Who am I? How did I come into the world? Why was I not consulted?

Soren Kierkegaard    

Imagine an infinity of lives and choices. There would be, I fear, infinitely more chaos than we currently enjoyas a result. Boundaries allow the freedom to focus freely upon what we hope to achieve and upon what is, after all, the most amazingly wonderful fact of all the fact of Now. In the realm of our being, there is a balance of limited freedom and inexorable circumstance. The boundaries that most effectively and favorably influence our behavior are freely chosen from within; the others restrictions of space, time and sentient existence simply are there and require adaptive acceptance. Life as we know it is dissolving before our very eyes. We cannot detain or explain it. Time moves us along according to agendas beyond our ability to comprehend, and always there is the crisis of danger and opportunity.

Bill Joyner

To be completely free means waking up from all dreamlike states, and reclaiming who you are: the maker of reality.

  Deepak Chopra

... in the course of our life we leave and are left and let go of much that we love. Losing is the price we pay for living. It is also the source of much of our growth and gain.

Judith Viorst in NECESSARY LOSSES

We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, hammering on the minds door at 4 a.m. of a dark night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends.

Joan Didion

Dreams are only dreams, not necessarily signs of foreboding. Dreams are fantasies of the unconscious, dimly glimpsed through shades of slumber, but they are not literal descriptions of daytime reality  Dreams do have a lot to do with a persons inner sense of reality, though. I often dream about being disoriented, bereft of meaningful assistance, separated from my car or my bike, without telephone contact, unsure of where I am, insecure, afraid of losing it. Reality reassures us somewhat that we are not so utterly lost as our dreams sometime suggest,  but the dream remains as a reminder of our need for greater inward AND outward stability.

Bill Joyner

Machines will do anything you tell them,

as long as you do what they say.

  T. Bone Burnett, in his song Zombieland

Act well at the moment and you have performed a good action to all eternity.

Johann Lavater

Only those who take leisurely what the people of the world are busy about can be busy about what the world takes leisurely. 

Chang Chao

We shall all have a rugged time of it, to keep our mind open and ... deep, to keep our sense of duty and our ability to make it. We shall have a rugged time of it, all of us, in keeping these garden paths, but this, as I see it, is the human condition and in this condition we can help, because we can love one another.

J. Robert Oppenheimer

Theres no such thing as not enough time if youre doing what you want to do.

Robert Half

Some critics of string theory say that it may prove nothing, that as far as parallel realities are concerned, this is it. But I heard one thing loud and clear in the discussion among physicists on NPR: everything that is, began with a big bang.
