Restrained authority

Now one thing I have to tell you. In this
particular show you have to be armed to
enforce your authority. But you’re not to
use your weapon under any circumstances.
Under any circumstances. Is that quite clear?

Sorrow

The sorrow that tortured me,
the shame that overwhelmed me,
the desperation that wracked my mind,
all these I could feel, but even now
I can find no words to express them.

to the place that you’re going.

Human Nature 01

One of the most tragic things I know about
human nature is that all of us tend to put
off living. We are all dreaming of some
magical rose garden over the horizon instead
of enjoying the roses that are blooming
outside our windows today.
Dale Carnegie

… an endless prospect of magic and wonder.

Mystery of Life

The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced

When you speak, It’s silent
When you’re silent, It speaks

And slowly your thoughts will come to silence
And in that silence, you suddenly begin to see the world as it is
You don’t see any past
And you don’t see any future
You see that we live in an eternal now
There’s only the eternal now
Alan Watts/Frank Herbert/Soren Kierkegaard
