"Teach me the meaning of heaven and hell," the samurai barked. The monk opened his eyes. "I have no time for rudeness or silly questions." So goes the parable of The Monk and The Belligerent Samurai.
Here's a trio of proverbs weaved into a short poem. Don't lose hope-- the road leads somewhere you need to be. And don't be stunted by streams: choose simplicity; the shallowest spot, and cross over. Advice for life: You're right where you need to be.
Inspirational and humorous at the same time, this proverb is. Hope you find it a piece of good advice on this beautiful rainy day in May.
"Selma," said Mom, "don't forget to breathe." Today, I wish to tell you about a poignant piece of advice that came to me in the form of a decades-old memory. It envigorated me then and reliving it now has made me aware of the beautiful energy coursing through me--and you-- nothing short of amazing.
