Thought for the day....... "The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven." William Channing

Thought for the day - all of us Lyme patients are like Olympic athletes in our own way - handling constant obstacles, managing, figuring our strategies, staying the course, many of us with great doctor coaches, many with good support, sometimes triumphing when we find the right treatments.

Thought for the day....... "We are so impressed by scientific clank that we feel we ought not to say that the sunflower turns because it knows where the sun is. It is almost second nature to us to prefer explanations . . .with a large vocabulary. We are much more comfortable when we are assured that the sunflower turns because it is heliotropic. The trouble with that kind of talk is that it tempts us to think that we know what the sunflower is up to. But we don't. The sunflower is a mystery, just as every single thing in the universe is." Robert Farrer Capon

Thought for the day....... "There's no school that says, 'Cling'. Liberation is about cutting, or dissolving, or letting go of, or seeing through the attachment to anything. The description of the mind of no-clinging may be different in the different schools, but the experience of the mind of no-clinging is the same. How could it be different?" Joseph Goldstein, from How Amazing!
