Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 OM NAMAH SIVAYA got this email today, thought it was nice, so am passing it along. Let your mistakes be a comma, and not a period. For those of us who could use a quick refresher course in punctuation, a comma is used to either set off some element of the sentence from what preceded it, or followed it, or both, or it's used to separate two elements the same way a pause or rise in voice inflection would separate the words when speaking. A period, on the other hand, means the end. Period. For those of us who could use a life course refresher, a mistake situates itself between what precedes it and what follows it. It's a pause, a chance for us to change the tone of our life, and a perfect reminder that the time has come to bring our lives back into alignment. Just as a comma is a tool for making the written word easier for us to understand, so is a mistake a learning tool we can use to change the direction our life has taken. A mistake is never a period. Unless we choose to see it that way. May all your mistakes be commas in the story of the better life you are creating. ~ Author Unknown JAI MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks, I needed that. Now, however, I'm obsessing about the analogies to be made with question marks, exclamation points, colons, semi-colons, ellipses, and dashes... AAR... Didn't Amma say something along the lines of this in the film -- that death is like putting a period at the end of a sentence, and then "the soul" moves on to its next expression -- or something akin? loveprashanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
