The possibility is always there.

Words of Wisdom Of the Day # 264

Go not to the temple to put flower upon the feet of God,

First fill your own house with the fragrance of love ………

Go not to the temple to light candles before the alter of god,

First remove the darkness of sin from your heart……….

Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer,

First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen ……

Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees,

First bend down to lift someone who is downtrodden ……

Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins,

First forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you.

A New Crop of Fools

Every generation a new crop of fools comes on. They think they can beat the orderly universe. They conceive thmselves to be more clever than the eternal laws. They snatch goods from Nature's store, and run.... And one by one they all come back to Nature's counter, and pay--pay in tears, in agony, in despair; pay as fools before them have paid. Nature keeps books pitilessly. Your credit with her is good, but she collects; there is no land you can flee to escape her bailiffs. She never forgets; she sees to it that you pay her every cent you owe, with interest. -Dr. Frank Crane

Sweet Fulfillment

There's no thrill in easy sailing,
When the sky is clear and blue.

You thought you couldn't make.

Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources.
