Wisdom of the Ages

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape.

• If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
• If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.

Arrogance is a kingdom without a crown

Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.
~Sidney J. Harris

Where would we be without such amusing diversions? While sanity may be soothing, this madness makes the day more delightful.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

Dammit.

Ring out the old; Ring in the New

New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.
~Hamilton Wright Mabie

If we're fools whether we dance or not, then we might as well dance... so get out there and dance my lovelies!

Blessings of Light...

May all the joys of the season be yours...
and may there be peace and light in the coming year.

Whatever you're celebrating, may it be happy, healthy, and safe.

See you next year.

When I dare to be powerful -- to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

Affirmations

I love my strange beauty and amazing pain
I love my hungry soul and entertaining games
I love my flaws, my gaps, my fears
I love my mysterious, dazzling frontiers

I will never forsake, betray or deceive myself
I will always adore, forgive and believe in myself
I will never refuse, abandon or scorn myself
I will always amuse, delight and redeem myself

Beauty and truth and love will always find me
Chaos and wilderness will always sustain me
I'm the fire and water and earth and air that are forever fresh from eternity
I'm a perfect creation and everything alive is naturally in love with me

from Pronoia is the Antidote for Paranoia, by Rob Brezsny

You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
