Habitually yours

My habits, routines and repetitions—these are barriers to love, not entry points.

On ignorance

The word ‘ignorance’ comes from the Latin for not knowing. We think we’re wise when we know, stupid when we don’t. But the reverse is true. True knowing is spontaneous, not stored up.  

Boxed up

We are exhorted to think outside the box. Unfortunately, thinking is the box.

Crystal ball

The best predictor of the future kicks its chubby legs in the cradle of the now.

Manna

Men on bail are required to keep the peace. The rest of us are enjoined to keep quiet.

If my mind is quiet and my heart is pure, Life will bring everything I need to my front door. It will be fresh and new every morning.

If I do not keep quiet, I will need to be a go-getter. “Oh, that Ashford,” people will say, “he’s a real go-getter.”
