I was looking through the Healing Library for an old post.

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.

This is truly outstanding. Thank you E1 for sharing! i think we forget that we MUST close the door before opening the other or chaos ensues.

I needed this today.

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. I started looking inside and went NC October 15, 2010

This is great E1 :)

I love your literal translation of the door. It's really ironic to read this right now for me. I've been struggling with my life being a "closed door". My employee is on vacation this week and I usually work all day with my door shut, for privacy. But right now, the sun is shining and both my doors are wide open. But the A door is bolted shut, with an angry rottweiler in front of it :)

Michelle -

Don't laugh, but sometimes I even visualize that :) You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes!

I love this phrase because it is so true : I begin to realize that all I have is a series of present moments, and that once they pass they are gone forever.
