it’s the road that matters, not the destination

Yes, you did get something right.

Be utterly humble and you shall hold on
To the foundation of peace. -Lao Tzu

You are not the hammer, or the nail, or even the board;
You are the breeze brushing against the carpenter's smile.

You are not the dog, or the leash, or the master;
You are the sunlight the dog sees when the front door opens.

You are the choices
And the one who chooses.

It’s the road that matters, not the destination, and all those people
That you love? It turns out that you are right about that. Nice.

James Lee Jobe

Our real enemies and the enemies of humanity are negative emotions like anger and hatred. Indeed, people who are dominated by powerful negative emotions should be objects of our compassion.

Dalai Lama

Something greater than this life

Those who know do not tell,
And those who tell do not know. -Lao Tzu

You can teach a dog to fetch a stick;
But can he understand the truth of the trees?

A cooper can build a barrel;
But he cannot know how you will fill it.

Take the key and wind the old clock; time has no real meaning.
We could start the count over at any point, if we so choose.

Some people believe there is something greater than this life
And some do not. Who is correct? How could I possibly know that?

James Lee Jobe

Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it.

A grab at the brass ring

It's better not to make merit a matter of reward Lest people conspire and contend. -Lao Tzu

We are tattooing dollar signs on the foreheads of the infants, And dicing up the elderly and the homeless to use as chum When we fish for more bankers and loan officers.

On the crucifix that we use for only decoration We have replaced Jesus with paper money.

These things happen daily.

Night will come, then dawn, right on time; We cannot prove it will happen, but it always does.

Reward the wealthy for being wealthy And punish the poor for being poor.

It's blood. Drink it. It's greed. Worship it. Aren't we tired of this yet?

War for profit. Jails for profit. Has it come to this - living and dying for someone's profit?

Friend, it's only a goddamn brass ring; Why even try to grab it? Pass it by, pass it by.

It is nothing.
