What I Have Learned So
Far
Meditation is old and
honorable, so why should I
not sit, every morning of my life, on the
hillside,
looking into the shining world? Because, properly
attended
to, delight, as well as havoc, is suggestion.
Can one be passionate about the
just, the
ideal, the sublime, and the holy, and yet commit
to no labor in
its cause? I don't think so.
All summations have a
beginning, all effect has a
story, all kindness begins with the sown
seed.
Thought buds toward radiance. The gospel of
light is the
crossroads of -- indolence, or action.
Be ignited, or be
gone.
