@Drtinaneel Didn't Lincoln say something along the lines of ....'I don't like that man, I must get to know him better.'

@HelloCoriWillis I say I second your vote

"Home" is where you sweat the moments
where you pursue the dream

where you focus intensely
where there're no regrets

It's where you treasure it all
and where you're true to you

"Home" is where your spirit rests

(Video by Yaroslav Shuraev)

@TMetro88x So true.

The pain twinges off and on. Each body part screams for attention, but NSAIDs washed down with Cabernet quiet the noise for the night. Until the mind, ignored and taken for granted, jolts awake at 3 am obsessing over daily minutiae and fearing another day will be wasted.

@WillCBradley Will, are you channeling your inner Teddy Roosevelt lol? Good words!
See this from TR's 1910 speech The Man in the Arena:
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,... his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

@GhormleyCurt Love Teddy Roosevelt - Curt, have you written about him?

@SoberBuzz_daily More people need to bring this thought into their lives. I hope they do.

There are 2 ways to live your life.

One is as though nothing is a miracle.

The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Loudmouths force their will on others for self-gratification.

@shay2501 That is a GREAT reference to the observable particle. Nicely put, Shannon.

CATCHING THE OX – STAGE IV

This is an active stage towards realization.

Or if that’s not what you’re up to, it’s an active stage on any path you’re on.

Remember the spiral? We go up and down.

In this stage, the ox is caught with a rope but he doesn't want this. So he jumps and drags the young boy fiercely back and forth.

The ox is stubborn and resists breaking from old habits.

Remember, the ox represents the mind, so we're talking about training this mind after so many decades of doing things in a particular way.

This is how we feel when we are trying to change.

We are given instructions on one thing or another and think the transition should be easy.

Although catching the ox was not that difficult, holding on to him requires great strength and energy.

You’ll see Taro struggle with this.

And remember, a spiritual path is just one form.

These ox herding pictures represent anything on any path of your choice. It’s all the same phenomenon.

@TMetro88x The personal one was the one with the sailboat. A special place in my heart.

She smelled the package. The musky graphite and the virgin wood were ripe with potential. With these pencils, she could create worlds, but she could also destroy them if she wanted. The eraser offered the chance to start over, rethink, and nibble. But now? To sharpen!

I’m grateful for every single day. I know I’ll never be here again–in this place, at this moment, and so I love it. I’ve always been a little odd that way, able to step outside myself and realize I’m a leaf on the wind, lucky to be caught up, not having hit the ground yet.
