Today's Weather: Frost

Today's little tidbit in my Zen Day by Day calendar was from your friend and mine, Robert Frost.

You'll remember that Frost stopped by the woods on a snowy evening to contemplate two diverging paths. He's one of those rare poets who actually had some measure of fame and notoriety before he died. It's not easy to be a famous poet.

Anyway, today's bit of wisdom was this:

The only way out is through.


It's a good message, both for the next three weeks when my boss is away, and my work load will pretty much double, and for the current state of the economy. It's a good message for just about anything this old life can throw at us.

The more we try to avoid the reality of the situation, the harder it'll be.

It's gonna work out, so you might as well just relax and go with it.

I love it. "The only way out is through."

Yepparoo.

It is always the things that are said in the shortest amount of words that are packed with so much wisdom.
