Into the mystery

Beginnings are easy. Not so, endings. Every ending is a seminar on surrender.

Worth repeating

Apple founder Steve Jobs’s last six words: “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.”

Witness

When things go wrong, as they dependably do, notice how speedily Idiot leaps into action, pointing the finger, assigning blame, making wrong. To diminish, even demolish the ego, see this as it happens.

Sweetness

The sweetness of life is its temporariness.

The Virgil effect

Life befriends and guides generous men. Tightwads fall into holes they’ve dug themselves.
