Advent Begins Today

This borys hede we brying with song
In worchyp of hym that thus sprang
Of a virgine to redresse all wrong;
Nowell, nowelle.

- From an old English Chirstmas carol

Today is the first Sunday in Advent. A preparation day to make all things new. To look forward to the coming of the King and what truly lies within your very soul. May this Holy Season bring you inner peace and a sense of mission. May it also bring you much joy and celebration! Remember, life is good all the time, it's just up to us to make it so.
Peace,
Sir Hook of Warrick

Pour forth - I cannot bless a life that does not act as a channel. My Spirit brooks no stagnation, not even in rest. Its Power must flow on. Pass on everything, every blessing. See how many you can bless each day.
--Two Listeners
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
-Confucius
In how many churches, by how many prophets, tell me, is man made sensible that he is an infinite Soul; that the earth and heavens are passing into his mind; that he is drinking forever the soul of God?
-Emerson
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
-Psalm 16:11

Limerick Meets Beaver Creek

One thing that has not changed about Sir Richard is his Lion Heart; however, today finds him in strange lands and therefore he has become all things new, thus a new name must be granted. Still armed with a generous heart, hearty laugh and undying faith, Sir Richard has seen many battles with this humble Knight of Moleskine, Spirit and Ale. So, in honor of his dedication to all we stand for, his absolute friendship and his new way of life we hereby proclaim him as Sir Richard Lion Heart of Beaver Creek. May the creeks in his life always be easy to cross, flowing with Mead and teaming with Beaver!
Blessings!

Wells Cathedral

This is a picture of Wells Cathedral. Not that I'm overly proud that it is named after my family, or that my family was from the area, or that I think it's the best five letter word invented by mankind; but I do find the setting appropriate to share some quotes of the day to send us weekend warrriors into battle. After all, today is the end of Hurricane Season, so we have to create our own!
To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.
-Confucius
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
-Emerson
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
-Proverbs 16:18
Learn to shut yourself away in My Presence - and then, without speaking, you have those things you desire of Me, Strength - Power - Joy - Riches.
--Two Listeners
If you think you can do a thing or that you cannot do a thing, in either case you are right.
~ Henry Ford
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
-Romans 12:21
We ourselves are not an illusory part of Reality; rather are we Reality itself illusorily conceived. - Fingers Pointing Toward the Moon by Wei Wu Wei

Blessings & Cheers,
