A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you . . . Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself alone, one question . . . Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use. 

Carlos Castaneda

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour.

William Blake

A DIVINE INVITATION:

that narrows down all our choices to just two:

We may come to God dressed for dancing

or

Be carried on a stretcher to God’s ward

Hafiz

Happy New (Lunar) Year's Eve !

  To wandering and falling

through gravity's lessons

as often as you do...

near such time and space

 of flying like a serpent

 with wings

 across another field

 of fresh powder--awaiting a

 blue Sea's limitless tide.

still...

Learning with more frequency that being naive is meaningless,

 if you are lucky with the green people and perfectly burnt toast.

The Answer to the previous spout out of me : executives and politicians too often understand so little, about this poem written by a monk, honoring Kuan Yin's grace and wisdom.

75 THE WRONG WAY UP It’s not a good idea to climb a mountain with a tiger, You’re wobbly, you’re nervous, every move you make is tense Suddenly something you remember could help you now – And if you do what you learnt then you won’t fall foul.

Offered with a sense to ask a few when decision makers are nervous as a result of too many misconceptions scattered, who really bears the burden ?

"Snow has been falling like crazy the last couple of days and the weather forecast is currently calling for 14-25 inches of fresh powder to fall tonight."  Cheers 1 - and smile.
