Re: Mind's Eye Spirituality

I've found the best thing a man can do is work hard and keep his mouth
shut, keeps us out of trouble at home and work. Afraid mine is of little
use here, it is silent and numb to me for the time being. It can be
peaceful, knowing what one has to do, and many thoughts to set aside is
a burden. This might be me signing off for a while, all the ideas here
are very inspiring and disruptive, normally something I cherish.

Be well and godspeed
