One leaf and two sweet cherries can be exchanged for one fake watch.

Leave the sales pitch to others, unless you make what you sell – or you know it well.

That was the wisdom we gathered at a three month intensive “get-to-know-you” workshop.

Learning how to learn is clearly a valuable thing!

I suggest we sell the vapors to the planet of refuse and recycling.

We want clear cool water, crisp lettuce and red cabbage with a zucchini vinegar-laced side dish.

Talk of lacing takes us to shoes. Just as selective. No side dish but either bright color casuals or well-shined leather brogues, rogues, and pumps.

Well…it is Friday!

In the back room of your mind, the echo chamber of what you hear, the memory of what you see.

Every day one thing must be on all our lists of action – take a minute to think. Thinking for oneself is like eating fresh food, whereas absorbing the spouting of trumpeting tenors is just folly, junk-food for the mind.

Adjusting and meandering.

In a new town it seems to be a very good way to get to know the place – to meander without adhering to route, map or plan. You discover things that way. It’s fun and you learn at the same time.

After that outing adjustment may be the gear to get into.

Same is OK. New is eye-opening and energizing. Both can be done from the seat of your own room to some degree.

From another continent, the view is different.

There it was, the two balloon symphony, floating above the ocean.

Which ocean though….theirs, ours, all of ours?

Soon it was clear. Beyond everything there is physics, within everything there is physics. But that is further ahead, more advanced than where we are now.

One day, sooner than expected, we will understand and more to the point for some, be able to explain the outline of how Everything Is Connected.

By the way, it’s a Good thing!
