"i still believe that everything does work out for the best. we just may be wrong about what we think is the best."

"'your life is getting complicated,' he said. 'get rid of whatever it is that's causing you to lose your temper. stay here quietly and rearrange yourself.'"

carlos says:

"he described will as a force which was the true link between men and the world. he was very careful to establish that the world was whatever we perceive, in any manner we may choose to perceive. he maintained that 'perceiving the world' entails a process of apprehending whatever presents itself to us. this particular 'perceiving' is done with our senses and with our will. i asked him if will was a sixth sense. he said it was rather a relation between ourselves and the perceived world."

"Just A Little Ditty"

yesterday i attended training for my company's latest technology. it involves touch screen computers and relearning all i know. i have worked for my company six years and six months which when approximately estimated comes to one thousand seven hundred eighty nine days. during my training, my first session of many, i sat in front of a computer. a woman spoke to me through a speaker of the changes that will take place. the first is the elimination of paper. i pondered if i'll miss it. i do enjoy my handwriting. my thoughts then turned to the inventors of the all great office supplies i may soon no longer use. i wonder how these men and women feel about their creations' future and potentially permanent irrelevance. "are you there?" the woman asked.

did you know?

i have long arms!
i have three alarms!
