Today I finally did something I've been meaning to do for over a decade, kept saying I was going to do it, but today it finally got done. I put in an application for my very first passport. I should have it in hand in 4 to 6 weeks. If nothing else, I can now go to Canada again if I wish to. It will also give me more travel mobility. So today I'm quite proud of myself. #Accomplishment

What Did I Accomplish Today?
What is the

measure
of a
good day?
Accomplishment
can be a strange
idol.
It promises
peace
after one more
task,
one more sermon,
one more song,
one more post,
one more
finished
thing.
But then
the day
ends,
and my soul
still has to
live
with itself.
Here in the
twilight,
rather than
asking
what I have
done,
a better
measure
might be:
Did I become
more free today?
Did I become
less bitter?
Did I tell
the truth?
Did I release
what was
not mine
to carry?
Did I move
even slightly
toward
love?
A clear mind
and
a better heart
may be
holier than
a completed
checklist.
So maybe
my evening prayer
is simply this:
Lord,
I release the day.
I release what I finished
and what I failed to finish.
Clear my mind.
Soften my heart.
Let me sleep as one who is loved,
not as one who must prove his worth.
Amen -
A quotation from Thomas Carlyle
The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish something: the strongest, by dispensing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything. The drop, by continually falling, bores its passage through the hardest rock; the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar, and leaves no trace behind.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
The Life of Friedrich Schiller, Part 2 (1825)More about this quote: wist.info/carlyle-thomas/84047…

How much household stuff can you move across 8 states, 1600+ miles, in a Chevy Sonic? 🚗
A lot as my wife and I established in Nov. 2020 at the height of COVID. 🗓️ #throwback
Anyway, sad to say goodbye to that car today. 🎁 #donation

Folks like to connect sentiments with colours. They say, #green is the #colour of #hope. I find green and #blue elevating and inspiring. This #door and building remind me that a home is for #comfort and #safety. Inspiration from old fortifications -> safety. Grand spaces feel intimidating. When owned, one will defend out of #fear, not #pride, nor from a sense of #accomplishment. Small homes please with #comfort & a sense of #belonging.

Man, did #India smoke #NewZealand in the T20 World Cup final. 😲🏏🏆🇮🇳
Plus, the first team to win the cup:
- at home
- back-to-back
- three timesAnd Bumrah's bowling: 4/15 in 4 overs? In a T20? Finals no less? That's test match figures. Just unreal.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
In the life of the artist there need be no hour without its pleasure. I take the author, with whose career I am best acquainted; and it is true he works in a rebellious material, and that the act of writing is cramped and trying both to the eyes and the temper; but remark him in his study, when matter crowds upon him and words are not wanting — in what a continual series of small successes time flows by; with what a sense of power as of one moving mountains, he marshals his petty characters; with what pleasures, both of the ear and eye, he sees his airy structure growing on the page; and how he labours in a craft to which the whole material of his life is tributary, and which opens a door to all his tastes, his loves, his hatreds, and his convictions, so that what he writes is only what he longed to utter. He may have enjoyed many things in this big, tragic playground of the world; but what shall he have enjoyed more fully than a morning of successful work? Suppose it ill paid: the wonder is it should be paid at all. Other men pay, and pay dearly, for pleasures less desirable.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman Who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

It is one of the most difficult yet necessary things in life to learn to disdain. Disdain protects and crushes. It is a breastplate and a club. You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything, which shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do not bother yourself about it; disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear. Do not give your enemies the satisfaction of thinking that they cause you grief or pain. Be happy, be cheerful, be disdainful, be firm.
[C’est une des choses les plus difficiles et les plus nécessaires de la vie que d’apprendre à dédaigner. Le dédain protège et écrase. C’est une cuirasse et une massue. Vous avez des ennemis? Mais c’est l’histoire de tout homme qui a fait une action grande ou créé une idée neuve. C’est la nuée qui bruit autour de tout ce qui brille. Il faut que la renommée ait des ennemis comme il faut que la lumière ait des moucherons. Ne vous en inquiétez pas; dédaignez! Ayez la sérénité dans votre esprit comme vous avez la limpidité dans votre vie. Ne donnez pas à vos ennemis cette joie de penser qu’ils vous affligent et qu’ils vous troublent. Soyez content, soyez joyeux, soyez dédaigneux, soyez fort.]Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Diary (1845-12-07), “Villemain,” Things Seen [Choses Vues], Vol. 1 (1887)More info about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/hugo-victor/12984/

[C’est une des choses les plus difficiles et les plus nécessaires de la vie que d’apprendre à dédaigner. Le dédain protège et écrase. C’est une cuirasse et une massue. Vous avez des ennemis? Mais c’est l’histoire de tout homme qui a fait une action grande ou créé une idée neuve. C’est la nuée qui bruit autour de tout ce qui brille. Il faut que la renommée ait des ennemis comme il faut que la lumière ait des moucherons. Ne vous en inquiétez pas; dédaignez! Ayez la sérénité dans votre esprit comme vous avez la limpidité dans votre vie. Ne donnez pas à vos ennemis cette joie de penser qu’ils vous affligent et qu’ils vous troublent. Soyez content, soyez joyeux, soyez dédaigneux, soyez fort.]Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes, and seeing them gratified. He that labours in any great or laudable undertaking, has his fatigues first supported by hope, and afterwards rewarded by joy; he is always moving to a certain end, and when he has attained it, an end more distant invites him to a new pursuit.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic

There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
