Big Al once told Stanley… “Anyone can commit just about anything to memory.  Repeat it over and over.  But to know the meaning behind the words is an entirely different deal, old boy.”…..  OR….in other words……“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” ~ Albert Einstein

In this world…. there is an awful lot to be learned.  If we care to.

And…. as our human luck would have it…. we can receive teachings or lessons from anybody and anything.

The world is a big place.  The universe…even bigger.  You know how I can chatter on about these things. It seems to me that the existence here, is completely and awesomely vast.  Yet even though that MAY be  I think. ….our everyday experiences are enough to teach us all that we need to know.

Perhaps to be able to do this… we need to be sensitive enough so that we can “be a part” of  every situation that takes place in our lives and find out what it has to teach us.

Sometimes… the things that need to be learned cannot be found in classrooms, or in churches,  from government leaders… or even from the smartest person on earth.  The real lesson of life is not about knowledge. It is all about the happening… the awareness…  and the understanding.

If we can simply learn to live with an open heart and an open mind …. if we can  allow ourselves to get the most  from every situation that we bump in to.  No matter what the experience may be.

Like a rolling stone.  We just might find… We get what we need.

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them. – Ernest Hemmingway

Don’t find fault.  Find a  remedy. – Henry Ford
