Top 7 advice that every parent should borrow from Sadhguru

Don’t preach values, live them Instead of giving lectures on honesty, compassion, or discipline, Sadhguru insists on embodying those values every day. Children silently observe more than they obey, and they absorb character through presence, not words.

"You want to #borrow my ID badge again?" The detective scowled at the shadow-cloaked figure. "What do you plan to #steal this time?"

"No, no. That was a one-off." Light glinted off a scythe. "I'm here for, how do you mortals put it... Ah! My day job."

"Oh." The detective stepped aside.

Shortly after, the rookie arrived, out of breath. "Sir! Are you alright?"

"Me? Yes, of course." He continued examining the corpse. "Can't say the same for this chap, though."

5/5

We borrow this time,
If we don’t to use it well,
Last out’s gonna pay.

@stevencudahy @poetry

Wrapped in borrowed jumper blue
I'm swaddled in your scent
The fibre with your form imbued
The sweetest of torments

Though I borrowed oft from you
Each treasure was returned
But what I gave, I bade adieu
E'en though each gift was spurned

And unbeknownst you have it still
Though decades since bestowed
This truth revealed when I fell ill
All given, nothing owed

TIME TRAVELLERS

My son thinks I look like a time traveller
In the hat he gave me and the suit one
Of my daughters gifted me. I’ve never
Been able to lie, so I tell him I really am
One, come from places I can’t recall,
Seen faces I can’t forget, and borrowed
Lives I’d rather not have lived before
Now and after now. I’m not sure he
Believes me. The ages carry traces
Of us all.

“Can I #borrow some thyme?” It was the new neighbour.

“Sure... let me check my spice rack.”

“No, not the herb. Time. An hour should do.”

“You need my help for an hour?” I asked, puzzled.

“No, I just need an hour. Look, are you busy this evening?”

“Not really.”

“So let me take an hour. I’ll return it. What day are you really busy?”

“Well, I have a big meeting tomorrow. But was does that--”

“Tomorrow it is. Thank you,” he left quickly.

OK, weird neighbour. I glanced at the kitchen clock. 9:15, how could that be? It had just gone 8 when he knocked. Had I dozed off?

I spent the morning busily preparing for the meeting. I was all set when the boss came in and asked me to prepare something else.

“You must be joking! The meeting is in 20 minutes!”

“No, it’s in an hour and 20 minutes, at 12 noon. Good news, it looks like you gained an hour!”

#Trump has…demanded the #House ditch items that #Democrats negotiatied. He also requested #Republicans extend the suspension of the #DebtCeiling, a limit on how much the #US govt can #borrow, which is set to expire early in his new term next year.

#MikeJohnson had introduced #legislation to extend federal funding until March 14, send $110.4B to natural disaster survivors & codify a host of unrelated #policy changes.…

This shows how many superfluous things people consider important and how well we are persuaded to own certain things.

Now, we mainly pass on rubbish to our children because the durability of everything has become so poor. In return, we have spent our lives acquiring much more and creating huge amounts of (problem) waste. Appreciation would help on so many levels...

In Old Rauma, there’s this cute cabinet where you can freely borrow books to read. I think this is a great way to share the joy of reading with the neighborhood. It’s also been nice to notice that this isn’t the only example of this; I’ve also found a similar box in Turku where you can bring and take books. #Books #Reading #Borrow #Bookstodon #PhonePhotography #OldRauma #VanhaRauma

A quotation from McCracken, Elizabeth:

«
Library books were, I suddenly realized, promiscuous, ready to lie in the arms of anyone who asked. Not like bookstore books, which married their purchasers, or were brokered for marriages to others.
