Wisdom from George Carlin

always worth reading again!
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less. We buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've  learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips,disposable diapers, throwaway morality, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind."

Tian Di Bamboo Massage now offered!

Now offered by our experienced massage therapist Kelly Carpenter!

Invigorate and detoxify yourself. Tian Di - “heaven and earth” - massage was created to help us maintain the harmony between the earthly component of our bodies and the heavenly aspect of our minds. This rejuvenating 90-minute massage technique incorporates the use of various sized bamboo sticks, Chinese cupping, and Gua sha. Massage with bamboo sticks enhances circulation, relaxes and realigns muscle fibers, encourages relaxation, and releases stagnancy from the body. Cupping uses vacuum-like devices to deeply work acupressure points and sweep away any toxins that surface from the bamboo massage. Gua sha promotes vitality and flow as our therapist works along the surface of the skin using a round-edged instrument. It is not unusual for clients to continue to feel the positive effects of this treatment many days after receiving it.

90 minute sessions are available. $115

30 minutes of Chinese Cupping also available. $45
