"Of what use is a "great session" of meditation if it doesn't translate into improvement of our whole being, which can then place itself at the service of others? Once the seeds of patience, inner strength, serenity, love and compassion have come to maturity, it is to others that we must offer their fruit."

Secrets of Lasting Happiness

Have a good one!

 

[Geoff-Allen]

One child asked, "Can you bend spoons with your mind?" Another asked, "Has God ever talked to you?" They were very disappointed when I said, "No." I went on to explain that for me a real true miracle is becoming a kind human being. If you have psychic powers but lack a kind heart, the powers are of no use. In fact, they could even be disadvantageous: people may get very upset if they find all their spoons have been bent!

So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.

"Kindness is one of the gentle expressions of love. We grow in grace when we become aware that one of God's gifts to us can be that we may share our loving kindness with all of creation. People all over the world are seeking peace of mind, solutions to everyday problems, better relationships with other people, and a more meaningful way of life. Surely we are aware of the room for improvement within ourselves and in our life. A healthy serving of loving kindness - both giving and receiving - could make a difference!"

~ John Marks Templeton

 

[Geoff-Allen]

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?"

~ John Lennon
