I promised Thumbody I would take a picture of him, after the shoulder operation.
I don't make promises lightly.

This quote from Robert Fulghum, is his reworking of a Zen Buddhist adage

"One may do what one will,
but one must take the consequenses"

"There is really nothing you must be
And there is nothing you must do
There is really nothing you must have
And there is nothing you must know
There is really nothing you must become
However
It helps to understand that fire burns
And when it rains, the earth gets wet"

It reminds me of another famous quote from another one of my HEROES.
Perhaps you've heard of him, or his music...

"There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you
in time - It's easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy".

John Lennon
