Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit.<br /><br />“Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically.<br /><br />“We’ll see,” the farmer replied.<br /><br />The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses.<br />“How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed.<br />“We’ll see,” replied the old man.<br /><br />The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune.<br /><br />“We’ll see,” answered the farmer.<br /><br />The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out.<br /><br />“We’ll see” said the farmer."tedhttp://notesfromthenog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-66872379867406160512010-07-30T07:30:07.886-04:002010-07-30T07:30:07.886-04:00You ride.

Sideswiped? In the bike lane? Holy cow. Proof that nowhere's safe. (Recently, two cyclists in the area--different instances--were killed when vehicles drove UP on bike paths and hit them.) So glad you escaped serious injury here, also.<br /><br />I'm with ya there on having no idea what's going on. I don't believe that "everything happens for a reason," yet believe that random stuff just happens to random folks. However, I do believe (contradicting myself here?) that "what goes around, comes around"...like good fortune finding you, despite your recent mishaps. Ya know, Lucy knows these things, too...she said a while back that you had good karma. And she's pretty smart!<br /><br />So, what kinda new bike are ya getting?earthtohollyhttp://earthtoholly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-89907546386571641542010-07-29T17:54:10.234-04:002010-07-29T17:54:10.234-04:00ahhh Dr. Jay, loved the Charlie Brown cartoon, he ...ahhh Dr. Jay, loved the Charlie Brown cartoon, he *and I* do relate with you!! sorry life's been strange to you, i've been having a couple of strange days too, somebody came and stole a potted plant from the back of my house last night! it was heavy so they drove and got it... i couldn't believe that somebody would steal a palm here in San Diego, pot & all, oh well, i guess is life's way of teaching us some lessons? glad to know you are OK, i guess if we are breathing, then all of the rest will flow, maybe we can to learn more "detachment" and "trust"<br /><br />namaste Dr. Jay!bereweberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212294373903204510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-24729772853570591822010-07-29T17:44:25.715-04:002010-07-29T17:44:25.715-04:00It certainly has felt like one of those weeks at t...It certainly has felt like one of those weeks at times.

They both move toward the misfortune and watch it more closely, as opposed to running from it.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://YogaDemystified.com" rel="nofollow">Bob Weisenberg</a></b>Bob Weisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442738029941563325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-52311550041027118952010-07-29T13:32:46.927-04:002010-07-29T13:32:46.927-04:00You're Even Steven!

Maybe if all of us did just that, it would help in the mission of kindness. Mother Theresa said,"If we have no peace in the world, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." I think if we could remember this, we would make more attempts to practice kindness and respect.It's A Yoga Thanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161028629073261226noreply@blogger.com
