Thoughts:
If thoughts could kill (which they can't) --
if thoughts could injure (which they can,
but only the thinker).
Thoughts.

 

 

There is a certain creature (by some reports, naturally placid) which,
the more you try to tether it, the more determinedly it seems to struggle.

Fresh Definition:
Man's Routine Mental Activity:
The continual re-proving of an experiment that failed.

A certain man went to see the village priest (on the weekend, when he wasn't on duty,
and thus not obliged to mouth the party line) and asked him,
"What can be learned
from the death of another?"
And the temporarily relaxed one gazed off at some clouds and replied,
"Take a tuna salad sandwich and go stand next to the body a week after death."
The man thought about this, then said, "Perhaps I'll just come see you on Monday," then left.

One man used to amuse, if not amaze and impress, himself
by doing several things at the same time.
As his understanding has changed, his aim now is to do but
a single thing, fully focused, single minded, totally attentive.

In the lives of men reaching escape velocity, it becomes difficult to gauge
progress by expressible standards...gets slippery trying to say "what's what"
in a world where words have lost their illusionary meaning.
