Everything is Perfect
“Choose knowledge for the sake of knowledge over achievement. We are in an achievement-oriented society. We judge and value people based on their achievements. But most of the people who get caught up in that trap – always trying to “get ahead” – their reward for that is almost always high blood pressure, ulcers, early deaths and even things like cancer. Remember, it’s a perfect universe. There’s no stress in it. Only people thinking stressful thoughts.”
Gobiesocidae
These little fishies live in shallow waters and can actually live up to four or five days on land!
Cute Desert Brush
I went for a walk between teaching classes today. It was 114 degrees. I spotted a bunch of cute desert brush plants.
Don’t Miss it
“True joy is made up of many, many, many small moments. If you wait six months for the big thing (for example, a vacation abroad), you miss all the beautiful small moments.”
– Eckhart Tolle
Delight
“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”
The final line of his poem, “On Clothes” by Kahlil Gibran

Succulents
This incredibly slow-growing plant is often compared to aloe. Its contrasting white striations against its dark green leaves make it a popular houseplant and a trendy way to decorate your home or even office desk. It is easy to maintain but keep it away from direct sunlight or deep shade. It only needs watering about once a month, and if you’re lucky, the Zebra cactus will flower during the summer if given the proper living conditions throughout the year. (FTD.com)
