In what is seen, there should be just the seen;
In what is heard, there should be just the heard;
In what is sensed, there should be just the sensed;
In what is thought, there should be just the thought.

Post No. 59 Suspense...
Basketball is a wonderful metaphor for life. Thus, I am proud to admit that I am a basketball junkie... and a Huge Duke Fan!
"View all problems as challenges.
Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow.
Don't run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence.
You have a problem?
Great.
More grist for the mill.
Rejoice, dive in, and investigate."

Post No. 57 Yellow Contemplation
What is it that binds you?
You are not bound by any chains now.
Is it just the thought that you are bound that binds you?
Mental chains can only be broken by mental effort.

Post No. 56 Snowy Night - Nyack, NY
Blind man runnin' through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand
Red lights flashin' through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan
White cane lyin' in a gutter in the lane
And you're walkin' home alone
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castle's burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around
You will come around
~Annie Lennox (Don't Let it Bring You Down)
