My thought for Sunday June 13, 1999:
"A man on a journey came upon a fork in the road. He could not decide whether to go left, right or turn back the way he had come. He set up camp while he tried to make his decision. After some time, he built a small hut, still unsure which path to take. A woman travelling the same path, also unsure which direction to take, joined him in his hut. The hut became a cabin, the cabin a house. Their children also could not decide which path to follow, and built their own houses at the fork in the road. They each married travellers who passed by. The growing family built a small inn and everyone in the family contributed their skills to it's maintenance. They lived modest but happy lives, each child in turn became a parent and grandparent. Eventually, the original man, who had so long ago set up his camp at the fork in the road, died. At his funeral, his eldest son presided. Now an old man himself, he looked around at his father's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren gathered about the grave, marvelling at the scope of what his father had wrought. He realised that his father, who had always spoken with good humoured bitterness of his inability to decide which path to take, had created his own path. He had never understood that by simply not choosing one path over another, he had made the most important decision of his life."
My thought for Saturday June 12, 1999:
"The term, 'Soul Searching' implies the lack of a soul. No one ever speaks of 'Soul Finding.' What does that imply?"
My thought for Friday June 11, 1999:
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely; beware of perfect love."
My thought for Thursday June 10, 1999:
"If you never answer a question, then can you be assured that you haven't made the wrong choice."
My thought for Wednesday June 9, 1999:
"All organised religions teach moderation in all things, except religion itself. One who believes fervently in anything misses the whole point."
My thought for Tuesday June 8, 1999:
"To seek the profound is to discover only the mundane."
My thought for Monday June 7, 1999:
"All that is is very small; anyone can carry it all inside of a neuron."
My thought for Sunday June 6, 1999:
"That which is, is. That which is not, is as well."
My thought for Saturday June 5, 1999:
"The deepest of thoughts skip lightly across the surface."
My thought for Friday June 4, 1999:
"Thought becomes action; action becomes completion; to complete an act is its death; thought leads inevitably to death. Life is the absence of thought."
My thought for Thursday June 3, 1999:
"There is only one absolute: there are no absolutes; even this is not absolute."
My thought for Wednesday June 2, 1999:
"Past and future are abstract concepts, the present only slightly less so."
My thought for Tuesday June 1, 1999:
"Never try to find yourself. What you find is never that which you think you seek, only what you already are. To seek that which was never lost is a waste of that which is."
