Live by these!

"When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself."

"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few."

Shunryu Suzuki

On the road again

"There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting." -Buddha

My Thoughts!

• "I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you." - so true.
• "The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy." - what we fear most becomes.
• "Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'" - Not me, but people I know.
• "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it” - You know you already do!
• "The ability to lie is a liability" - to yourself and your friends.
• "No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes." - I love this one, so true!
• "I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies." - Live by that!

A Door Bell

On Great Titchfield Street, London...

Only noticed this the other day, I am not sure how old it is, the Building is Pre 1900, so the doorbell cannot be far off... The doorbell was said to be one of Thomas Edison's inventions. It was invented in 1831

London still amazes me with all the little things...

Daily Meditation

But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest. - Buddha
