Wisdom of the ages I have only begun to read this book and I am soo addicted to it. I was so exhausted the last few days that usually on days like these, I will go straight to bed without reading but because this book is so incredibly awesome, I somehow found the energy to take the book and read for at least 20 mins.This story is so simple and I am so blown away by it. I am only halfway but I was
This excerpt is from the excellent Tao Wow blogA master does not have to meditate, there is nothing to do. By contrast someone with much baggage has to learn to meditate first before finding any benefit. They must progress and with time get better at it, work through tough issues, battle on. It is tough for someone with a whole world seemingly against them; commitments, habits, plus a past that th

Sometimes offensive, sometimes gross, making you fall off your couch laughing, Barney Stinson is undeniably the center of attraction in the TV show ‘How I Met Your Mother’. And though I would detest any man like Barney in real life, however in TV land, this kind of outrageous sexist, politically incorrect Barneyisms equals a half hour of pure wit. Barney, always the master of the witty banter,
I had a heartfelt chat with my doctor yesterday and we came to the conclusion that a hysterectomy would be in my best interest, at this point. She has referred me to what she considers a phenomenal doctor and I'm waiting for him to call me to ask me some preliminary questions over the phone. She said they could get me in for my consult before Christmas! *EEK*! Well, I said no to that because I

Picture: "The Storyteller", by Howard Terpning "Knowledge was inherent in all things. The world was a library and its books were the stones, leaves, grass, brooks and the birds and animals that shared, alike with us, the storms and blessings of the earth. We learn to do what only the student of nature ever learns, and that is to feel beauty. We never rail at the storms, the furious winds, the biti
I love it when a plan comes together. But I also love a good paradox. I'm practically salivating at the thought of what I am going to be reading next: two books which, from the outset, seem almost diametrically opposed in thought, practice and attitude.

A bit of wisdom from Junior Asparagus:Life is supposed to be a party,But my hotdog fell out of its bun.Which is pretty much how I end up feeling when I forget that contentment is a decision to contain my desires rather than the fulfillment of them.

It occurs to me that many things in today’s world are seen over and over and over to a point where we don’t even seem to notice them anymore. I decided to tackle these very mundane things and bring them out into the limelight with my new bi-weekly segment entitled “Kristofer’s Words of Wisdom”.

I find running with my children a great opportunity to impart some motherly wisdom. This morning my son Jan rode his bike alongside me, and I pointed out all the lovely fall colors to him to which he dutifully nodded.

What is wisdom? How do you get to be wise? It's safe to say you don't get wise by just learning facts. No one considers people wise just because they took a course, learned a skill, or even got a degree. This simply earns you the title of educated. So what is wisdom and how do you get it?Wisdom is conceptual knowledge plus experience. You can learn how to ride a bike or drive a car conceptually. Y

It was such a racket and such a pounding noise that I heard, that I soberly told Abby, "Wait here, and

At those times I'm glad that, while Paul made a pretty sig
