"The thing to do when you're impatient...is to turn to your left and ask advice from your death. An immense amount of pettiness is dropped if your death makes a gesture to you, or if you catch a glimpse of it, or if you just have the feeling that your companion is there watching you." —Don Juan (from
Journey To Ixtlan)
Yes, wish more people would do this. I seem to recall some advice given for a recalcitrant child-about taking the child to a morgue and having him lay hands in a corpse to advance his perpsective.thank you..
ReplyDeleteAnd on a sad note about death - but apropos of the subject, further bastardization, misinterpretation, misapplications and tragic mangling of the second amendment:

Perhaps this dead child's parents will rethink their gun ownership and it's so called benefits.
ReplyDeleteThat's a terrible story Robert, especially the accumulation of tragic incidents.
