you just love someone. Not because they’re good, or bad, or anything really. You just love them. It doesn’t mean you’ll be together forever. It doesn’t mean you won’t hurt each other. It just mean you love them. Sometimes in spite of who they are, and sometimes because of who they are. And you know that they love you, sometimes because of who you are, and sometimes in spite of it.” ~Laurell K. Hamilton (Incubus Dreams)

PONDERISMS
1·I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
2·There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.
3·Life is sexually transmitted.
4·Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
5·The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
6·Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
7·Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing
UFOs like they used to?
8·Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
9·All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
10·In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and
people take Prozac to make it normal.
11·How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
12·Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly
thingsand drink whatever comes out'?
13·If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?
14·Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?
15·If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
16·If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget.
We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody.
So, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.
