Weather of the Mind 2016 Remix Day 2

The book opens with these two quotes.  I can read these two quotes every day as a meditation.  So powerful, so potent.  

“And it never failed that during the dry years the people forgot about the rich years,
and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years.”

– John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: 
first, by reflection, which is noblest; 
second, by imitation, which is easiest;
 and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

- Confucius
