Lasting Change Happens When People See For

When Mystics Use The Word Love, They Use It Very Carefully - In The Deeply Spiritual Sense, Where To Love Is To Know; To Love Is To Act. If You Really Love, From The Depths Of Your Consciousness, That Love Gives You A Native Wisdom. You Perceive The Needs Of Others Intuitively And Clearly, With Detachment From Any Personal Desires; And You Know How To Act Creatively To Meet Those Needs, Dexterously Surmounting Any Obstacle That Comes In The Way. Such Is The Immense, Driving Power Of Love.

The Earth Was Our Home, She Would Have Said, But No Less Was It Home To The Oxen That Pulled Our Plows Or The Elephants That Roamed In The Forest And Worked For Us. They Lived With Us As Partners Whose Well-being Was Inseparable From Our Own.

Whatever We Have Done, We Can Always Make Amends For It Without Ever Looking Back In Guilt Or Sorrow.

There Is A Close Relationship Between A House Full Of Possessions And A Heart Full Of Desires, Between A Cluttered Closet And A Crowded Schedule, Between Having No Place To Put Possessions And Having No Priorities For Our Life. These Are Precious Clues. They Remind Us To Slow Down, To Live In The Present, To Reduce The Desires That Drain Our Vitality, To Clarify Priorities So We Can Give Our Time And Attention To What Matters Most. Tragically, In The Press Of Modern Life, We Have Managed To Get Backwards One Of Life's Most Vital Truths: People Are To Be Loved; Things Are To Be Used.

An Unhurried Mind Brings The Capacity To Make Wise Choices Every Day - Choices Of How We Use Our Time, Of Where We Place Our Resources And Our Love. I Am Not Just Talking About Avoiding The Rat Race, But About A Life Full Of An Artistic Beauty - A Life That Has Almost Vanished From Modern Civilization, But Is Quite Within The Reach Of Everyone.
