If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

You will remember when a bird crashed through the window and fell to the floor. you will remember, those of you who were there, how it jerked its wings before dying, and left a spot of blood on the floor after it was removed. but who among you was first to notice the negative bird it left in the window? who first saw the shadow that the bird left behind, the shadow that drew blood from any finger that dared to trace it, the shadow that was better proof of the bird's existence than the bird ever was?

Early bird oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird and catch the worm for your breakfast plate. if you’re a bird, be an early bird— but if you’re a worm, sleep late.

It is possible i never learned the names of birds in order to discover the bird of peace, the bird of paradise, the bird of the soul, the bird of desire. it is possible i avoided learning the names of composers and their music the better to close my eyes and listen to the mystery of all music as an ocean. it may be i have not learned dates in history in order to reach the essence of timelessness. it may be i never learned geography the better to map my own routes and discover my own lands. the unknown was my compass. the unknown was my encyclopedia. the unnamed was my science and progress.

Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report written on birds that he'd had three months to write, which was due the next day. we were out at our family cabin in bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books about birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. then my father sat down beside him put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, "bird by bird, buddy. just take it bird by bird.
Brother Father Book
A fish swims in the ocean, and no matter how far it swims there is no end to the water. a bird flies in the sky, and no matter how far it flies there is no end to the air. however the fish and the bird have never left their elements. thus each of them totally covers its full range, and each of them totally experiences its realm... know that water is life and air is life. the bird is life and the fish is life. life must be the bird and life must be the fish... practice, enlightenment and people are like this.

Erie, and ontario, and huron, and superior, and michigan possess an ocean-like expansiveness, with many of the ocean's noblest traits... they are swept by borean and dismasting blasts as direful as any that lash the salted wave; they know what shipwrecks are, for out of sight of land, however inland, they have drowned full many a midnight ship with all its shrieking crew.
Ocean Sight Land
When you are a young person, you are like a young creek, and you meet many rocks, many obstacles and difficulties on your way. you hurry to get past these obstacles and get to the ocean. but as the creek moves down through the fields, it becomes larges and calmer and it can enjoy the reflection of the sky. it's wonderful. you will arrive at the sea anyway so enjoy the journey. enjoy the sunshine, the sunset, the moon, the birds, the trees, and the many beauties along the way. taste every moment of your daily life.
