Dusty Quote of the Day

Welcome to these Dusty Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.

What if we like our outrageous side best?
We "know" that the "right" thing to do is to suck it up,
put the costume and the happy face back in storage for another year,
re-dress in our frown and gray flannel suit,
and trudge back to job, chores, "responsibilities," and "duty."
Stop! Maybe TODAY is the day to put the frown and gray flannel
into that dusty storage locker, and start to LIVE.
Not just today, but EVERY DAY for the rest of your life!
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

burdened by the projections of the future,
you go on living - at the minimum.
You dont live at the maximum.
Your flame remains very dim.

the dust that you have collected in the past,
the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young.

and a flame without any smoke.
That is what awareness is.
