THE GUEST HOUSE
This being human is a guesthouse.
Each morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
Who violently sweep your house
Empty of its furniture,
Still, treat each guest honorably.
S/he may be cleaning you out
For some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
Meet them at the door laughing,
And invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
Because each has been sent
As a guide from beyond.

last train to glasgow
Jun. 21st, 2003 03:31 pmhow did it get to be 3:30? how did it get to be saturday? when did it get so cloudy out? (it might be wise to go for a walk soon rather than later when it might rain.)
you'd think that since i've been on vacation this week,i'd catch up on reading journals. ha ha. what happens is i read something in someone's journal,i read other comments they get,find the comments intriguing,and end up with more people on my friends list. i'm a slut,but i have a heart of gold. (where's neil?)
you know how 'they' say that what you'd be most happy doing for a living,what your 'mission' in life is supposed to be,is the thing that makes you lose all track of time? well,for me it's reading and writing,i.e. communicating with others on the internet. how can i earn money doing that? hmmmm...i've thought i'd be a great correspondence secretary to some famous person,but i don't want to move to hollywood. although glasgow would be nice...i wonder if billy boyd needs a secretary? not that i'd even notice glasgow if billy was nearby...ha ha.
unfortunately,i'm sure i'd have LOTS of competition for the job, as it would be the consolation prize for the gal who doesn't get to MARRY billy.
okay,where was i before i got carried away? oh,how do i make a living doing what i love? hmmmmm....
anyway,i'm going to go for that walk.
ta ta for now!

"Just in case you haven't been informed:
At Heathrow Airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a compass, a protractor, and a graphical calculator. Authorities believe he is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction."
this may or may not be the original version
how about a game of 'telephone'?
