Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 The problem is not that we are too busy, but we are busy in the wrong way. Creative, contemplative people often have active days, but their full lives are not necessarily busy to the point where they can't pause, reflect, and be fruitfully distracted…The way ahead is to let our spiritual values shape our activities so that they are honest, deeply motivated, cognizant of community, and coloured with love and solid satisfaction. Then the step from work to contemplation will be a short and easier one. Thomas Moore The measure of mental health is the disposition to find good everywhere. – Ralf Waldo Emerson, American essayist and philosopher (1803-82) It is our opinions of things and not the things themselves that cause the disturbances of our lives.- Epictetus,Greek philosopher (55-135). When we pray to God, we pray to a silent and powerful eternal presence that is a part of ourself. – Anonymous.
