Lessons

The idea that we stay in the school of life that is constantly in session sounds about right. We can only hope for soft landings, learning and re learning things that make us better and beautiful, a blessing to others and figuring out smart ways to make room for more good things to live by until we are proficient in what it is we are individually and collectively called to do.

Love, the most important class taught at all ages from beginners to masters who wish to improve upon the most fundamental of all human experiences and bare necessities.

When God Created Mothers

by Erma Bombeck

When God was creating mothers, He was into his sixth day of “overtime” when an angel appeared and said, “You’re doing a lot of fiddling around on this one.” And the Lord said, “Have you read the specs on this order?

She has to be completely washable, but not plastic;

Have 180 movable parts... all replaceable;

Run on black coffee and leftovers;

Have a lap that disappears when she stands up;

A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair;

And six pairs of hands.”

The angel shook her head slowly and said, “Six pairs of hands... no way.” “It’s not the hands that are causing me problems,” said the Lord. “It’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have.” “That’s on the standard model?” asked the angel.

The Lord said, “I’m so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick... can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger... and can get the twins to take a bath.” The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. “It’s too soft,” she sighed. “But she’s tough!” said the Lord excitedly. “You cannot imagine what this mother can do or endure.” “Can it think?” “Not only can it think, but it can reason and compromise,” said the Creator.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek. “There’s a leak,” she pronounced. “I told You You were trying to push too much into this model.” “It’s not a leak,” said the Lord. “It’s a tear.” “What’s it for?” “It’s for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride.” “You are a genius,” said the angel. The Lord looked somber. “I didn’t put it there,” He said.

The Eye's Have It!

You're eyes have the capacity to see things or be blind to the obvious while happy, humble, innocent, soft and sad eyes can make you melt. In your beautiful eyes I see your joy, your pain, the spark the drive and darkness, the disappointment, doubt and delight.

I can tell when your mad, when something is bad.. when your glad. Your eyes broadcast the latest emotional development going on inside you, from the deepest, darkest, wildest thoughts to expressing the best and worst feelings. Indeed, your frame of mind at any given moment is revealed through the amazing array of sensory, optical and visual mechanics that make-up the eyes.
