Thought Play

PEBBLEWhat do you pack to pursue a dream,
and what do you leave behind?
-Sandra Sharpe
BOULDEREvery morning, every day, we leave our houses, not knowing if it will be for the last time, and we decide what we’ll take with us, what we’ll carry: how much integrity, how much truth-telling, how much compassion (in case somebody along the way may need some), how much arrogance, how much anger, how much humor, how much willingness to change or be changed, to grow and to be grown. How much faith and hope, how much love and gratitude—you pack these with your lunch and medications, your date book and your papers. Every day, we gather what we think we’ll need, pick up what we love and all that we so far believe, put on our history, shoulder our experience and memory, take inventory of our blessings, and we start walking toward morning.

    Nice button, thank you dear girl.
    Love and warm hugs,
    Paul.
    Bowled out…Is that a British slang term? I like it! I’m glad you liked that button Paul. It was the one and only website I did on that particular stumble upon. Thanks for the Thought Play my friend! *smiles*
