ponder on this

it's october - cooling off here in the south

hallowe'en is coming - full moon is on the wane - still bright

been having trouble sleeping (probably need more B vitamins, less caffeine)

too many thoughts jolt me awake:
financial worries
healthcare issues
death & taxes
the end of the world as we know it
(song plays here - name of group? michael stipe's band... memory problems, too, apparently)

what to do?
can't make a living making jewelry or note cards or bookmarks or christmas ornaments

not much employment out there - "six months experience" - "must know CPT codes" - "work from home, make 1,000's of dollars" - c'mon, one thousands of dollars working from home?

anyway, two college degrees and no job, no career, no future...
well, i'll find something, somewhere, somehow

meanwhile, it's comforting to know that someone else has all the answers (yeah, right)

for a "deep" and meaningful read, try to find a copy of "Ponder On This" by Djwhal Kuhl (from the writings of Alice A. Bailey) published by Lucis Press - everything from A to Z in this tome - from Ancient Mysteries to Detachment to Glamour to the Moon to Wisdom to the Zodiac

Here are a few things from the Tibetan master's "Food for Thought" chapter:

"Let your horizon be wide and your humility great."

ok - here's a good one:
"Be not afraid of lonliness. The soul that cannot stand alone has naught to give."

and my favorite:

"At the center of a great tornado is a point of peace. And thus it is with all the storms of life. They lead to peace if you are not a leaf."

actually, that's one of my favorite quotes - the other one is from french authoress George Eliot:
"It's never too late to be what you might have been." that was a sign on the subway back in the late 80s, early 90s - i think it was an ad for NYU...

i've been trying to download some really cool clip art images but apparently this blog software will accept every other format but not .tif - oh well - i'll have to ask someone about that

ok - it's 2 am - that's it for me - give peace a chance - g'night - tjb
