Stone Cold Wisdom


Stone Cold Wisdom

Never Let Yesterday
Use up too Much of Today! 

This bit of 'stone cold wisdom' that came off 
studying a slab of marble made me laugh. 

I hope this bit of silliness puts a smile on your face too!


Ponder The Problem 

Take your time to consider the problem.


Give it the Smell Test

Consider what's really going on...
what's at the core of the issue?

What smells like the right way to go?


Be Kind, Doggone it!

Find ways to kiss and make up,
extend a hand, or forgive a loved one.

Choose to put your best foot forward.


Sleep On It

Don't rush to judgment.
Give yourself time for heated emotions to calm down.
Things are always clearer after sleeping on it.



If You Find Yourself in a Hole,
Stop Digging

"It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble,
It's what we know that ain't so."

Will Rogers

Give yourself time for the TRUTH to come forth.


Hide

Sometimes avoidance is the best solution!


SHUT UP!

Sometimes running our mouth is the problem. 
When in doubt, shut it!


Stay Calm

Never let yesterday
use up too much of today.

Find a solution and move on.



The Best Advice

Do the Best You Can.

When in doubt, go fishing.

And....Always, Always Avoid Advice Set in Stone!


đź’“Thanks to my sister-in-law and fellow artist, Lee, who kindly keeps me in constant supply of photos to look into and see what's there...'as clear as the nose on my face'. Lee sent the photo of the slab of marble they were considering for a kitchen counter. I found the advice set in stone....

Lightarted Living: I Think I Shall Never See a Poem Lovely as a Tree

Lightarted Living: I Think I Shall Never See a Poem Lovely as a Tree: "I think that I shall never see  A poem lovely as a tree." "A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed  Again...

I Think I Shall Never See a Poem Lovely as a Tree



"I think that I shall never see 
A poem lovely as a tree."


"A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed 
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;"



"A tree that looks at God all day, 
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;" 


"A tree that may in summer wear 
A nest of robins in her hair; "


Upon whose bosom snow has lain; 
Who intimately lives with rain. 

Poems are made by fools like me, 
But only God can make a tree. 


-Joyce Kilmer (December 6, 1886 – July 30, 1918)  



đź’“Thanks to my brother, Royce, for sharing this restful poem.

Dance Lightly on the Edges of Time




Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time 
like dew on the tip of a leaf. 

Rabindranath Tagore



Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, 
for I would ride with you upon the wind 
and dance upon the mountains like a flame! 

William Butler Yeats




Only when you drink from the river of silence 
shall you indeed sing. 

And when you have reached the mountain top, 
then you shall begin to climb. 

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, 
then shall you truly dance. 

Khalil Gibran

Accept 'What Is' to Suffer Less


"Accept what is.
Release what was.
Create what must be."

Andrea Balt, Rebelle Society




“We suffer because we want life 

to be different from what it is.

We suffer because 

we try to make pleasurable 

what is painful, 

to make solid what is fluid, 

to make permanent what is always changing.”

Sakyong Mipham



Accept What Is,
but leave space open in your heart
for the miracle of what is to be.


Say yes to the universe 

đź’›Accept everything life puts in front of you. 


đź’™Trust you can handle whatever life brings. 


đź’śBe confident and strong knowing 

All things seemingly good or bad work in your favor




đź’śThanks to Darlene the Owlđź’ś

who nests in Sue Flynn's barn

for letting me channel her

wisdom and for giving me the night vision 

to look for what's hidden in and around her.


đź’›And thanks to Sueđź’› 

for the stunning photo of Darlene

that gave me much pleasure playing with.

Let Life Flow



"Live as a river flows,
carried by the surprise
of its own unfolding."

John O'Donahue


“Let me not pray 
to be sheltered from dangers, 
but to be fearless in facing them;

let me not beg 
for the stilling of my pain, 
but for the heart to conquer it.”   

Rabindranath Tagore


"Life is a cycle, always in motion,
if good times have moved on
so will times of trouble!"

Indian Proverb



"The man who moved a mountain 
is the one who started taking away 
the small stones."

Old Chinese Proverb
