On the Road to Truth

THERE ARE ONLY TWO MISTAKES ONE
CAN MAKE ALONG THE ROAD TO TRUTH,
NOT GOING ALL THE WAY AND NOT STARTING.

~The Buddha


Of Note: Ever wonder why we are here anyway? What's the point? The Buddha answered those questions in his succinct statement. He stressed that we are finding the Truth but to participate in that process, we must get started and consciously step onto the Path. After that, there is no turning back without consequences. Scary, yes, but exhilarating when we realize that conscious evolution is our destiny. Yes, that's it, onward and upward toward Truth with no turning back.

Today's Weather Report: What a beautiful, busy day. It was like Grand Central Station around here with well-drillers punching down a new well and the washer repairman arriving in the middle of it all, only to be turned away because of the lack of electricity. I was in the middle of a long email when everything electric in the house went dead around noon. Come to find out, we had no electricity for most of the afternoon because the electric company cut our line without notice to do repair work. Considering there are only three residences on our road, it would have been easy to let us all know, particularly since the next door neighbor is 97!
