I do not need any more slugs bouncing off my chin right now.

I am thinking more in Druid terms, where a balance is always reached in nature, no matter what humankind might expect to result from their minor toils.

... and painful happenstances can come back around and find joyful news, but that is not a circle; that will make a spiral, in my mind.

I choose to see it as an onward and upward spiral.

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

It's a platitude. One life beginning and another ending does not close a circle. Sorry.

You choose to see it as a platitude, but I was not using it as a platitude. No sense in arguing over it though.

I blame my platitudes on great minds who think alike.  :zoinks:

No, you're right. We could duel at noon instead. :P

The culling of stuff and books Thought is rising in my brain again.  Especially in the volcano books collection.   Gathering dust, unread, they need a good home.  And I need to continue to declutter.  One is a coffee table book about volcanoes, an easy read and will go to a wonderful charity centered thrift shop, and the other book is an antique and will also go there.  I am feeling the desire to cut down on my possessions.  Maybe the impending death of my dear friend is making me rethink my priorities and be more inclined to let stuff go.

I've slowly been doing the same. I downloaded a few books on de-cluttering on a whim...most were just pure boredom between two covers...a couple though took hold....one was actually a very enjoyable read.

I've seen a few books about decluttering in the book store.  I also think my age, 64, has a lot to do with it, multiple moves in a few years also factors into that.  And we'll be moving again someday, it's time.

I found myself slowly slipping into my hoarding ways.  So I've been trying to clear.  At last count I had over 2,000 books on my kindle.  Still struggle with clothes (hey! I can refashion that top.  I can cut that towel up into smaller wash cloths. etc.) This shit wasn't accumulated in a day and it's going to take a while.   

I shudder having to eventually go through my sister's house.  It's a 2 story 1930's house built by a wealthy merchant.  She bought it in 2003 and wasn't able to finish restoring it.  It has half of my parent's stuff in it, the stuff she bought to restore it, the stuff she bought to decorate it AND the stuff she bought just because. 
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.
