KNOCK,  KNOCK, 
WHO’S  HERE?

Make a statement, 
leave an impression, 
make a memory, 
create, imagine …. 
Ooooooopppps,  
I walked into the
wrong room. 
These are not 
my kind of people. 
But I guess I had 
to walk in here 
to find this out. 
I’ve done this before. 
Deja vue. I’m slow.

Thought for  Today 

"We must never undervalue any person. The worker does not like it when their work is disliked in their presence. Well, God is present everywhere and every person is God's work."

St. Francis de Sales

Thought for Today


 “Being bored is an insult to oneself.”

I  NEED  TIME 

It takes time to “Go figure!” 
It takes time to figure out 
just what happened - and 
then it takes time to go figure - 
if what I gathered -  is close 
to what might have happened. 
Much of life is a maze! Amazing. 
Bummer! But it the long run 
it takes time to peel away 
layers - to knock down walls - 
while new walls are being built.

 UNDER  THE  HOOD

Stuck in traffic ….
Looking for a parking spot ….
Trying to get in or out of a parking lot
just before Christmas …. in a rush ....
These are the moments we see
what’s under another’s hood ….
Otherwise we really don’t know
another – their language or
their patience points ….

INSTILL

One has to become quiet –
quite quiet - quite  still ….

One has to go off to the side -
step back – sit sideways –

before one can get to essences –
before one can see still points

in their soul. It’s then – when -
they have clarity, that they

can have the calm grace
called “stillness”  – "peace".

It’s then – right then - they might
realize instillness has happened.
