Conversation at the Blue Mountains

Sunday  23rd January 2000

Greetings from Blackheath,

May we say it was great to have all you lovely people at our house last week and next time will be as enjoyable we are sure. Though neither Jenni or I had time to sit and be part of the whole conversation, we appreciated the atmosphere and feel positive about the whole thing anyway.

We came across the following thoughts from a friend and we want to pass them on as they bring to the fore some of our own feelings and epitomise the basis of our focus: today IS.

• Be patient enough to live one day at a time, letting yesterday go and leaving tomorrow until it arrives
• All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today
• What counts is not the number of hours you put in, but how much you put in the hours
• The door to the human heart can be opened only from the inside
• Wisdom consists in knowing what to do with what you know
• He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love
