Life is the first draft of our autobiography

Today I got mail: Amazon.com recommends "Tales of Wonder: Adventures Chasing the Divine, an Autobiography" by Huston Smith.

That certainly sounds fascinating. In my life it has been the Divine chasing me, strangely enough.

It must be awesome to be able to, around the age of 90, write an autobiography called "Tales of Wonder". I suspect that if I reach that age and write my autobiography, it will be called "The Eternal Newbie."

Words of wisdom, and not by me!

"As long as you study the Truth at only an intellectual level, there is a ceiling, but once you reach the stage of applying this knowledge in a practical way, all limits disappear and your learning will take an infinite variety of forms."

-Ryuoho Okawa: Ten Principles of Universal Wisdom.
