Thoughts are Not the Material to Accomplish Change

One afternoon a fox and a lion were lazin' around in the high grass, and the fox gazed off into the distance and said to his companion, "Have you noticed the difficulty in trying to reverse the mortal concept of 'fables' to fit our circumstances--that is, to tell stories concerning the normal affairs of man, and then turn them into metaphorical teaching devices pertinent to us?" And as he stretched real good and engaged in a leisurely yawn, the lion had to admit that the fox had something there.

 In all of the territories just beyond the horizon, thoughts are not the material by which change is accomplished.

One transcendentally active father said to his similarly agitated son, "If you wait on any outside assistance from life or anyone else to help you scratch that itch that we have, you're in for a..." and the lad smiled and made a hand gesture signifying, "No need to say more."

At a certain point, just for a brief moment, every good mystic thinks what it might have been like had he had himself, as he is now, for a father back when he really needed one.

The reason that it's neurons that turn into metaphors and allegories is that hormones have their natural limits and can't.

Across a chasm that separated one kingdom from an even greater one was a bridge, a bridge guarded by a two-eyed beast;

The beast said that he originally had three eyes, but that his sight was so good that no one could ever get past him, and for that reason, one of them was taken from him.

There was once a certain group who claimed that the greatest danger of talk is that it makes you believe that you've just had a thought.
