Day 3: On action and reciprocity
"Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law"
-Thelema
"One going to take a pointed stick to pinch a baby bird should first try it on himself to feel how it hurts."
-Yoruba
Of course, leave it to George Bernard Shaw to come up with this twist:
"Do not do unto others as you would that...

Day 2 of heady proverbs, expressions, concepts, and comments.
"The Aneristic Principle is that of ORDER, the Eristic Principle is that of DISORDER. On the surface, the Universe seems (to the ignorant) to be ordered; this is the ANERISTIC ILLUSION. Actually, what order is "there" is imposed on primal chaos in the same sense that a person's name is draped over his actual self. It...

A RAW fan? Nice.
I'm not sure how long this will last, but I think I will dedicate this week's journal entries to proverbial sayings (definitely with no intentions of making you wretch).
She who overcomes others is strong; she who overcomes herself is mighty.
-Taoism
Difficult to conquer is one's self. But when that is conquered, everything is conquered.
-Jainism
For what is a man profited, if he...

Don't worry, you won't bore me. I love philosophy and religious discourse. Here are some gems of wisdom from less acknowledged sources:
"Never think you've seen the last of anything."
-Eudora Welty
"Never do anything yourself that others can do for you."
-Agatha Christie
"Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the tests first."
-Patsy Cline
"When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So that the hell, leap." -Cynthia Heimel
And one that I am feeling quite personally these days: "The trouble with some women is they get all excited over nothing ... and then they marry him." -Cher
P.S. I never heard of Satina Saturnina before. I'll have to check them out.
I've heard that Ottawa is very dull. It's the capital, what can you expect? Can't you go to Toronto or Montreal to party?
Cheers!

When it comes to the green, I was pretty damn chronic over the last 15 years - morning to night. Unfortunately, and yet fortunately, due to some surgery for a hernia in February, I finally let the addiction go (at least the chronic usage thereof). One of the bonuses that I had long looked forward to, was the return of clear and remembered dreaming. The...

Sure add me. I already snuck you on my list.
I don't have any gram on the vinyl. Wish I did but I've never been able to find some. I have some Emmylou records I stole from my dad.
When my stomach acts up I don't get much sleep so I haven't had any dreams as of late.
I just noticed Candide on your book list. It's a big fav at my place too. We even named the cat Candide.
Are you in Montreal? My friend goes to McGil and it sounds like such a great city.

Did you get my email? Have a good sunday.....
As if it isn't hard enough keeping a journal for oneself, now SG wants one kept for multiple viewers. Yeeesh. For that matter, if you have friends that are actually GOOD writers, it always leaves one thinking their own wrtiting is just a tad barren. Ah well, in an effort to keep up with the Jones', here goes...
