Thoreau - "Cold and hunger seem more friendly to my nature than those methods which men have adopted and advise to ward them off."

Thoreau - "You must get your living by loving. But as it is said of the merchants that ninety-seven in a hundred fail, so the life of men generally, tried by this standard, is a failure, and bankruptcy may be surely prophesied."

Thoreau - If I should sell both my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I am sure that for me there would be nothing left worth living for.The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man. You may raise money enough to tunnel a mountain, but you cannot raise money enough to hire a man who is minding his own business. An efficient and valuable man does what he can, whether the community pay him for it or not. The inefficient offer their inefficiency to the highest bidder, and are forever expecting to be put into office. One would suppose that they were rarely disappointed.

Another high-growth day for my cancer, and not so good for me. :-( All I can do is sleep - so tired.

***** This actually seems to be my life discovery, that Loving, that is, Serving from the Soul in Solidarity, IS LIFE, IS HEAVEN, is EXPERIENTIALLY SUPERIOR TO EVERY ALTERNATIVE, EVERY SECOND. How could this be, that this is my discovery? Well, either it is wrong, and ridiculous, or it is correct, and seems to be my discovery. All the Great Spirits I continue to study, they come so close to seeing this! And then they stop short, or turn, at just the wrong moment.
