Choose your moment

Before you lecture a thirsty person,

give them water.

Nature does what nature does

Either tortoises live long lives because they don’t hurry

or they don’t hurry because they live long lives.

Don't join the inflexible

If you’re rigid in your thinking,
you’re not really thinking.

Remote

When you channel surf

take care that your mind

doesn’t drown.

Inertia

When all the things you need to do
remain
all the things you need to do.

To progress

Chip away

at a wall

until it becomes

a stepping stone.

Regarding telepathy

I’m in more than two minds about it.

The weather inside

Sometimes your thinking can make you cry,

sometimes your crying can make you think.

Consider this

You can rest

in the shade of a tree,

but not

in the shade of an axe.

My zen answer

You get a grip

when you

let go.

Regarding inertia

As long as you sit on your hands

you won't be able

to applaud yourself.

The word "if" is a seesaw waiting for you to approach it

(for Marty Grothe)

If pigs could fly

there’d be

less bacon.

If you were a bully at school,

don’t be one now.

If you keep having flings,

one day you’ll be flung.

If you’re digging your own grave,

consider what you’re using

as the shovel.

If God exists

we must appal him sometimes.

If time is money

some of us

will end up short-changed.

If you think you know everything,

try writing poems.
