The Mystery song

The Mystery spoken by a child

"I guess, in reality, we're all mysteries, even to ourselves. Perhaps, that's why Alice is so inexplicably relatable."

The Mad Hatter: "There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter. [picks up his hat] Which luckily I am." provided by Cody

"A Zen-inspired blend of meditation, breathing exercises and focus techniques are in vogue in corporate America—championed by blue-chip employers like Google Inc. and General Mills Inc. as a simple but potent mind-sharpening tool."

Best and Worst": LISTENING:

Alice: "I don't think they can hear me … I feel somehow as if I was getting invisible.""

Meeting the Cheshire Cat, Alice was "feeling very glad she had someone to listen to her."

Mariah cites Covey: "When we're communicating with one another, we need to give full attention, to be completely present."

review end of chapter nine of Looking Glass

Take care of yourself!' screamed the White Queen, seizing Alice's hair

with both her hands. 'Something's going to happen!'

And then (as Alice afterwards described it) all sorts of things happened

in a moment. The candles all grew up to the ceiling, looking something

like a bed of rushes with fireworks at the top.

As to the bottles, they each took a pair of plates, which they hastily fitted on as wings, and

so, with forks for legs, went fluttering about in all directions: 'and

very like birds they look,' Alice thought to herself,

as well as she could in the dreadful confusion that was beginning.

At this moment she heard a hoarse laugh at her side, and turned to see

what was the matter with the White Queen; but, instead of the Queen,

there was the leg of mutton sitting in the chair.

'Here I am!' cried a voice from the soup tureen, and Alice turned again, just in time to see the Queen's broad good-natured face grinning at her for a moment over the edge of the tureen, before she disappeared into the soup.

There was not a moment to be lost. Already several of the guests were

lying down in the dishes, and the soup ladle was walking up the table towards Alice's chair, and beckoning to her impatiently to get out of its way.

'I can't stand this any longer!' she cried as she jumped up and seized

the table-cloth with both hands: one good pull, and plates, dishes,

guests, and candles came crashing down together in a heap on the floor.
