Go easy. You may have to push forward, but you don't have to push so hard. Go in gentleness - go in peace.


Do not be in so much of a hurry. At no day, no hour, no time are you required to do more than you can do in peace.


Frantic behaviors and urgency are not the foundation for our new way of life.


Do not be in too much of a hurry to begin. Begin, but do not force the beginning if it is not time. Beginnings will arrive soon enough.


Enjoy and relish middles, the heart of the matter.


Do not be in too much of a hurry to finish. You may be almost done, but enjoy the final moments. Give yourself fully to those moments so that you may give and get all there is.


Let the pace flow naturally. Move forward. Start. Keep moving forward. Do it gently, though. Do it in peace. Cherish each moment.

Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management
technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The
funny thing is that it really does work.
Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out over
a crystal clear stream with both hands in the cool, fresh running water.
Birds are sweetly singing in the cool, pristine mountain air.  No one
knows your secret place. You are in total seclusion from that hectic
place called the world. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills
the air with a cascade of serenity. The water is so crystal clear that
you can easily make out the face of the person you are holding
underwater.
See? It really does work. You're smiling already.

Take it easy, take it easy
Dont let the sound of your own
Wheels make you crazy

We may lose and we may win though
We will never be here again

Thanks Phil,
for the both posts. The first one especially. I'm in "the middle" of building that mountain home and I'm a little bewildered about getting all the "rough in" items in the floors and walls. 2 years now on just that part and I'm am soo ready to move on but the building is not. oh well, high class problems eh?

You CCR fans should know that there is a fantastic and recent John Fogerty concert DVD in wallmart for $10.
run forrest run!
