When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it.

Nagarjuna "Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible. Nagarjuna

ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. But I'd much rather sit down with you over a great lunch on a few if you're ever in Mass. Or, when I make out your way. Not Mexico though as I do not have a passport.
