Always liked the quote thread so I'm bringing it back. "The shaman knows that the soul’s urge toward beauty is not about perfect symmetry and mainstream approval. It is not about opening doors in business, or snagging the right mate, or fitting in at the A-list parties. The shaman knows that beauty is about opening doors to joy, snagging the moment, and fitting into your own life. She knows beauty is not something to buy. It is a path, a way of living and being in the world. The only path and the only way, if you want to keep dancing and singing." ~ Robin Rice

Too many cooks spoil the broth. Simple, but often true.

All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players Performers and portrayers Each anothers audience outside the gilded cage Living in the limelight, the universal dream For those who wish to see Those who wish to be Must put aside the alienation Get on with the fascination The real relation, the underlying theme song lyrics from Limelight by RUSH

Youth is wasted on the young. My mom said it all the time. Not sure where she got it.

well, you could tell your Mom, it's better to be young and wasted , that old and wise. oh but if I said that to my Mom, (gave her any lip), she'd wash my mouth out with a bar of soap!

“There are different wells within your heart. Some fill with each good rain, Others are far too deep for that. In one well You have just a few precious cups of water, That "love" is literally something of yourself, It can grow as slow as a diamond If it is lost. Your love Should never be offered to the mouth of a Stranger, Only to someone Who has the valor and daring To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife Then weave them into a blanket To protect you. There are different wells within us. Some fill with each good rain, Others are far, far too deep For that.” ? Hafez, Hafiz' Poems

"Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onward you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed " ~ E.Caddy ?

"Harmony sinks deep into the recesses of the soul and takes its strongest hold there, bringing grace also to the body & mind as well. Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order… " ~ Plato (429-347) They say math is the key to the universe, but I believe Music to be the key. Music = Vibrations. Just my take on it, but I adore Plato and the depths of his mind he had, was nothing short of brilliance.

"It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop!" And here's my favourite from Calvin & Hobbes: "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."
