-Quotation Wednesday

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow. ~Aesop

I can’t say for sure I entirely understand the intent of the author (Aesop) within this quote; but within it I can find meaning that I believe to be tremendously valuable. Each experience, can be seen as a shadow. . . . →Read the Rest: Grasping at the Shadows

Of all that you are against, of all that you oppose, my friend be aware of this insanity that makes the heart close.

“If Only.” A desire for Control

By Tigmonk, on October 7th, 2009
