Good health is
not something we can buy. However, it can
be an extremely valuable savings
account.
|
|
It is possible to be
different and still be all right. There can be
two--or more--answers to the same question, and all can be
right.
Perfectionism is
self-abuse of the highest order.

We have finally started to
notice that there is real curative value
in local herbs and remedies. In fact, we are also becoming aware
that there are little or no side effects to most natural remedies,
and that they are often more effective than Western medicine.
Thank
Goodness I have walked in circles long enough to wear the soles of my shoes so
thin that the diamonds on which I stand can now get my attention.

When we see ourselves as we truly are--divinely perfect
human beings
struggling to live out the gifts of spirituality--we have an
opportunity
to crack open the door of compassion a bit. When we can
compassionately
see that we fumble, we make mistakes, or that we are (if
only faintly and
occasionally!) aware of a goodness within us that we do not
always know
how to express, we start to be aware of feelings of
compassion for ourselves. Once we are aware of compassion for ourselves, it is only a
very
short step to begin to feel compassion for others.

|
We
are always surrounded by doors of opportunity. That’s the
way life is. Often, opportunities do not come in packages
wrapped in the colors we expected. When an unexpected
surprise happens, we refuse to see it and so we miss the
opportunity. Sometimes we are so focused on a goal far out
in the future that we do not see what is right in front of us,
or we get so busy hurrying and rushing around
that we lose all perspective.
|
|
|
We begin to
see that the completion of an important project has every
right to be dignified by a natural grieving process.
Something that
required the best of you has ended. You will miss it. |

Differences
challenge assumptions. |
|
Change
really becomes a necessity when we try not to do it. |

We can learn whatever
we need in nature because we are
part of nature. Human beings are part of Creation.
We live by the same laws as all of nature.

|
Life is a process. We are a process. The universe
is a process. |
