This quote has given me the inner power and thrust to go forward and understand Rumi’s literature and Sufism.

Comment on It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish by Out with the Old, In with the New | Brendan Nagle

[...] I likely wouldn’t have done it at all. As Samwise Gamgee’s old gaffer used to say, “It’s the job that’s never started as takes the longest to finish”. Wise words. May this be a lesson for all of you as well… there’s never a wrong time to [...]

Comment on Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand and Eternity in an hour by Eric

Life sure is amazing. The first four lines of this poem especially bring that out. I work with the movement for indefinite life extension for just these reasons, for these notions brought out in these lines. Who could arrive here, see this, realize this and then not put up a fight as we slide back toward the abyss? I cant, I wont, I fight.

Comment on The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep by C. J.

I think that at first he is really just talking about those little moments when you stop and realize that time is passing. I am always so busy and rarely get to enjoy those moments where you can just stop and take it all in, think to yourself “time is passing”. And once you realize time is passing, it hits you that time is PASSING. I think that is where” the woods are lovely dark and deep” and so forth come in to play. He is realizing that. A lot of you i notice are older, I just turned 23 and this poem means a lot to me always has. I just reached a turning point in my life and am headed in a new direction. I have been in college doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons. Its like up until now I was just watching those woods and now I have realized that I have a promise to myself to do whatever I need to do to make myself happy and I have miles to go before I’m there and that those deep, dark, hypnotizing woods will always be there to distract me, but I will not give up or give in. And as for the miles to go before I sleep, I see as optimistic. I have my whole life ahead of me and I need to make the best of it before its too late.

Comment on Writing Prompt – November 10, 2011 by Karen

I have many friends. Some who have met and some who have never met each other and some that I have never met in person–Internet friends. I sometimes wonder what would happen if all my friends could meet up in one place and freely wander amongst the group. What would they think? Would they pair off or split up in to groups of threes and fours? Since I could not be the center of all this pairing off and all this splitting up into groups, what would they find out about me without my consent? Would they still be my friends at the end of the process or would they wonder if they had even ever known me at all? It would be revealing just to hear the comments, “Karen is a strong woman with various opinions” one might say. Another might say I don’t know that Karen. She’s often needy and worrisome and I think she drinks more than she admits. Another might say, Karen lights candles and does incantations. I wonder what we’d all learn about each other . . . I wonder.
