  • The Ancient One

    The Ancient One says

    A Bird came down the Walk



    A Bird came down the Walk—
    He did not know I saw—
    He bit an angle-worm in halves
    And ate the fellow, raw,

    And then he drank a Dew
    From a convenient Grass,
    And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
    To let a Beetle pass—

    He glanced with rapid eyes
    That hurried all abroa—
    They looked like frightened Beads, I thought—
    He stirred his velvet head

    Like one in danger, Cautious,
    I offered him a Crumb,
    And he unrolled his feathers
    And rowed him softer home—

    Than Oars divide the Ocean,
    Too silver for a seam—
    Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon,
    Leap, splashless as they swim.

    - Emily Dickinson

    I need to know if you’re my true friend,
    will you be by my side until the end?
    Can I tell you my secrets deep,
    and trust them in your heart you’ll keep?
    We are neither of us without our flaws,
    can you accept mine as I will yours?
    I’ll be a shoulder to cry on when you’re blue,
    will you be there for me when I need you?
    No matter how busy I will make time for you,
    if you are busy will you make time for me too?
    I will take your hand and comfort your tears,
    will you hold me and soothe my fears?
    I will give you joy and many warm smiles,
    can we share that even across many miles?
    I will not forget what’s important to you,
    will you remember what’s important to me too?
    With you my most favourite things I’ll share,
    If only I know do you truly care?
    If you can accept me as I do you,
    then I will know you are a friend most true

    A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups-porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite -- telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

    When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said:
    'Notice that all the nice looking; expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

    The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each others cups.

    Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have.

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything that they have.

    Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.. Thank the Lord for your blessings in 2008. And enjoy your hot chocolate!

    I like this message!

    “The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything that they have!”

    Hi Krista:
    I don't usually do these things but what the heck, I figure it's harmless. Currently reading: In the Shadow of the American Dream: Journals, 1971-1991, by David Wojnarovich, semi-famous NY artist who died of AIDS in 1991. Next up: Finishing The Fellowship, about Frank Lloyd Wright and his scandalous Talesin movement (lots of gay men there too!). I'm into a gay thing right now. Hope you're well. Haven't been to Dick's lately cause I'm (forcibly) on the wagon. But I will come by in the near future. Call sometime--614-735-3292 (cell) or 614-754-1576. Im home at night. I live on Tulane. Yours, Jake
    How do you do the bookshelf thing? Maybe I can figure it out.
