Everything comes to pass, nothing comes to stay
Streams of thought today....
The Ego is an exquisite instrument. Enjoy it, use it--just don't get lost in it.
We cannot put off living until we are ready. The most salient characteristic of life is its coerciveness; it is always urgent, "here and now" without any possible postponement. Life is fired at us point-blank.
The passing moment is all that we can be sure of; it is only common sense to extract the utmost value from it; the future will one day be the present and will seem as unimportant as the present does now.
There are those people that you can tell approximately when in their life they congealed.
There are others who are growing and constantly making new trysts with life.
We must constantly be on guard against congealing.
Let go of your attachment to the outcome.
It is easy to be the person you have always been, for it requires no change, no self-reflection, and no growth. It may appear that changing yourself requires giving up something. In reality, there is no need to give up anything--you must simply add to what has been.
One word of explanation already misses the mark.
Opinion has caused more trouble on this earth than all the plagues and earthquakes.
Ours is a world where people don't know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.

Thanks for your words of encouragement on my own blog. We share many interests from fundraising for education to The Electric Acid Kool-aid Test, which I had forgotten was a favorite book while I was a teen. I enjoyed your streams of thought. Is "we cannot put off living...life is fired at us point blank" attributed to anyone else or did it come from you?
