What the world really needs is 

more love and less paperwork.'

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, 

instead of cowering before them, 

we should make up our minds to 

walk boldly through them.  

          Orison Swett Marden

The age in which we live, 

this non-stop distraction, 

is making it more impossible 

for the young generation 

to ever have the curiosity 

or discipline because 

you need to be alone 

to find out anything.

 Skies are clearing.

Waters running clean.

People Waking To 

What Matters.

 Earth. . . Sky. . .Thunder. . .

Mountain. . .Water. . .

Wind. . .Fire. . .Lake. . .

These change

And if these do not last

Do man's visions last?

Do man's illusions?

Take things as they come

All things pass.

 Lao-Tzu (6th century BC)

From translations adapted by Timothy Leary

(born October 22nd 1920 - died May 31st 1996)

We Have This

Unprecedented Opportunity

to be social heroes

by staying home

and exploring the freedom,

creativity, love, and wisdom

in our private domains.

Emotions flow in curlicues

and spirals. We process by

feeling. And this is no different.

Don't dwell on What-If

but shed a tear, then

cherish your delight.

Whatever happens,

our Today

will never come again.

celebrate your courage,

your neighbors and your family

by amusing and distracting

yourself and those close.

I find bad jokes and old

movies particularly helpful.

We WILL come out the other side.

Wiser and more grateful

for the every day blessings

of "Normal Life" and

hopefully one another.

Now turn off the news

and go play (safely).

Fondly, cloudia
