We can depend on the world
being
a perpetual surprise in perpetual motion.
And a perpetual invitation to create.

Is
While Eeyore frets…
and Piglet
hesitates…
and Rabbit calculates…
and Owl pontificates…
Pooh just is.

From the Editor's Computer
There's a story about precocious young girl
who was enthusiastically running up and down an aisle somewhere. Her exasperated mother finally made her sit
down and behave.
The girl sits down and says, "I may be
sitting, but inside I'm still running."
Are you outwardly acting in a certain manner
while inside you wish you were doing or being something else?
Are you doing something outwardly to conform
to someone else's plans while inside you are dreaming and doing something that
is meaningful only to you?
Are you outwardly projecting a certain image
in order to fit in somewhere while inside you are the total opposite of that
image?
Is it possible for you to bring the inner
you out into the open so you can live more authentically and true to your own
nature?

Here
Each place along the way
is
somewhere you had to be
in order to be here.

Forgive
Ultimately, there is nothing
to forgive,
because there’s nothing to judge
and no one to blame.

Faith
If you have enough faith
in
your own beliefs,
you’ll find that it’s impossible
to be offended by the
beliefs
and conduct of others.

Respond
It really doesn’t matter
which
way the wind blows
or what direction the current is moving.
What matters is how the sails
or rudder are
responding.

From the Editor's Computer
I want to know if you can be alone with
yourself and if you truly like the company you keep... - Oriah Mountain Dreamer
If you were able to met someone with your
exact personality, habits, quirks, spirit, and mannerisms, what would your
first impression be?
Would you be drawn to this person, or would
you be repelled?
Would you want to spend more time with this
person, or would you wish to get away from them as quickly as possible?
Would you be eager to introduce this person
to your friends, or would you want to avoid any further contact with them?
Would you be eager to converse with them, or
would you dread what they had to say?
While we usually spend many hours with other
people through jobs, community organizations, family and friends, the one and
only person we are always with 24/7 is ourselves.
No amount of work, parties, TV, online
games, Facebook, sleep, or whatever your favourite distraction may be, will
keep you from yourself. At some point in
your life, you will end up alone in a room with only you for company.
How will you react?
Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with
whether or not you are an introvert or an extrovert and prefer to be alone or
with other people.
Be totally honest...
If you don’t like being around you, why
would you expect others to like being around you?
When you are able to sit alone, enjoying
your own company and thoughts, then you can begin to share them with others.
When you become comfortable being truly
yourself, alone with yourself, then you start to draw others to you.
Become a person that others want to be
around! This is far and away the
greatest success secret in existence. A
man or woman who has become someone others want to be around holds the world by
the tail. – Andy Andrews

Imitate
When people are free
to do as
they please,
they usually imitate each other.

Path
Any path is only a path,
and
there is no affront
to oneself or to others,
in dropping it if that is what
your heart tells you.
