It is my understanding that certain Olympic athletes are being told not to shake hands during the upcoming Olympics for fear of contracting diseases and therefore lowering the possible medal count.
I wonder whether winning or human understanding should be the goal of such events?
Recently I used the expression “pushing up the daisies” in a mixed-age group of people. No one under the age of 25 knew what it meant.
While at death of this body, I intend to donate any usable parts as organ transplants, leaving the rest to medical science (for studies on the prolonged use of aspartame, if nothing else), toasting the remains to be used perhaps to fertilize the daisies rather than push them up as a casket might, it brought clearly to mind the need for us to be sure that what we say is understood by those with whom we are speaking.
If you want to experience a wild ride, sit in good light and look at your wrist. Don’t think about looking at your wrist, look at it.
What do you see?
Skin?
Tiny hair follicles?
Veins?
Blood moving?
Your heart beating?
Are you seeing the life in you?
Nice gift.
