Thought  for  Today 

“We never heard the devil’s side of  the  story.  God wrote  all the book.”

Anatole France

[1844-1924]

French writer

CORRIDOR

Here we are going down - different corridors -
like mice in a maze - hoping to find the rooms 

we think will have the answers we're looking for. 
Surprise! The surprise is in the corridors of life. 
It's in the least expected places of life. It's when
and where we meet unknown parts of ourselves.

It's when we begin to hear the music of others – 

the music of the unknown. It's when we open up

our minds. It's when we open up our eyes. It's when

we open up our ears. It's when we start to listen to 
what we weren't expecting – the unknow music within -

as well as the sweet sacred music of others.

“An  education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you  know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don’t.”

Self-Test # 28

HONESTLY

“Honestly,….”

Why do we say that?

Why do we sometimes add that?

Is it because of emphasis,

or because sometimes

we know - really down deep -

we haven’t paused enough to ponder,

“What is the truth here?”

Honestly?

Didn’t someone famous say,

“And the truth will set you free”?

Honesty!

And several people add

comments like,

“But first it will hurt,”

or “make us miserable,”

or "cost us".

Honestly.
