Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Thank you Richard. I didn't mean any harm. Sam - Richard Thursday, November 02, 2006 10:40 AM Re: Scratching the top of the head.. Hi Sam, Having been diagnosed with cancer, aneurysms, and other stuff, I find it difficult to sympathise with your annoyances. I suggest you lead an honest life, don't park where you shouldn't or lie and connive. And count your blessings and be a blessing to others.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Quite understandable, but from my perspective, the focus was not on sympathy, but on gratitude and wonder, however humble that experience might be. (Similar to "counting your blessings") I guess it's all a matter of perception.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Sam, I think most of us read your email as without harm--lighthearted and appreciative.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Dear Jill, Thanks for being here. Here is one of your favorite poems by *Emily Dickinson.* *You'll know it--as you know 'tis Noon-- *You'll know it -- as you know 'tis Noon -- By Glory -- As you do the Sun -- By Glory -- As you will in Heaven -- Know God the Father -- and the Son. By intuition, Mightiest Things Assert themselves -- and not by terms -- "I'm Midnight" -- need the Midnight say -- "I'm Sunrise" -- Need the Majesty? Omnipotence -- had not a Tongue -- His lisp -- is Lightning -- and the Sun -- His Conversation -- with the Sea -- "How shall you know"? Consult your Eye!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Wow, Harsha, You have an amazing memory. It was maybe 6 or 7 years ago that I asked someone here what poem that middle part was from--'by intuition, Mightiest Things...' I was going to use it on the syllabus for a painting course. Thanks for the gift. Jill On Nov 2, 2006, at 4:01 PM, Harsha wrote: > Dear Jill, > > Thanks for being here.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Thanks for this Jill. I thought this morning of writing a letter of apology to Harsha and the list for that silly post. By the way, for followers of the mysterious ways of karma. The phone did die again... this time for good. And when I went back to the Parking Service the nice man who asked me to bring the ticket in was not there. Thanks for the Peace wishing and the same to all creatures.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hi Richard And so you have been given the gift of equanimity through your trials and tribulations. It seems to me that there really is no other way in which to gain this "perspective". We all wish we could endow others with the wisdom that life has taught us, and we wish we could somehow absorb the wisdom of others without having to outlive our own ignorance, but one thing our children teach us is that this can never be so. But of course, as I'm demonstrating here, we never quite give up trying. Hehe. Respectfully rambling, Phil In a message dated 11/3/2006 9:24:22 P.M.
