The Mastery Foundation, for which I lead workshops in normal times, gave, several years ago a plastic box full of hundreds of quotes. I sometimes share them here to give you things to ponder and wonder about.
Pondering and wondering, I think, defines who we are.
So here we go. Just ponder and wonder.
"Never mistake a clear view for a short distance." --Paul Saffo
"Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious." --Brandon Gill
"It ain't what you don't know
that gets you into trouble.
It's what you know for sure
that just ain't so." --Mark Twain
"Love is a great beautifier." --Louisa May Alcott
"For myself I am an optimist--it does not seem to be much use being anything else." --Winston Churchill
"The fish trap exists because of the fish; once you've gotten the fish, you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit; once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning; once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can have a word with him?" --Chuang Tzu
"Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those I love, I can: all of them make me laugh." --W.H.Auden
"The truth may well be even more difficult to relate than it is to find." --Albert Murray
Take a while to ponder each of those....
Shalom.
