THE GREAT GRATITUDE ADVENTURE/ DAY TWENTY-SIX/ PERFECT

So we wait. Until we get smarter. Til we understand computers better. Til our spouse comes round to our way of thinking. Til our family gets it. Til we feel more confident. Waiting for this, that and the other. We want, in effect, to get it right. To have the perfect solution in sight before…

THE GREAT GRATITUDE ADVENTURE/ DAY TWENTY-FOUR/ CIRCULAR DREAMING–FLAT THINKING

How about the “’round the world” part?— as in knowing that the world is indeed a round thing that we could set sail on and be assured that the currents would eventually carry us back home. Not so very long ago that was a heretical concept— one that belonged to the dreamers and the crazies….
