Robert Brault: Brimming Over with Whimsical Wisdom

"Doing one fool thing after another is not so terrible 

when you consider the human proclivity 

to do several fool things at once."

Robert Brault

"One is more apt to become wise 

by doing fool things than by reading wise sayings."

Robert Brault

“Life becomes easier when you learn 

to accept an apology you never got.”

Robert Brault

"My advice?  Learn to judge your actions 

on what you knew at the time--

or else learn to act at the time on what you know now."

Robert Brault

Rumi: You are the Universe in Ecstatic Motion

Why should I be unhappy?

Every parcel of my being is in full bloom. 

Rumi

Everyone has been made for some particular work,

and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

Rumi

Forget safety.

Live where you fear to live.

Destroy your reputation.

Be notorious.

Rumi

When you do things from your soul,

you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

Rumi

Stop acting so small.

You are the universe

in ecstatic motion. 

Rumi

Ralph Waldo Emerson: The Earth Laughs in Flowers--But Why?

The earth laughs in flowers...

But what are they laughing about?

We think we own the earth, but the earth knows 

It is she who owns and rules us. LOL!

She endures long after we're gone.

Why Emerson says the Earth Laughs in Flowers

The Earth Song 

        ‘Mine and yours;

        Mine, not yours.

        Earth endures;

        Stars abide—

        Shine down in the old sea;

        Old are the shores;

        But where are old men?

        I who have seen much,

        Such have I never seen.

        ‘They called me theirs,

        Who so controlled me;

        Yet every one

        Wished to stay, and is gone,

        How am I theirs,

        If they cannot hold me,

        But I hold them?’

Why the Earth Laughs in Flowers

“I have now given you a summary account of the sovereigns of the earth.—These and other kings who with perishable frames have possessed this ever-during world, and who, blinded with deceptive notions of individual occupation, have indulged the feeling that suggests ‘This earth is mine,—it is my son’s,—it belongs to my dynasty,’—have all passed away. 

So, many who reigned before them, many who succeeded them, and many who are yet to come, have ceased or will cease to be. 

Earth laughs, as if smiling with autumnal flowers to behold her kings unable to effect the subjugation of themselves." 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Get Busy Living~and Laugh with the Flowers

'Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild

air.'   Ralph Waldo Emerson

 'Write it on your heart that 

every day is the best day in the year.'

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 'Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.'

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life Dealt You a Blow? Don't Belittle Yourself, Be BIG Yourself

'Your problem is you're too busy holding onto your unworthiness.' 

Ram Dass

Life Dealt You a Blow? 

When life deals you a blow sit in it until you're ready to move on. When you're ready, dig deep to get out of the fear and self-doubt immobilizing you. 

Rediscover your ability to ask for help as you pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Our strength comes from both accepting help from others as well as from taking action. It takes a BIG person to ask for help and also to step into action when they're full of fear and self-doubt. Find your BIG self.

Move confidently~with strength and conviction~in the direction of your dreams one step at a time.

Let it go and move on

'Don't belittle yourself. 

Be BIG yourself.'

Listen Carefully: Everything True and Good we Learn from Dogs

Ralph Waldo Emerson Speaks

Ralph Waldo Emerson Speaks

Meet Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Dog--a larger than life being with a big personality who graces the lives of my good friend, Sally and her family. Emerson is a dog with impeccable social manners--making everyone who visits feel welcome and part of the pack. He plays the welcoming host during your visit--sitting or walking alongside you to assure your comfort and safety--until your departure.

With his amicable, easy-going and unflappable manner Ralph Waldo Emerson greets you when you arrive with an enthusiastic tail wag and a look deep into your eyes that says 'I see you and know you're here to be seen. Come. Sit. Stay'. 

When I first met this playful but gentle giant I immediately envisioned his human namesake's words of wisdom coming from Emerson the dog and this is what lead me down the path of seeking quotes--especially from Ralph Waldo Emerson--worthy of emanating from humankind's best friends.  

Be Still~Listen carefully to the teachings of Ralph Waldo Emerson the dog and what your dogs want you to know. Watch and learn.

Emerson on the road less traveled

Ralph Waldo Emerson contemplates 
the universe and shares his world view

Otter says, 'Ooh La La~mais oui!'

Emma says 'Dig Deep!'

Arrow says,🎵 'How to handle a doggie? 

There's a way said a wise old dog. 

The way to handle a doggie

 is to love him, simply love him🎵.'

Emerson says, 'Show me'.

Arrow says, 'Love you to the moon and back!'

Cassius Clay says, 'Get yourself a chunk of hunk to love on, Winnie!'
