Doting V Knowing

A  L  O  H  A !
 

" Knowledge
may have it's purposes,
but guessing is 
always more fun
than knowing. "

W. H. Auden








 Help is on the way - Indian Mynah



When the thrill
of learning &
discovery
begins to cool,
we grab some
artifacts
that are close
 at hand,
and
declare it
"Knowing."


Then teaching
and forgetting
ensue.














The only way
to hold on
to the excitement
of the fully lived
moment -

- is to make 
every moment
relaxed,
inhabited,
fully lived.

 <>[}}:{{]<>

Stop trying
start being-
Miraculously:
Nothing will be
undone.

"Must"
is no longer
your mantra.

Try instead:
"Perhaps."

  1. Must took a back seat in my ideology and theology many, many, many, years ago. I have replaced it with trust.

  5. Aloha Cloudia, I agree after reading your lovely quotes I feel such a calmness, and perhaps, now just the thinking of perhaps will perhaps follow me everywhere today! At least trusting in perhaps will get us moving towards things. Peaceful thoughts, Karen

  8. Perhaps I'll just look around a bit . . . take in the aroma of coffee . . . and muse some more . . . only thing missing are the days of pipe smoking . . .

  9. Perhaps, I will live my moments fully aware.

    I see truth in that non-affirmation. Nice.

  15. Must and its cousin should are such hard concepts to discard. And life is a great deal easier and more pleasant without either of them.
