Thoughts That Make You Think

I always enjoy reading anything that makes me ponder. Granted, nearly everything has that effect on me. These quotes, however, may also have that effect on you. Please feel free to comment with any quotations that you feel might add to this blog. If I agree, I might just make an edit! 

Ink smears, as thoughts sometimes do. -Terri Guillemets

And upside down in the earth a dead man walks upon my soles when I walk. -Bill Knott

We are asleep with compasses in our hands. -W.S. Merwin

We are never prepared for what we expect. -James A. Michener

You can owe nothing, if you give back its light to the sun. -Antonio Porchia

Take the so-called standard of living.  What do most people mean by "living"?  They don't mean living.  They mean the latest and closest plural approximation to singular prenatal passivity which science, in its finite but unbounded wisdom, has succeeded in selling their wives. -E.E. Cummings

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
-T.S. Eliot

Who Am I?

I am no one in particular. I am you. You are me. I am a part of everything connected to everything else. A universal web of energy connects our bodies, our countries, our world. We are connected, each of us, in a force so powerful that we can 'feel' emotion based on a strangers expression. We can hear laughter and find its force, magnetic. How beautiful this realization is to me. It is this connection which simultaneously disconnects us all. We pride ourselves in being original, the 'one of a kind' syndrome. We place ourselves in categorized classes based on our individuality. Ironic, don't you think? In the big scheme of things, does anything I say matter? Some days, I think not. Today, however, I think…Hell Yes.

So, who am I? I am whoever you believe me to be. After all, it is you that creates your reality. I am just another person walking around in a world that you've created. In essence, I am your creation and you, mine. Creepy, but interesting. What kind of people live in your world? When you answer that, you answer everything you need to know about who YOU are. If you don't like the answer you find, it's time to change your world.

Wishing you an "Aha!" moment, kind of day.
