Joni Mitchell's song lyrics of getting back to the garden and living life from both sides now floats into her observations of some pains, human follies & irritations and scarcities ("fishermen with nothing in their nets") and blessings of courage & creativity... on which to let your little light shine....the sanitizing exposure of all tings to the light.

Meditate...Live purely...Be Quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon,
Come out from behind the Clouds!
Shine
Treat others as you want to be treated.
Do your job as well as possible.
Be "open mined"
explore and respect other cultures.
Live as simply as possible.
Remember "family counts"
Stay out of debt.
Help others whenever possible.
Enjoy the simple things and the beauty of nature.
Go to TB as often as possible, and stay as long as possible :>)
ONE LOVE !!
Mike
Let's count our days as blessing,
And live like the moon,
The older the moon, is the brighter it shine.
One love!
"Thousand of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened...Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"Thoughts give joy when they speak or act...Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them."
"On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter,
wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night...If she/he lives a pure life, nothing can destroy her/him."
"Be a lamp unto yourself. Work out your liberation with diligence"
"To keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we will not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom, and keep our mind strong and clear. Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals."
