Miscelaneous Sunshine Of The Day

WORD OF THE DAY:  yen- -a strong desire or inclanation, a longing

JOKE OF THE DAY:   There were two guys working for the city. One would dig a hole -- he would dig, dig, dig.  The other would come behind him and fill the hole -- fill, fill, fill. These two men worked furiously; one digging a hole, the other filling it up again.  A man was watching from the sidewalk and couldn't believe how hard these men were working, but couldn't understand what they were doing. Finally he had to ask them.  He said to the hole digger, "I appreciate how hard you work, but what are you doing? You dig a hole and your partner comes behind you and fills it up again!"  The hole digger replied, "Oh yeah, must look funny, but the guy who plants the trees is sick today."

 QUOTE OF THE DAY: 

RUMI OF THE DAY:    We have a huge barrell of wine, but no cups.

                                That's fine with us.  Every morning

                                we glow and in the evening we glow again.

                                They say there's no future for us.  They're right.

                                Which is fine with us.

DAILYPRAYERONLINE'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:     More than ever today it makes sense to talk about one global community. Let us not descend to the violence of terrorists who have no respect for human life.

Rather let us remember that we are all connected, all linked across the world.

Gerard Hughes said once, 'When a baby throws its rattle out of the cradle, the planets rock. We are miniscule parts of a vast interlocking system dancing through space, affecting and being affected by everything around us'. Someone else said that dropping a stone in Sydney Harbour will have an effect, however small, on a whale in the Antarctic Ocean, even on a distant star. The poet Francis Thompson was absolutely right when he wrote in 'The Mistress of Vision':

All things by immortal power,
Near or far,
Hiddenly
To each other linked are,
Thou canst not stir a flower
Without troubling a star.
