This is a great thread. Can't believe I've never looked at it before. I see you are in Colorado, as am I.
Here's my favorite quote for today. I seem to be able to relate to it quite a lot.
"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations." Charles R. Swindoll
Thanks for this thread.

Thought for the day....... "How do you say yes to yourself? By allowing desire to be your compass and the wind that fills your sails and asking the mind to be the servant of the heart. In our culture we ask the heart to obey the mind, and it can't because it is something so vast the mind can't even comprehend it. Just let go, say Yes!" Doug Lesser

Thought for the day....... ``But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo; the splendor of fame fades into nothing; but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.'' James Thurber

Thought for the day....... "Spiritual awakening opens the door to a life beyond ego; a life lived directly from spirit rather than from the mind. In order to live this way we must stand alone not as an island or a defense, isolated within the structure of ideology, but as a free being. We must step completely out of the known, out of every conceptual box, every container that humanity has ever created, so that the freshness of spirit can flower ever new and free." Adyashanti

Thought for the day....... ``The internal dialogue is what grounds people in the daily world. The world is such and such or so and so, only because we talk to ourselves about its being such and such and so and so. The passageway into the world of shamans opens up after the warrior has learned to shut off his internal dialogue.'' Carlos Castaneda

Thought for the day....... ``Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.'' Albert Einstein
