Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 24, 2020

Brutal. Like life is…

…the worst teacher. It gives the test first and the lesson after.

WTF ?!?!? You witch !!!

The old gal has been watching too much Deepak!!!

What if the old woman is Kate, 60-70 years in the future?

But I was perfectly happy without bliss, serenity and true contentment.

First thing on the list is SURVIVING the “road to serenity”.

Speak softly and carry a walking stick.

Bliss….being unselfish and other directed as a goal, divest yourself of material possessions….appreciate all the abundant things in nature.

Sort of a ripoff of Harrison Ford going for the Holy Grail

First, I hope Wiley is safe and well. Second, thanks, Wiley, for this attempt to lighten the spirit. It is badly needed. Third, folks, don’t forget the role of serendipity in the process of discovering oneself. It often makes the difference between one life path and another.

Like to see the Old Bat try that with Danae.

Where’s Petey?

Hey Wiley. We know these are all reprints.

What the heck is “follow your bliss”? Honestly!

Grandma needs some grandkids to torment.

following our bliss? Sorry, what I do for bliss doesn’t pay the bills. And I kinda like having a roof over my head and food in my fridge.

sorry (not sorry) but the word Serenity is perma-reserved lamenting Joss Whedon’s Fox-cancelled waay too soon Firefly TV series, sniff. #YouCan’tTakeTheSkyFromMe

leap of faith or having faith is just a way to take advantage of fear and ignorance.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt

One of my favorite songs — Follow Your Road by Seawind

And so the mother Eagle pushes the Eaglet from the nest..and the Eaglet flies!

Don’t you think the old woman IS Kate?

Yeah, like there’s ONE path and it’s pointed out.

And a 14 year old has a clue what her bliss is. Usually it’s something about catching a boy’s eye.

This broken nose – leap of faith. This leg scar – leap of faith. That bankruptcy – leap of faith. Will I leap again? Sure, I never broke my faith.

I’m not seeking contentment. Turmoil is much more invigorating.

My bliss is eating, doing puzzles and sleeping. No one has paid me for any of those so far.

So are there no single-panel ones anymore?

And the lesson for today…“Dissipation of Energy”…don’t make me do this twice.

Life does throw you out of balance and you come to know that it was for your own betterment later on! The teacher is right on spot.

Granny Alice is one Mean old broad.

Awww.. I thought the road to Serenity would lead to a Firefly-class spaceship…

Worst GPS device of all time
