 "You're only as young as 

the last time you 

changed your mind. "

           Timothy Leary

 Alan's Hale [Hawiian: Hah-Lay = 'House']

“On the other hand, the 

emotional record was not 

like a history book; 

its truths were constantly 

changing, and true even 

when incompatible.” 

          Julian Barnes

"It is not necessary to 

deny another's reality 

in order to 

affirm your own."

                       Anne Wilson Schaef

It can be very useful

to realize that something

can be deeply, meaningfully,

true to another person,

even though the FACTS

as you see them

seem to contradict their

deep conviction.

We tend to make an idol

of our interpretation,

upon which we are too

ready to sacrifice our 

kindness and patience.

Not to mention,

another person.

Comprehending the kernels

of concern and truth 

important to a 'wrong' person

is the more productive,

the wiser, kinder way.

I would rather make friends

than win arguments.

I want to thrive in an 

atmosphere of mutual respect

where we listen to one another,

and not just so we can fight,

convince, or win.

We will thrive together

as family, or perish

as tribes of fools.

Thank YOU

Friend!
