It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them. | |

More Than Satisfying Hunger
Posted in Diets, Family and Friends, Health, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged A Good Meal, Dr. Leo F. Buscaglia, Eating, Hearts, Hunger, Minds, Philosophy, Quotes, Satisfaction, Spells, Spirits on December 29, 2020| Leave a Comment »
When we sit at the table, there is more going on than satisfying hunger. It is sad to think of those who eat simply to satisfy their hunger and who do not permit themselves to linger under the many spells offered by a good meal – the satisfaction of our hearts, our minds and our spirits. | |

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free. | |

A single rose can be my garden… a single friend, my world. | |
― Leo Buscaglia | |
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. | |

There is an amusing story of a young man who decides he wants to learn how to better relate to others. He goes to a bookstore and is hard pressed to find anything to help him. He finally comes up a book that seem helpful. It is titled, “How to Hug.” When he returns home he finds that he has bought Volume Nine of an encyclopedia! | |

The Greatest Hazard
Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Dr. Leo F. Buscaglia, Philosophy, Quotes, Risk on July 3, 2019| Leave a Comment »
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. | |
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. | |
To reach out to another is to risk involvement. | |
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. | |
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. | |
To love is to risk not being loved in return. | |
To hope is to risk pain. | |
To try is to risk failure. | |
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. | |

Hate, among all our base instincts, is the most distinctly human. In animals, violence and venom are tools of survival; in humans, of supremacy. Small, scared people hate, self-hating people hate, bullied and betrayed people hate, as though hate will make them large and safe and strong. | |

I choose to love people, not to judge them. I want to experience them as they are, not as I would want them to be. I want to grow with them, allowing each new moment to tell its own story, rather than perceive it as a product of our past. I want us to search together for fresh alternatives to our incompleteness, to our negativity, to our deception, to our fear and to our despair. I don’t want us to spend our lives thinking about life and change and celebration. Rather, I want us to spend our lives celebrating and living and changing. And I never want to forget what the wonderful author William Saroyan reminded me of many years ago: People is all everything is – all it has ever been, and all it can ever be. People. You and me. Together in love. | |
