Apiarians

"Were I to be the founder of a new sect,

I would call them Apiarians, and, after the example of the bee,

advise them to extract the honey of every sect."  

- Thomas Jefferson

When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied: "Only stand out of my light." Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we can do for creative men and women is to stand out of their light.

-John W. Gardner, author and educator

"The spiritual mind is always metaphorical.

Spiritual thinking is poetic thinking.

It's always trying to put a very diaphanous experience into words,
realizing all the while that words are inadequate."

~Sam Keen (b.1931)

"Those who build walls are their own prisoners.

I'm going to go fulfill my proper function in the social organism.

I'm going to unbuild walls."

~Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018)

"I think of the need for more wisdom in the world,

to deal with the knowledge that we have.

At one time we had wisdom, but little knowledge.

Now we have a great deal of knowledge,

but do we have enough wisdom

to deal with that knowledge?"

~Jonas Salk (1914-1995)

"My experience of emptiness is that it is alive

with the possibility of everything waiting to be born."

~Mary Martin (1913-1990)

“You've gotta

Dance

like there's nobody watching,

Love

like you'll never be hurt,

Sing

like there's nobody listening,

and

Live

like it's heaven on earth.”

~William W. Purkey

Found For Friday

Even the king of the jungle knows that readers digest

and writers cramp.

If the relatives can come for Thanksgiving,

what about all the absolutes and variables?

A hungry lion was roaming through the jungle looking

for something to eat. He came across two men.

One was sitting under a tree and reading a book

the other was typing away on his typewriter.

The lion quickly pounced on the man reading the book

and devoured him.

Did you hear about the Buddhist monk who refused

Novocain during a root canal?

He wanted to transcend dental medication.

With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

A will is a dead giveaway.

 The batteries were given out free of charge.

The man blotting his wet shoes with newspapers, explained, "

These are The Times that dry men's soles."

When chemists die, they barium.

Velcro! What a rip off!
