Random Quotes

In no particular order, some thoughts from Mr. Bach that have been on my mind.....

I'd explain further if I  had any idea where this is going. I had a LONG one-sided conversation with someone earlier where I admitted I often say "too much" but find my ramblings fall short of saying everything that should be said. Without actually saying the things that would possibly destroy that fragile bond we share....



  • “I’m here not because I am supposed to be here, or because I’m trapped here, but because I’d rather be with you than anywhere else in the world.” 

  • “Bad things are not the worst things that an happen to us. NOTHING is the worst thing that can happen to us.”  


  • “The only thing that shatters dreams is compromise.” 

  • “Argue for your limitations,  and quick enough,  they are yours”  

  • “Every person, all the events in your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.”  
 

 Anyhoo..... sometimes I just have to write things down. Those that read here often might have realized I don't always make sense. All I can say is: be glad you don't have to read what I don't share. You might be calling for the guys with the white coat with arms that cross in the back.

Somewhere, in the corners of my tiny mind, way in the back, there's something that just keeps throwing things out. Hoping something sticks. Someone somewhere needs to hear one of my random things. Something I write will make a difference. More often than I'd care to admit, I even learn something from myself.

“Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.”  Richard Bach  

Even when you're not even sure what you're afraid of.

Especially when you 've figured out what you're scared of.

Particularly when you've realized it's YOU that you're fearful of.


If I had stopped to listen once or twice
If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart
I'd not be on this road tonight



James Taylor sang that for John Belushi's family and friends in March 1982. I don't think it was ever recorded in studio, and I only heard it that day. I didn't listen to it. 

There's a difference.

I hope you understand that already. It took me a while.  

No, not today. A long time ago. But then I forgot about it. 

And now, I remember again.
