3 quotations that inspire me are

“Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.” (St Francis de Sales) “We are cluttered with images and only abstract art can bring us to the threshold of the divine.” (Dominique de Menil) “We all have an essential self, but if you spend every day chopping up meat on a slab, and selling it by the pound, soon you’ll find you’ve become a butcher. And if you don’t want to become a butcher (and why would you?), you’re going to have to cut right through to the bare bones of your own character in the hope of finding out who you really are. Which bloody hurts.” (Russell Brand)

I would like to be remembered for

changing the world

Asleep (the Smiths), , Amy’s Song (Switchfoot). NO Amazing Grace

I can just BE and yet be complete by

smoothing the worry lines, smiling, and thinking.

I can live a fulfilled life by

getting rid of the dross! Life is better with fewer belongings. All I own can be fit into 3 suitcases and a couple of boxes, but it’s too much. Get rid of the stuff, and the weight of life immediately lessens. Then I can get out into the world with nary a care and celebrate.

To be content with my life I have to

remember how blessed I already am.

I am on this earth to

change it through pacifism & person-to-person support.

eleven. Think about it. With no 11, there’d be no wish time, no elevenses…the world would be a far less quixotic place.

To live life to the full I

change directions every few years.
