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.

Thought   for   Today  

“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.”

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.
