Thought for the day....... ``Any perception can connect us to reality properly and fully. What we see doesn't have to be pretty, particularly; we can appreciate anything that exists. There is some principle of magic in everything, some living quality. Something living, something real, is taking place in everything.'' Chogyam Trungpa

Hey Lightfoot-couldn't figure out why you kept repeating "a friend is someone who..." quote, till I realized it was part of your signature-DUH.
Anyway here's one back at you- "When going through Hell-keep moving!"
I like that . And Iove the fact you are posting these quotes-food for thought since it feels like I can't eat much else-just started recovery process-can you tell?
