In the very quote that inspired the title of this blog, Rene Daumal penned a profound though: “You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again.” The purpose of the climb is to reach the summit and…
I enjoy Denver Snuffer’s books and his blog where you can glean some wonderful little nuggets from time to time. I thought the following quote was great advice: “It is in the private, unobserved moments when you learn the most…
I wrote about this back in 2011. They’ve known cheese contains high concentrations of opiates (casomorphins) for a long time. Ever wonder why fast foods always have so much cheese (double cheese this, triple cheese that, cheese-lovers, etc.)? Yeah, might…
I came across this post the other day that had some interesting perspectives on repentance. How many Saints are focused way too much on the “subtraction” aspect of the repentance process? How many are locked in guilt-laden cycles focused on ceasing behavior…
