Do not concentrate on the finger
Our philosophical thought for the day comes from a recent email conversation I had with a former work colleague who has gone on to government work, thus creating all sorts of new time for himself for longer writing.
“In Enter the Dragon,” my friend writes, “Bruce Lee has a short chat with a lad about life. He states that life is like a finger pointing to the moon. The young lad looks at Bruce’s finger and gets a slap around the head which Bruce accompanies with the words ‘Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.’ It looks better on the screen, but you get my point. If we don’t dream then what is all that effort and work actually contributing towards.”

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”
