I talk to you just to plant a seed, a song, a star. If you can become happy, you become religious. A happy person is a religious person -- let that be the definition. A religious person is not one who goes to the church or the temple. A religious person is happy. Wherever he is, he is in the temple. A happy person carries his temple around him.

An extraterrestrial visitor examining the differences among human societies would find those differences trivial compared to the similarities.
Our lives, our past and our future are tied to the sun, the moon, and the stars...we humans have seen the atoms which constitute all of nature and the forces that sculpted this work...and we who represent the local eyes and ears and thoughts and feelings of the cosmos, have begun to wonder about our origins...star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion billion billion atoms, contemplating the evolution of nature, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on planet Earth...Our loyalties are to the species and to the planet. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves but also to that cosmos ancient and vast from which we spring.
We are one species.
We are star stuff harvesting star light.

The two days in every week, in which we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One is Yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we've performed. Nor can we erase a single word we've said, Yesterday is gone!
The other day we shouldn't worry about is Tomorrow, with its impossible adversaries, its burdens, its hopeful promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. And until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when we add the burdens of Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives people mad, it is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened Yesterday, and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, live one day at a time!

Ouch...
I hurt myself opening a difficult window this morning...
I went to class anyway...knowing that sometimes movement is almost always better than being sedentary.
Ouch...my low back really hurts.
Heat and cold...heat and cold.
