Saturday, January 26, 2008. Thought for the Day. It is better to love, than be right.". Tuesday, January 22, 2008. The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:. A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. A touch is a blow,. A sound is a noise,. A misfortune is a tragedy,. A joy is an ecstasy,. A friend is a lover,. A lover is a god,. And failure is death. Saturday, January 19, 2008. A fusion of black and white-. Readily accessible to the masses,. Is a painful conformity. View my...

Tuesday, March 11, 2008. 8220;If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

The Disquiet Mind: January 2009
http://thedisquietmind.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 5, 2009. Keep hearts, sage minds, take life as God has made it; it is a long trial, an incomprehensible preparation for an unknown destiny. This destiny, the true one, begins for man with the first step inside the tomb. In the meanwhile, love and suffer, hope and contemplate. Woe, alas! To him who shall have loved only bodies, form, appearances! Death will deprive him of all. Try to love souls; you will find them again.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Just A Click Away.

The Disquiet Mind: Burden vs. Load
http://thedisquietmind.blogspot.com/2008/11/today-when-i-was-dropping-benjamin-off.html
Thursday, November 20, 2008. Burden vs. Load. Today when I was dropping Benjamin off at school, my eyes caught sight of a mama walking her little cherub to class.

Anyway, the young mom noticed too and proceeded to grab the rung at the top of the pack, to lift it just enough so as to give him a much needed break from his burden. Our everyday...

The Disquiet Mind: playing in the breeze...
http://thedisquietmind.blogspot.com/2008/09/playing-in-breeze.html
Saturday, September 27, 2008. Playing in the breeze. True Joy is not in the grand gesture but in the consecration of the moment.". I can't remember exactly when I first realized I wanted to get a clothesline for my own backyard but it was fairly recently. It represented something peaceful to me. Of course I probably wouldn't take the time to hang every load, but I thought it would be cool to dry tablecloths and stuff that I had previously been throwing over our patio chairs.
