My Take on the Wisdom of Others
"If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise." William Blake.
So, if I persist with this dream and forge ahead to manufacture a double canoe, and then take her voyaging upon the sea there will be cognitive rewards?
"The biggest danger, that of loosing oneself, can pass off in the world as quietly as if it were nothing; every other loss, an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife etc., is bound to be noticed." Soren Kierkegaard.
Unfortunately I know this to be true. During a 27 year marriage to a woman with a hounding and harrassing personality, I lost myself. No one among my family recognised my loss, nor did I until it was finally over. The good news is that time is effecting a rapid recovery.
Our own life is the instrument with which we experiment with truth. Thich Naat Hanh.

We have to risk life to get into life, then it takes on colour, otherwize we might as well read a book. Carl Jung.
As a child and young man, I was a risk-taker, less so during my married years. But, I do recall my life with colour. Yes, I have been reading a lot of late, but it's a phase, a way to regain focus.
I wanted to say I'd done it. not I wish I'd done it. BIJABOJI by Betty Lowman Carey.
Yes! I can wallow and whine and make excuses. I can always wonder. But better to takes me chances while I am able.
