Thought for the day....... "It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. Some people have a special gift for this. Perhaps this explains why some missionaries, notwithstanding their efforts, never come to speak properly, to communicate delicately through silences. Although they "speak with the accent of natives" they remain forever thousands of miles away. The learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds." Ivan Illich

5-8-2011 Thought for the day....... "A warrior must cultivate the feeling that he has everything needed for the extravagant journey that is his life. What counts for a warrior is being alive. Life in itself is sufficient, self-explanatory and complete. Therefore, one may say without being presumptuous that the experience of experiences is being alive." Carlos Castaneda
Happy Mother's Day!!

Thought for the day....... ``When we surrender, we allow the universe to work its magic; we say yes to infinite possibilities; we trust that things will work out as they are meant to; and we give ourselves permission to let go of the outcome. The act of surrendering can be liberating, intimidating, blissful, scary, and a swirl of so many other emotions. But in the end, we accept that life will work its magic if our words, thoughts, and actions have integrity and are impeccable." Davidji

RE: The 6-1 2011 Thought....... "I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you'' Friedrich Nietzsche
An astute reader picked up on the fact that this is not a quote from Nietzsche. Actually the language doesn't match others I've read. I always appreciate your input and comments. To see the complete history of the search, see this link.... The same reader also pointed out that most quotes are paraphrases (unless taken from actual written documents).
``Not that you lied to me but that I no longer believe you has shaken me.'' Friedrich Nietzsche

Thought for the day....... "Patience, forgiveness and joy are the three greatest characteristics of divine love. They are characteristics of all real love - if there is such a thing as real love outside of divine love. Without these three characteristics, love is not love. If you give the name 'love' to anything else, it is as though you were giving the name 'sheep' to a goat or a pig." Saint Nikolai Velimirovich
