🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 Thought for the Day


Are you coming back to this one, Tim? You brought Styx into the Convo. Tommy is someone I've had taco's with...literally. Madison Avenue, Memphis. 1981 I want to say. (Let me hit this bowl for a second.)

In '04 I went to the Beale Street Festival. The last concert I attended...RIP to those days.
 
Several years ago I invited a Buddhist monk to speak to my Senior elective class, and quite interestingly, as he entered the room, he didn't say a word (that caught everyone's attention). He just walked to the board and wrote this: "EVERYONE WANTS TO SAVE THE WORLD, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO HELP MOM DO THE DISHES." We all laughed.

But then he went on to say this to my students: "Statistically, it's highly unlikely that any of you will ever have the opportunity to run into a burning orphanage and rescue an infant. But, in the smallest gesture of kindness — a warm smile, holding the door for the person behind you, shoveling the driveway of the elderly person next door — you have committed an act of immeasurable profundity, because to each of us, our life is our universe."
