Love the Japanese symbol, looked for an image of this quote and took an immediate shine to this photo http://www.presentationzen.com/.a/6a00d83451b64669e201a73d953b09970d-500wi Reply

Loved the link CityVP Manjit. Watched it again with pleasure. I also remembered the following (doesn't have Rocky's "punch" but a good reminder none the less): 七転び八起き Nanakorobi yaoki Literally: Fall seven times and stand up eight Meaning: When life knocks you down, stand back up; What matters is not the bad that happened, but what one does after.

Agreed that the " “why” and “for whom” are so intertwined," Lada Prkic. I also think that the "who" may be someone who doesn't realize he or she feels or thinks the same way until he or she reads what your write. Reply

It's actually from a written note Groucho Marks sent to a comedian's club declining their invitation. Reply

I had to share this as a Buzz CityVP Manjit. Thank you for your response. Reply

When I walk into a public library I feel like I have the whole world on the tip of my finger and all I need is the will to touch that world and become one with it. My time sense then becomes one where I lose the sense of time and in this I feel most alive. Then my consciousness returns to the unconscious, because in a library it is rare to find another who walks into with wonder, the majority walk into a public library with an objective, which is to take out a book or books. Opening a book opens another world of wonder unless we wish to consume knowledge, and consumption of knowledge makes for a world obese in ideas rather than free in flow. When I look at the image to this buzz of all the social media symbols they begin to look like the bars of a prison and yet the key to this prison is not on the other side where freedom is but within me and so I am not seeing posts and I am not seeing in times, in this very moment I see wonder again because for me this is a virtual public library combined with learning laboratory. For sure when I leave the public library or the virtual one here I return to the demands of the world and the realities of the flesh. Humankind should keep their feet grounded where there is physical ground but learn to fly where there is imagination. If we do too much of the former we remain buried by the demands that are very real demands and if we do too much of the latter we can lose our minds and get lost in our own flow - so flow as Mihaly said is not just a sense of wonder, it must be held in balance with the supply and demand that is the functionings of the world. What I write and what I don't write is either flow or presence - I can't subscribe others to do this because this is their choice. Our flow can create our own prison or it can create our own freedom.
