With our cell phones and PDA’s we are now able to be in touch with anyone and everyone at any time.
In the process, we run the risk of never being in touch with ourselves.

A simple way of not adding anything
Saying “like this” is just a way of reminding oneself to see this moment as it is.

Sunday Quote: Letting go of the constant commentary…
A person knows when they have found their calling
when they stop thinking about how to live and begin to live.
Thomas Merton
…or failing to notice
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.
And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice there is little we can do to change
until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.
R.D. Laing
A mind that is astonished
Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood.
How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs.
How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity
while we ourselves dream of rising.
How two hands touch and the bonds will
never be broken.
How people come, from delight or the
scars of damage,
to the comfort of a poem.
Let me keep my distance, always, from those
who think they have the answers.
Let me keep company always with those who say
“Look!” and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads.
Mary Oliver, Mysteries, Yes
Sunday Quote: what we miss
The whole of life lies in the verb “seeing”
