Why don’t you climb down off the cross, take the wood to build a bridge, and get over it Picture Quote #1

If you want to be a yogi, you must be free, and place yourself in circumstances where you are alone and free from all anxiety. One who desires a comfortable and nice life and at the same time wants to realize the Self is like the fool who, wanting to cross the river, caught hold of a crocodile, mistaking it for a log of wood Picture Quote #1

I turned my head and saw the wind, Not far from where I stood, Dragging the corn by her golden hair, Into a dark and lonely wood Picture Quote #1

Woodworking requires a completely different kind of thinking and problem-solving ability than writing.
