Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1210 - #RidingWaves
03 Nov, 2025
RIDING WAVES
"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf."
Jon Kabat-Zinn
"Resist it and you'll get knocked over. Dive in and you'll swim out the other side."
Ol Parker and Deborah Moggach
THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL
Sometimes you make waves.
Sometimes you ride them.
And when you ride them,
sometimes they're few and far between,
and you get to catch your breath in between them--
this one
and the next one
and the next.
Not so now.
They just keep coming--
one on top of another,
and another,
no time to breathe
no less breathe deep,
no time to regain your bearings
no less your footing.
We must stay
ever flexible--
heart strong,
legs strong,
intentions strong
mind open and always
adjusting.
Catch you on the crest of a wave ...
or on another shore.
