two deeply meaningful quotes...

Just want to share two deeply meaningful quotes.

The first is from an anonymous source. It is anonymous because I don't know which sexy mountaineering book Jeryl snagged it from when he shared it with me. The second quote is from the ancient church father Ignacio. I want to drink in both each day and live by the depth of their meaning...

"The life you want to live has no recipe. Following the recipe got you here in the first place.
Mix one high school diploma with an undergrad degree and a college sweetheart. With a whisk blend two cars, a poorly built house in a cul de sac, and 50 hours a week working for a board that doesn't give a shit about you. Reproduce once. Then again. Place all the ingredients in a rut. or a grave. One is a bit longer than the other. Bake thoroughly until the resulting life is set. Rigid. With no way out. Serve and enjoy.
Live the lifestyle instead of paying lip service to the lifestyle. Live with commiment. With emotional content. Live whatever life you choose honestly. Give up renaissance man, dilettante bullshit of doing a lot of different thiings. Get to the guts of one thing: accept, without casuistry, the responsibility of making a choice. When you live honestly, you can not separate your mind from your body, or your thoughts from your actions."

"They think I do not know a buttload of crap about the Gospel, but I do!"
