NAPKIN WORDS #60 2010

1. BALANCE
All over this world, and I have traveled
much of this world, I have learned there
is always great joy, there is always great
sorrow.

Remember that it is always up to you
to depart with what you wish to remember!

2. UNDERSTANDING EGO
When you began, it was late for all that
began before you.

It will last after you departed, after you
ended what you began!

3. MODERN DAY SPEED
The computer shows us more but teaches
us less.

Learning has always taken time, with an
understanding that it is just the first of
many steps!

4. WHEN LIFE ITEMS ARE TRINKETS
Tourism should take nothing from a
village but the experience.

Else leave them be!

5. THE VALUE OF LAUGHTER
It is never how much laughter there is
displayed at one moment that is important.

Its importance should be in how often it is
displayed!

6. PERFECTION
That joining of the human wonder of time,
with time displaying all that is wonder!

7. AFTER THE EXTINCTION
At the very time that the world went deaf,
that became the first moment for the
possibility of words!

8. I WONDER WHY IT IS
If wisdom is an umbrella for the many storms
in life, why is it, that no matter what they cost,
an umbrella of wisdom quickly breaks or gets lost?

9. STUPIDITY
Our problem is not fear, for fear can be resolved.

It is when our reaction to fear is so persuasive,
that we believe it to be cataclysmic. Thus, we never
willingly allow the possibility that our fear could
be resolved!

10. PROGRESS
A special moment right after starting something!

INVENTORY


If we considered inventorying our being, for instance, the way that Sulka, that so perfect company of what was once the finest in men’s wear did, those many years ago when I worked there, would we truly be able to count how many billion pores we possess?

Who shall count our life heart beats each and every second, never mind the minutes, hours, days and years?

What of our lost hairs? Should we call the police to
help find those that genetics steal, or those thrown
away to sun and time?

Do we yell, “ robbery” at each leaving of dried out skin?
At each death of a thousand brain cells, due to our
criminal action of drink and age?

I think not! I thank God that in his wisdom, it was decided that there never would be an inventory of our physical being.
