Like pain, stress should also be viewed as a warning. So if you are extremely tense and anxious, you should try to establish what is causing these horrible sensations. It might be your job, or your parents, or your marriage, or the unhappy clients you are having. Whatever it is, the chances are that your stressful feelings are telling you to make changes. If you don’t try to sort out the source of your stress, then learning how to manage it will only do half of the job.
The Tulip is, among flowers, what the Peacock is among birds. A Tulip lacks scent, a Peacock has an unpleasant voice. The one takes pride in its garb, the other in its tail.
“Of all God’s creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.”
– Mark twain
May Your love for me be
like
the scent of the evening seadrifting in
through a quiet windowso I do not have to run
or chase or fall
… to feel Youall I have to do
