The Philosophy of Things.

For C.M. Croppish, my stone.
"A great life isn't about great huge things; it's about things."

Time can combine with things in order to birth things. I too have things. In this way I am like Time.

A thing draws upon the closest and the furthest. Be only one or the other.

Things cannot be divided nor can they be dissected. A thing is without parts.

A thing in a desert can survive the heat indefinitely. A thing under the sea can breath limitlessly. A thing without wings can fly forever. A thing without love is lost like a thumbtack in a vast forest.

Be neither with nor without things, for things are and are not what we are and are not.

Things care about things. Is this not why we still have things? A thing halved at birth cannot be. A thing multiplied eternally gives weight and ferver to a nation and beyond.

Despite changing economic climates, fashions, attitudes toward faith and evolution; things are the greatest things.

Even without guidance, things finds paths that a thing could never find.

A thing said this "I am yours but I am also mine." This statement ripples eternally through hearts and minds.

When searching for a thing, think of that thing's history. Where has it been most? Does it sit or stand? Will it fall? Then you will find your thing.

Decide before your thing that it is a thing and no dissapointments can arise.

Do not request of a thing. Do not say "may I?" "will you?" "can this fit?" Simply enter through the sides of existence.

A flower is a thing. Do you not see?

In the dawn of things, there were fewer things than there are now. Can one account for this through simple mathmatics? Answers exist in things, not ideas.

Broad views open many possibilities for things. Once things exist and flourish, they may understand. Once they understand, we may understand things.

Deny yourself things and your life will collapse like a paper house. Deny others things and the world becomes a paper house.

Speak quickly and accurately if you wish to create things with words; for words make thin bricks.

A thing on course can drift if not properly attended to. We are responsible for this attendance. For if not us, then who? Dogs? Grass?

The first step a thing can make is in the right direction. From there each step is in the wrong.

A thing can be used to destroy. It may also be used to create. It cannot be used to do both.

The wilds have taught us that things have power to lift and support. We must not forget this.

For a balloon to rise, other things must fall. Be aware of what things fall as you rise.

Six feet or five miles under ground; it is surely filled with things. Only in work for fantasy have men seen the thingless world.

Forget all you know of things less you wish to repeat them. Things are unlike memories in that they remain constant eternally.

Winter covers things in snow. This does nothing more than to conceal things, though they still exist. Do not let nature trick you. Things are always there.

Things can not float upon air. Some float upon water. Others sit upon earth. It is their right.

Do we not forgive things that wrong us? We should.

Be the thing you wish to be. Do the thing you wish to do. Eat the thing you wish to eat. Ride the thing you wish to ride. Burn the thing you wish to burn. Love the thing you wish to love. Tire the thing you wish to tire. Help the thing you wish to help. Free the thing you wish to free.

A thing in the sand is just a thing. A thing in the sky is higher.

When the world learns to love; then things will find their place.

A thing makes no sound. A thing sends no message. But a thing in practice can prevent disaster or build heaven.

Do not wait for a thing to end. For it is not time, nor space, nor even the winds of fancy that overturns a thing.

On all sides of a thing, things can be found. Just as a thing lives without purpose, so does its surrounding things.

Things can be set upon one another.

Free a thing and it shall came back to you ten-fold.

Beyond the walls of a thing lies its glory.

The setting sun casts shadows off of things. Carefully collect memories of these shadows and recount them to things as years pass.

The tennents of things are secret and cannot be shared with anyone. A lifelong search for these will find you nothing.

Do not play games with things. They have no time for games. Only quests will satisfy the curious soul of a thing.

A thing cannot replace another thing, nor can it exist in the same space. Things must exist seperately or not at all.

Things do not eat. Things do not sleep. Things cannot feel pain. Things do not want these attributes. Things cannot want.

If a thing falls from a tree and does not strike the ground, then it has gone to God.

Things clear and obscure through the passage of time. Only through careful consideration can one understand the true meaning of things and the truth of that meaning.

Answer clearly if you wish for a thing to hear you, for things require ennunication.

Once the certainty of a thing is determined, then man will be set free from his restrictive thoughts.

Things. Think about it and know.

Not snake, nor beast, nor love can stop a thing. For things know no love.

Enter a thing and you will know it. Exit a thing and it will know you.

While the wind blows, while children make decisions, while canned food remains canned, while bees mate, while flesh rots, things sit.

One may ask "How do well call things?" "What names for things are God-fond?" The answer lies within your hearts. Listen and you will hear no words. That is the true name for any thing.

The dirt is a thing. Ice is a thing. Love is not a thing.

Accept the estimation of things, for counting all things leaves a man blind and dumb.

Brass things reflect sunlight, if the climate allows. Changing directions can only affect things with purpose.

A thing in a time of joy is the sweetest delight. A thing in a time of misery is the devil's erection.

Once the spirit's flame is ignited, a thing has no boundaries.

If a man seeks to own all things, he will be deafened by the great siren of the things.

Each day brings new things. Each week brings more.

Delight in the things that bring you love, happiness and industry. Delight in the things that bring you wisdom, prudence and patience.

Never hide in the valley of things for your ideas will expose your infidelity. In the presence of things, such attributes are especially unsavory.

Things desire not of other things; for things have solidarity.

The most important things are within. For within is where things greet things with cheerfulness.

Language forms bonds between things and ideas. In that bond, dreams are illuminated in rouge.

Nations may fight over things but things know no demarcation. A french thing resembles a Chilean thing. A thing knows not race nor nationality.

A furtive look toward a thing may evoke excitement, but things maintain integrity throughout the ages.

Nightengales sign for god just as things sing for things.

Seekers discovering new things speak excitedly about the next things to discover.

While men show faults and insecurities, things do not. Align yourself with the way of things, for it is superior.

Save the things that cannot or will not save themselves. A thing's knowledge is limited beyond that of man.

Selling things is not wrong per se, but you must show respect to the things being bought or sold.

Do not pray to or for things. They are free of sin already.

If a thing were king, then the kingdom would be comprised of ideas.

The greatest elixer is a thing. In times of hardship, turn to things for guidance.

Man's lasting image will be carved in things.

Add a thing to your life each day and at night remove one thing. The balance of things requires understanding and effort.

A great life isn't about great huge things. It's about things.
