How To Cope

A   L   O   H   A  !

 

 " The mind

is not a vessel

to be filled,

but a fire

to be

kindled. "

Plutarch

" What we achieve 

inwardly

 will change 

outer reality. "

Plutarch

" My fake plants died

 because I did not

 pretend 

to water them. "

Mitch Hedberg

 <(-'.'-)>

 Our coping mechanisms

are creatures of the situations

that made them neccessary.

In a strange way

they keep us in

the way of thinking

that needed them.

Coping

is comfort

with what needs

to be changed.

If you can't

change the situation

change your 

thinking.

Don't cope.

Change, transcend,

out-grow.

Psychedelic, Cats!

" The cat

 is the animal

 to whom the Creator

 gave the biggest eye,

 the softest fur,
the most supremely delicate

 nostrils,

 a mobile ear, 

an unrivaled paw
 and a curved claw 

borrowed from the

 rose-tree. "

Colette

" In times of joy,
all of us wished
we possessed a tail
we could wag. "

W. H. Auden

“Oh, you can't help that,'

 said the [Cheshire] cat. 

'We're all mad here.”

  Lewis Carroll

can erase the memory
 of a good cat,
 and no amount 
of masking tape 
can ever totally remove
 his fur from your couch.  "
