Philosophy by which you live

[OregonGuy]

Each Day A Life

by Robert William Service



I count each day a little life,
With birth and death complete;
I cloister it from care and strife
And keep it sane and sweet.

With eager eyes I greet the morn,
Exultant as a boy,
Knowing that I am newly born
To wonder and to joy.

And when the sunset splendours wane
And ripe for rest am I,
Knowing that I will live again,
Exultantly I die.

O that all Life were but a Day
Sunny and sweet and sane!
And that at Even I might say:
"I sleep to wake again."

Let go and let God. Not my saying, can't remember who wrote that.

I think it is part of a twelve step program.

Do no harm.

Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

I have tons of stuff to do at my homes. The lake is not as much fun as work, but it keeps me in shape too.
Erosion control down the hill to the lake is a constant thing. A Hickory tree living at an acute angle up toward the hill broke off
and fell, the top of the stump about 12' up, no problem for now but the rest of the mature tree on the ground has about 100 chain-
saw cuts to do tomorrow and Saturday and hauled.

Back at the City its upkeep of the property too.

Erosion is not the thing there. Its things like Maple spinning seeds by the millions. Getting everything ready so the lil
woman can plant her plants. That her way to stay in shape too. Things are very green now after near 12" of rain in April.

.. and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

The answer to the question why me is well, why not you.

Duck and cover.

Today (and lately) my philosophy has been, If at first you don't succeed, give up; no need to be a fanatic about it.

I c&p'd this to make it understandable:

I have been a Buddhist since my early 20's and this is my Philosphy.

Theravada Buddhism, meaning "the teaching of the elders," is the oldest surviving school of Buddhism, with a strong emphasis on monastic life and the teachings preserved in the Pali Canon, and is dominant in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, Laos, and Cambodia.
