But when you are miserable you travel a lot, stirring up clouds of dust.
Ego scenes hiding us from the fact of what we are: money, power, glory, fame, big house, big car, 100,000 acres, 4000 cows, 86 horses, purebred dogs, jewels, clothes, titles, big deals at your job, pedigreed friends, high-society, names in papers, eating too much, drinking too much.

PHILOSOPHICAL STATEMENTS
Twenty-five years ago today:
June 23, 1987
Tuesday
I forfeited the gym visit tonight. I spent the evening with ma and pa. I had dinner with them and then simply went home to shower and get ready for bed. It was a delight to be at home.
Mike Miller is back in town. He’s all depressed and disgruntled from the collapse of his so-called relationship with that gal.
“I was in love with her,” Mike said.
If you ask me, he’s much better off without her.
Johnny called again. We are going to Big Basin on Friday night. We’ll also go to Big Sur on Saturday night. I never go camping, so it should be fun.
Make something beautiful of your life.
