Mondays in NC
Hey boy and…boys. Just wanted to let you know that Chicago was fantastic and I wanted to thank Jimmy for his hospitality and showing me around the city. Perhaps next time I will get myself lost there and really start to explore. LOL I will give more details of events and post pictures later.
But, now, I am back in “darling” North Carolina. Joy. But only three days to work this week (hoping for less if they let us out early on Wednesday). And then on for a vacation…although not sure where I will be headed after my parents’ house.
So sit back with a few quotes and know that I am sitting here thinking of all my friends.
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
“The no-mind not-thinks no-thoughts about no-things.
“Those who really seek the path to enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. They then proceed with strong determination.” ~Shakyamuni Buddha
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. ~Beverly Sills (1929-) American Opera Singer
Dance as though no one is watching you, Love as though you have never been hurt before, Sing as though no one can hear you, Live as though heaven is on earth. ~Souza
(Extra points to those who can tell me who said the following)
the world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms…

I recognize it, but don't remember who. Shame on me, the so-called great literary scholar. Guess I'm not such a scholar after all, huh?
