No Great Deed

A    L    O    H    A  !
“ Calmness is 
the cradle of
 power. ” 

 J.G. Holland






" No great deed, 
private or public, 
had ever been 
undertaken in a 
bliss of certainty."

Leon Wieseltier





" If 
you saw a heat wave, 
would you wave 
back? "

Steven Wright








" Excuse me 
while I kiss 
the sky. "


Jimi Hendrix


  =^..^= 

We try to avoid 
 the unpleasant.

But overlooking 
part of experience
only gives us 
'blind spots."

   When we observe 
ourselves, 
without shying away
 from the pain,
insight has a way
of finding us. 

Pain brings truth
 as pleasure does.

 And a wrong turn
can bring you 
to unexpected 
vistas,
fresh insights-
especially
about ourselves.

Honesty
to Self & Other
is a source of
power.

Pause briefly
from being 
the Hero,
or Victim,
and inhabit
the place of the
Witness.

" Everything changes 
once we identify with 
being the witness 
to the story, 
instead of the 
actor in it.” 

 Ram Dass
