"Life is holiness and everyday humdrum, sadness and laughter, the mind and the belly all mixed together. The Great Spirit doesn't want us to sort them out neatly...
...We were doing something sacred, but this didn't mean we shouldn't laugh while we gathered wood for the fire."
- Leonard Crow Dog
"For the discerning priest,
all of sacred lore
has no more value than a well
when water flows everywhere."
- The Bhagavad-Gita 2:46
"The truth is one,
but the wise see it in many ways."
- The Rig Veda 1.164.46
hello friends, confidants, and estranged internet surfers...
welcome one and all to my blog. my name is paul. i have also been known under the name maverick. in the following series of entries, you are likely to be entertained, though perhaps not, perhaps insulted... or maybe even encouraged. thoughts might be provoked or born, you may laugh, you may cry, but these are the interests and musings of paul chartrand. tread forth with a wary toe (i made that expression up just now.. impressive, isn't it.. a hint of the marvellous wonders that await your wit and intellectual senses..).
