“It's a funny thing about life, 

once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, 

you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.”

A Memorial Day Tribute...

Today in the United States we are celebrating Memorial Day (formerly known as Decoration Day). It commemorates all men and women who have died in military service for the United States.  Below is a link to a video of a Brooklyn, NY Decoration Day parade taken many years ago by my father, who was a veteran of World War II.

Because now is now. It can never be a long time ago.

On the last page of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s book, The Little House in the Big Woods, she writes of an evening in the cabin with her family, her father playing the fiddle, her mom knitting in a rocking chair. “She thought to herself, ‘This is now.’ She was glad that the cozy house, and Pa and Ma and the firelight and the music, were now. They could not be forgotten, she thought, because now is now. It can never be a long time ago.”

Wisdom from a famous Beatle

"All there is ever is the NOW." 

“It's being here now that's important. 

There's no past and there's no future. 

Time is a very misleading thing. 

All there is ever is the now. 

We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it, 

and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.” 

George Harrison

Wise words from an Ancient Chinese Philosopher  

“If you understand others you are smart. 

If you understand yourself you are illuminated.

If you overcome others you are powerful. 

If you overcome yourself you have strength.

If you know how to be satisfied you are rich. 

If you can act with vigor, you have a will.  

If you don't lose your objectives you can be long-lasting.

If you die without loss, you are eternal.” 

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Did you buy your ticket yet?

“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride…

and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well…

maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: 

Tune in, freak out, get beaten.” 

Hunter S. Thompson
