Ethical Companies-
Guess who is at the bottom of the list ?

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Be good anyway.

Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People need help, but may attack you if you try to help them.
Help them anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway. - Mother Theresa

Thursday, March 11, 2010, 8:15 a.m.
45 degrees, breezy, mostly cloudy

A soft breeze brings the sweet bakery whiff of maple syrup along with it this morning,
from the steam pouring out of the sugar shack up the road. The sap has been flowing steadily
on the Hill for about a week, and the quality of the syrup has been extra fine so far. I like the dark
amber liquid at the end of the run, and will gladly wait for that; it has a wonderful rich maple flavor
lacking in the fancier grade. Yesterday the temperature rose into the mid-fifties, and it was a perfect
day for being outdoors. We took a long walk with the dog in the morning, and he got thoroughly
muddy from trotting thorough the mucky bits at the roadside. After lunch we headed out on skis
and explored the swamps, pastures, and hayfields in our neighborhood, finding the conditions
much better than we had hoped. There were a few mushy spots where the sun was at its most
intense, but there were also long stretches of firm corn snow and fast icy runs in the shade. It was
as near to perfect as spring skiing ever gets. I cut a twig from a pussy willow bush and this morning
the little fuzzy catkins are beginning to poke out of their hulls after spending the night in a jar of water.
They are very small; I know where some larger specimens are, but haven’t been back that way yet
this year. It has been dangerous to ski on the Smith Road due to heavy snowmobile traffic, espe-
cially on weekends. Perhaps the middle of next week will afford a day or two of peace and quiet
and then we will head back to the pussy willow patch and snag some branches to decorate the
kitchen windowsill. Alpine skiing is winding down, and if you are planning to visit Snow Ridge
during March, be sure to check the schedule on their home page at www.snowridge.com.
Have a fine day,
Daisy

We are what we think.
All that we are, arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.

Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.

How can a troubled mind understand the way ?
Your worst enemy cannot harm you
as much as your own thoughts unguarded.

But once mastered,
No one can help you as much,
Not even your father or your mother.
Buddha

That very last little bit -- not even your father or mother -- tells us something that we often forget;
we are born in love. Our parents love us, even if they don't do it perfectly or even well enough to mark
our lives in any positive way. It was a spark of love, of warmth and desire, that brought us onto this plane.
It's love that defines us even if that is not our experience, here. It's the energy that lifts us, assists us,
heals us -- and we are on a mission to love ourselves back into the garden, all together, hand in hand. - Eric

All religions are God's children. They were put out there to make sure everyone got The Message.
It's not His/Her fault man misinterprets the lessons to fit his own morals and agenda.

~
Sometimes, it is OK for things to be less than OK. We have, in our minds, an unrealistic expectation.
We think everything ought to be perfect. If it isn't, we figure we must be doing something wrong.
But we live on a planet where nothing is without fault. Nothing.... and nobody !
What counts, in the end, is not how you manage to make things right.
It's how you manage to live with the fact that some things will always be a bit wrong.
~

it's time to stop giving yourself lame excuses to not
make love, make art or make a difference. - Eric

A Sioux Indian Story
~
The Creator gathered all of Creation and said,
"I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it.
It is the realization that they create their own reality."

The eagle said, "Give it to me, I will take it to the moon."
The Creator said, "No. One day they will go there and find it."

The salmon said, "I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean."
"No. They will go there too."

The buffalo said, "I will bury it on the Great Plains."
The Creator said, "They will cut into the skin of the Earth
and find it even there."

Grandmother Mole, who lives in the breast of Mother Earth,
and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said,
"Put it inside of them."
