"Da Morning After"

"Yum! Ono Des"

"Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends."

Czech Proverb

"When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object." - Milan Kundera

"Live your life as though there is great joy to be experienced... an abundance of goodness in each person you come in contact with, and the knowledge that you have enough inner wisdom to answer the mysteries that challenge you."
- Meladee McCarty

Today dawned bright & gentle. Even the sidewalks were dry. No more lashing winds, but tame, delightful breezes, to dry everything out. "Light! Sky! Well being! Bien Estar! Nachas!"

Tip for da day: Everything we worry about may happen as we fear, or has happened as we regret. When we dwell on those, we absent ourselves from This Moment - also known as the Here & Now - where all the power, pleasure, and possibility are in play. . . To stop, blink, and really inhabit the present means being in the Presence where inhalation & exhalation dance to the beat of our heart. This is where life is taking place all the time, mostly unnoticed (we have more important things to think about). This is not about mental concepts. This is about really giving yourself permission to BE. . . DOING is our servant which has run mad. Symptoms of your progress will include a growing tolerance for ambiguity, and your walls & boundaries becoming permeable membranes . . .
