Moan, Sigh and Woe

"Woe is me!" I sigh and moan.

M+O+A+N = S+I+G+H = W+O+E

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanished sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restor'd and sorrows end.
- William Shakespeare

 “The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean-tide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this is forever very” - Thomas Carlyle

“Sometimes it feels like we're shoveling sand against the tide. We shovel some bad guys out of the way, and there's some new and younger and more energetic ones to take their place.” - Larry Smith

“A man who is 'of sound mind' is one who keeps the inner madman under lock and key.” - Paul Valery

“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.” - Richard Bach

“Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.” - Anthony D'Angelo

The Laws of Thought

The laws of thought, in all its processes of conception and of reasoning, in all those operations of which language is the expression or the instrument, are of the same kind as are the laws of the acknowledged process of Mathematics. - George Boole

Although on its surface, reality may seem arbitrary and chaotic, beneath its surface, the subtle workings and laws of the universe - in all their various manifestations - are known to be logical, organized and meticulously arranged.

It is the very trait which gives us an opportunity to be human - free will - which allows us to be distracted and prevented from seeing the sublime order which pervades the universe.

Likewise, it is only our free will and intelligence, when properly guided and focused, which enables us to most consciously perceive the true nature of reality.
