I recently read Golf in the Kingdom, by Michael Murphy. One does not need to be a golfer to find it of interest. Here are some un-golf-related quotes from this very unique and mystical book that caused me to stop and think and that you, too, might want to ponder:
All of our experience is full of anticipations.
The left and right sides of the brain at times need to readjust their marriage.
One of the beauties of sport is the inspirational heart-stopping move that reminds us of possibilities yet unguessed.
Learn how to strike a fine balance between the disciplined and the inspired.
Postponement can get to be a disease.
Moral entropy is often taken for nirvana.
There’s no better way to slay a dragon than to charge right up to it and shove a spear down its throat.
[How often we are]poised at last on insight’s very edge.
We need to be alive to the other edge of possibility.
You bring your entire past into every transaction.
Some people have an enormous ratio of talk to skill.
[Our challenge is] to fulfill the Boswellian task destiny has given [us].
Everything in life is potentially something more.
Everything is full of messages.
The world is a passage back to God; that is the only reason it is here.
Life is taking us on a mighty journey, if we will only go.
[We should] guide our [motives, etc.] in the Godward direction.
Behind every invention stands a withered human faculty.
Benjamin Franklin [noted] that his body ‘will appear once more in a new and more elegant edition revised and corrected by the author.
The great gate of charity is wide open with no obstacles before it.

I will pass this on to Mike. After his game last Saturday he quit but then last night he repented and had a better game today. After all: "wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round." 1 N. 10:19
