"Never demean the suffering of others by comparison with your own mild inconveniences"

@Jazzer my friend. Super severe tinnitus is not easy to cope with. I'm sorry for all of us - you - me and others that have this monster at an extreme level. Having other physical problems with pain adds to the dreadfulness.

It's not really a quote but this poem by Robert Frost really resonated with me:

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.​

 

[Greg Sacramento]

@Lynny I love that poem. I had posted twice about it.

This is beautiful, @Lynny. My favorite line is...

"The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake."

Oh how peaceful it would be to venture into the woods and hear nothing but easy wind.....

"You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do."

"The man who knows his limitations, has none."

 

[Jazzer]

"Accusing those that suffer, of negativity,
is proof of both ignorance
and inhumanity"

 

[emmalee]

I longed for real silence
the kind you can't find
but stumble upon
in some cabin
somewhere
on a lake without a moon
where you hear the cigarette burn
and the candles flicker
and your mind dances alive
to the symphonies in the black.

"The situation of our time
Surrounds us like a baffling crime."
W.H. Auden, "The New Year Letter"
I find this to be especially germane not only to the World Situation
but to my own Tinnitus Interior State of Mind.

Also, regarding our current political situation:
"Winners have no shame, no matter how they win."
Niccolo Machiavelli

And finally, regarding the possibility of getting Lenire next year and it's actually working:
"Who can look into the seeds of time
And tell which grains will grow
And which will not."

From Macbeth

"When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does."
― Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

L.M. had this amazing ability to absolutely inhabit the mindset of her characters, I think.

Thanks for the morning chuckle, @JohnAdams.

You are so right, @Manny. I am also a huge fan of the Anne of Green Gables series, in fact, I have no less than three copies of her book, all in various stages of wear.

L.M. was a fellow Canadian, she did us all proud.
