Though close be your aim to the bull's-eye fame,
There are those who will never admit it.

a time for repose and contemplation.

We return thanks to our mother,
the earth, which sustains us.
We return thanks to the rivers and streams
which supply us with water.
We return thanks to all herbs, which furnish medicines
for the cure of our diseases.
We return thanks to the corn, and to her sisters,
the beans and squashes, which give us life.
We return thanks to the bushes and trees,
which provide us with fruit.
We return thanks to the wind,
which, moving the air, has banished diseases.
We return thanks to the moon and the stars,
which have given us their light when the sun was gone.
We return thanks to our grandfather He-no,
that he has protected his grandchildren from witches and reptiles,
and has given us his rain.

in whom is embodied all goodness,
and who directs all things for the good of his children.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Most people think that anger is an instinctive response,
and that some people were just born with the temperament
to get angrier faster than others.
That statement is only half right.
Anger is an instinctive response.
We respond to an affront with anger essentially instantaneously -
much too quickly for conscious thought to be called upon.
But the instinct of the anger response
can be trained through conscious repetition,
visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

From the way most people live,
one would never guess that humans are beings of free will.
Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn't.
The athlete or pianist who practices the same routine
day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal.
The unending repetition is a conscious choice
in the pursuit of a life dream.
But what about the sameness of most lives?
Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink,
the Sunday football game or religious service -
how many of those people are consciously following their dream,
training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?
And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day
out of habit and boredom?
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane.
You'd wake up in a concert and think,
Wow, how did I get here?

Minds are like parachutes.
They only function when they are open.

A person without a sense of humor
is like a wagon without springs.
It's jolted by every pebble on the road.

We give our own meaning to time as to life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.

Life is like a game of cards.
The hand you are dealt is determinism;
the way you play it is free will.

it may be an amusing diversion but
it has no chance for a satisfying conclusion.
