A Soulful Journey

An Israeli joke tells of Yossi and Shmulik sitting at a café in Tel Aviv drinking coffee all day. Yossi explains, “We have to watch our caffeine intake.  Too much and it interferes with our sleep at the office.” We cannot be happy unless we are productive.  Think about what makes you most happy.  Isn't it when you are creating?

Three tortoises went out for walk.   One said: “Let’s have a cup of coffee.”   They went into a restaurant when it began to rain. The oldest tortoise said, “Would you mind going home and getting an umbrella?” “Sure.   As long as you don’t drink my coffee.”   They promised and the friend set out. The other two waited. And waited. Two years passed. “Well,” said the elder.   “I guess he’s not coming back. Might as well dink his coffee.” Just then a voice came from the back door, “If you drink it I won’t go.”   - Gerald Zelizer
