quotes

here's a quote I read from igoogle

I know who I am. No one else knows who I am. If I was a giraffe, and someone said I was a snake, I'd think, no, actually I'm a giraffe. - Richard Gere

1. What was he smoking?
2. Was he smoking it with the Dali Lama?
3. Does the Dali Lama now he smokes this schnit?
4. If Richard Gere was a giraffe in snake suit, and fell in the forest, and no-one appeared at the preview of his latest movie; then what time would the second train arrive in Chicago?

But I digress. I'm all about Buddhism. Truly cool, peaceful, stuff. But I don't get it. Periodically I pick something up to read about it, and I just get totally lost. I think I'm just not smart enough to get it. Its like, "If the wind is blowing then why do the fish swim? the boy asked" "Because of the wind chimes tell us about the rocks". OK, I'm sure someone gets this somewhere. Me, not so much.

Now...........HERE'S A QUOTE FOR YA.

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. - Dorothy Nevill

Now that is cool proverbial powerful wisdom there. I say this because I am all about the tempting moment. I have a gift for saying the wrong thing at the wrong moment, but well. What a beautiful articulate way to address leaving that alone which is best unsaid. Me, I'm all, "Hey look the Emperor is Naked" amidst the hush's and horrors. If there is a 500 pound Gorilla sitting quietly in the mist of a living room somewhere, I am Dianne Fossey. I am synonymous with blush, and have started many a tale with, " So then John says..........."

Have a good weekend.

It is the stolen quiet moments with our children that answer so many questions and quench the thirst that is our existence.
