Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

"Pointless thinking is worse than no thinking at all", 
or
"No thinking is worse than pointless thinking."?




"Until things happen, they haven't happened."

If Your Religion...

If your religion is not about generosity, about the release from injustice, about mercy for all mankind, about giving others hope....

If your religion encourages fear, allows hate without rebuke, ignores poverty and racism...


then you do not have a connection to God, you have a policeman to keep the current evil order.

Five Symptoms of Laziness

1. 

Spiritual Economics

A person's economic level is not their worth.
Upward mobility often accompanies downward spirituality.
We should spend time being better, not being better off.

A Damn Good Listener

One of my folks came up to after worship just now and said, "That's a hell of a good sermon today.". I love my church.

Talk

"It's a very important thing to learn to talk to people you disagree with." 
Pete Seeger. 

Weight Loss

I lost about 500 pounds since I stopped exaggerating.

What We Say

Don't believe what anyone says, because they will almost always tell you what you want to hear, or what they want you to hear. Don't believe a person's non-verbal communication, because that only expresses what they feel for an instant. Believe what they do, because people's everyday lives are who they really are.
