Pensées diverses ...

Barn's burnt down...
Now I can see the moon

"The Pessimist complains about the wind, the Optimist expects it to change and the REALIST adjusts his sails" -William Arthur Ward

Like water, be gentle and strong. Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth, and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world. By Brenda Peterson

There was a woman who insisted that she wanted to know everything. So, she went to a Zen Master in Tibet (of course) where a monk brought her books and books every day. Each time he said, "Do you know everything yet?" She replied that she didn't and the monk hit her over the head with a stick. This went on for months. Finally, when the monk went to hit her for the hundredth time on the hundredth day, she reached up and stopped the cane in mid-air. He said to her, "Congratulations! You now know you can't know everything but you know how to stop the pain." Life 101.

Pour le mourant, lorsque la vie n’est plus un bien, la mort n’est plus un mal. Yvon Bureau
