leftunspoken's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Profundity and Glass Houses I heard something I thought quite wise and profound. Though I must warn you that I frequently think many things wise and profound which are likely not. Friends have suggested it is because I over-think things. Which sounds a great deal like the George Carlin bit about the phrase "more than happy" sounding like a mental condition requiring medication and sitting in rooms with no sharp edges. So then there is me...frequently chirping "more than happy to..." and generally "over-thinking" most everything when not in utter hands-over-ears denial. Perhaps they are mental conditions the both of them. Or maybe, just maybe, I am charmed and stilled by beauty and truth in poetic phrases small or simple enough for my lamentable memory to retain. You may be the judge. (Though may I remind you that judging others is a dangerous business. Stones and glass houses and such.) So the wise and profound thing: Be careful of underestimating others burdens. Sometimes burdens look an awful lot like gifts. 11:46 a.m. - January 05, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
