WE’RE  ALL  DEAF

100% of people are deaf.
We don’t listen to each other.
We don’t see, we don’t read the
other person’s sign language.
We miss the shoulder shrug.
We don’t see ourselves looking
at our watch when we want to run.
We don’t see the other’s eye,

the others hurt, the others sigh.
99.99% of communication is
non-verbal communication.
Unconscious talks to unconscious
and we’re unconscious.
When are going to finally make
our First Communion with each other.

Thought for the Day

TE  DEUM

“Not because of victories
I sing,
having none,
but for the common sunshine,
the breeze,
the largess of the spring.
Not for victory
but for the day’s work done
as well as I was able;
not for a seat upon the dais
but at the common table.”

HOW  AM  I DOING?  REALLY.

 

 

Good question ….

Do you really want to know?

How am I doing?

Do you want feelings?

Do you want facts?

Do you want “Uh oh’s!?”

Sometimes I don’t know!

Compared to what?

It all depends?

There’s money….

There’s relationships ….

There’s family ….

I zig zag.

I deny.

I lie.

Do I trust you if I tell you?

Did anyone bring up God?

What have others told you?

Thought for the Day:

“A gossip is someone who talks to you about others.
A bore is someone who talks about himself.
A brilliant conversationalist is one who keeps quiet
and lets you do all the talking.”

SURPRISE

 

Imagine all the surprises
in a playground full of kids,
or in a yellow bus on the highway,
or in kids who want to step up and sing?
Imagine.  Expect.  Accept.
Be ready: there are plenty of gifts
just waiting right in front of you. Amen.
