Is everything linked? I can see links between a few quotations about books, a violin, and the journey.
“Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes along.”
~~Samuel Butler
“Whereas you do not know about tomorrow.
What is your life?
For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”
~~James 4:14
“Your outer journey may contain a million steps;
your inner journey has one: The step you are taking right now.
As you become more aware of this one step,
you realize that it already contains within itself all the other steps as well as the destination.
This one step then becomes transformed into an expression of perfection,
an act of great beauty and quality.
It will have taken you into being,
and the light and the being will shine through it.
This is both the purpose and fulfillment of your inner journey,
the journey into yourself.”
~~Eckhart Tolle
“If we can really understand the problem,
the answer will come out of it,
because the answer is not separate from the problem.”
~~J. Krishnamurti
When you write books you also have a lot of books.
But I don’t “own” the books others write,
they just pass through my hands temporarily,
and I then lend them out.
Still, some of my collection are special.
If you have a special one and intend to loan it out,
but eventually want it returned to you—
Wrap cotton string around it and knot it while saying the Wicca spell:
“By hill and wind
by flame and brook,
by shining moon and sea,
I place a bind
upon this book
that it return to me”
It is near Halloween. My favorite fun fright night of the year. When adults act like kids, and kids have fun. BOO!!!
