Thoughtful tonight...

I said goodby to half a million friends in one of my fuck books the other day. I'll never see them again without tearing the pages open...

You know, that's one of the nicest complements I've had for ages. I wish it were true. Unfortunately I'm straight and salty.
 
random thoughtfulness

I used to think that I could save the world.
I found out I had to save myself first.
Now I just try to feel compassion for all the people I can't feed or shelter or heal.
I try to do my best to be earth friendly and enjoy what is around me.
I can't justify all those commercials telling me about all the staving children when I can barely take care of my own family while living in the richest nation of the world, a nation that is ready to spend billions of dollars rebuilding countries we've destroyed.
I think I may be bitter at times.

I think it's time to go and play with my inner child.

What is a fuck book? I have too many books, but not one fuck.

Perdita

Oh how witty...hehehehe

My books don't fuck either...must be going to
the wrong book store.

So if the mind is like a temple and has many rooms.
So does a Sky Scraper on the elevator, I go zoom.

covers and tales...when Im at the book store I

And If my thought is like a train that carrys

caboose do?...hehehehe

Today the London Marathon is run by literally many thousands of people, also invalids participate in their racing wheelchairs.

Although I could only sadly watch it on TV, it was still a wonderful sight to behold, small though the image was.

I couldn’t help but ponder: “Where are they all running to, all these men and women and invalids?” The answer is Buckingham Palace, our proud monument to the Royal Family. But isn’t that what you and I, in our small rooms with TV’s are also doing? Running, not literally but metaphorically, to Buckingham Palace?


 
Most of the runners are raising money for charity - for others less fortunate. That is love in action.

Hear hear!

Good on every single one of them, especially the nutters who run the 26.2 miles in chicken suits and the like.

Thanks lou and og, I never understood. I thought the suits were some kind of handicap system.
 
I only run when chased.

But if the person chasing me is cute and female, I usually let them catch me.
 

"I behold the universe in a grain of sand", said old Newton, holding in his hand a tiny grain of sand. I ponder his words, this wise old man who was born near Cambridge in England, which is part of Britain, this puny island, by no means the world's largest.

I think what he was saying is that he could see the universe in a grain of sand. "behold" is another word for "see".

This only makes it even more amazing. Imagine this old white haired man, dead now of course, holding a grain of sand from the beach by the English sea, or possibly by the river Cam which is in Cambridgeshire. Incredible? Yet it's a true story.

 
I am humbled, Joe. I use sand in my potting soil, ever so nonchalantly. I'm going to stare at my plant dirt now. It may take a while, but I want to behold too. P.
 
Lmao~

floor an grain of sand...pondering...
 

Socrates has just been released from his chains to talk to his friends for a few moments, before he is put to death.

Socrates sat up on the bed and massaged it, saying as he did so, 'What a queer thing it is, my friends, this sensations which is popularly called pleasure! It's remarkable how closely it's connected with its apparent opposite, pain.
They will never come to a man both at once, but if you pursue one of them and catch it, you are virtually compelled always to have the other as well; they're like two bodies attached to the same head...that's exactly what's happening to me: because I had a pain in my leg from the fetter, the pleasure seems to have come as a consequence of it'.

-- Plato - Phaedo

For those of us with vision impairment, it gives sand in the eye a whole new meaning.

It is quite profound nonetheless.

Thanks Joe, for the quiet contemplation. I'll meditate on it.:rose:
