Joy's Poem of the Week:

Personal Love Imperfections seen in others
Are often personal.
Evident in separation;
As self seeks itself,
We find our mirrors.
If we are blessed
We grow with our reflections.
If we are especially blessed
We love without provision.
~!JWAH!

Quote of the Week:

The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.
~Atisha (not to be confused with Natisha- teehee)
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another.
~Anais Nin
