Cauldron of Inspiration
Double, double toil & trouble fire burn; and cauldron bubble -Macbeth
The four beauties, music, fine food, poetry, and pleasant conversation.
Have you heard the story about how some people in India catch monkeys?
They cut a small hole in a sturdy box; then they put a tasty nut inside the box. The hole is just large enough for the monkey to put its hand through, but it's too small for the monkey to withdraw its hand once it has clutched the nut inside.
So the monkey has two choices. It can let go of the nut and go free, or it can clutch the nut and remain trapped. Monkeys usually hang onto the nut.
What do you hang on to? As long as you hang on, you cannot go free. And you remain trapped.
