Are thee Happy; Joyous; and Free?

That is the motto of The Republic of Mikes Hpe and his friends Bob and Bill.

Feel free to drop in some time for a cup of coffee or herbal tea.

sounds good to me

"Listen --
perhaps you catch a hint of an ancient state not quite forgotten; dim
perhaps, and yet not altogether unfamiliar, like a Song whose name is
long forgotten, and the circumstances in which you heard completely
unremembered... Listen, and see if you remember an Ancient Song you
knew so long ago and held more dear than any melody you taught
yourself to cherish since." ("A Course In Miracles")

Something deep within us stirs when we hear the call to Joy.
We have heard it before, at peak moments in our lives, but have
not answered. It is said, "The greatest tragedy in life is to die
with your music still in you." Too often, we live out our "lives
of quiet desperation," never tending to the song of the soul.

Does anyone from the NationStates region frequent this board?

Leaves ignore bomb :P

hi, i think i'll stop in for a cup of tea later.

It is said, "The greatest tragedy in life is to die with your music still in you."

I can think of worse ways to die than with a song in your heart.

Mmm, I'd love a cup of tea. I find that cinnamon and spiced apple is very enjoyable. You're all welcome to share it with me, along with some Chocolate cake if I can bring it along :D

Spirit of Athine where did that Wyrmberg quoted come from? it interests me quite truthful and poetic

It is always sad to feel that there is more you could have done, more music you could have brought to the world, more creative acts you could have made. But it is when you realise that the music has run out while you yet live, and you look out over the vista of empty years ahead of you, that you wonder whether an empty life is any better than an early death.

Interested in the concept, but too big, bad grammar and music....

Best wishes, though. KCB.

The entire quote which I cited is from a book entitled "Radical Joy"
by Todd Pressman.
