For a Community to exist, it must be expressed … For real Morality to flourish, it must be witnessed … For true LOVE to exist, it must be enacted — it must become a verb. “There is no way to Peace … Peace is The Way.” There is no way to Forgiveness … Forgiveness is […]
“Few tragedies are more injurious than the stunting of meaning, and few injustices cut deeper than the dismissal of an opportunity to reach out and care –- a rejection that is in actuality always brought about by the cowardly submission to fears of forces external, yet one that is often falsely identified as some personal […]
I look for a chance to be Kind … I find one easily (every person encountered is such an opportunity) … I move forward to extend them some Kindness, … — a caring smile, a gentle nod of recognition, an encouraging word — … and then my ego chimes in: “You are only one person […]
Regardless of where we are & what we are doing, a wondrous Life of Meaning is always ours for the re-making. And yet, we cannot fully enter our fresh tomorrows, until we completely release our stale yesterdays.
It’s really quite easy to die quite early, for life becomes truly lost in lack of attention. And this form of dying — whether we are cleaning windows absentmindedly, writing a masterpiece dutifully, or caring for another person superficially — is actually quite real. We might very well be fulfilling our obligations while we go […]
When it comes to Caring for others, it’s really pretty simple … When in doubt, avoid worrying about whether the person is a stranger or a friend or an enemy; avoid analyzing whether or not your act of Kindness will help or hinder … Just pause, look, find — and be Kind … JUST LOVE!
A penny saved is a penny not given; and yet we are here to Give … A smile not offered is a Kindness not shared; and yet we are here to Share. It is not nearly enough to “get rich” or “be successful”, my Friends. Indeed, the only real measure of your wealth is how […]
LOVE is not what we feel when we are “in love”, and LOVE is not the adoration we receive from those who “love” us … No, my Friends, the only thing LOVE truly is, is what we DO for others in their time of need. And as such, the only way we will ever come […]
People make Love so complex. But Love isn’t complex … Infatuation is complex … Lust is complex … Romance is complex. Love is simply supporting another unconditionally through small acts of caring … Love is simply fully & deeply accepting the small acts of Kindness that those who Love us share … Love is simply […]
I realize that as we get older, it is very tempting to “be mature” — I realize that it is almost impossible to break free from the societal grip that would have us “be careful” and “work hard” and “be responsible” and “take care of yourself” and “strive for success” and “get what’s yours”. And […]
A society grows weak & crumbles when its children are taught first & foremost to “be productive” & to “succeed”; to care for their lives by primarily caring for themselves … And yet that same culture becomes both Great & Vibrant when its children see their elders plant trees in whose shade they know they […]
