A New Years motto….
We are put on earth a little space,
That we may learn to bear the beams of love.
William Blake, The Little Black Boy

Sunday Quote: love
The first duty of love is to listen.
Paul Tillich, 1886 – 1965, German-American philosopher and theologian
Becoming love
If you want to know God,
become love. If you want
to know others, become love.
If you want to know yourself,
become love. And if you want
to know love, forget all you
thought you knew or needed
to know, and become love.
Meister Eckhart
How we work with our minds
Love and concern for all are not things some of us are born with and others are not. Rather, they are results of what we do with our minds. We can choose to transform our minds so that they embody love, or we can allow them to develop habits and false conceptions of separation.
Sharon Salzberg, Lovingkindness
Better to give
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love:
The more they give, the more they possess.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The small things
Do not think that love has to be extraordinary in order to be genuine.
What we need is to love without getting tired.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
