You are Valuable

There is great value in each of us.


 A sheet of paper, it's potential is endless! 

 The creative process begins, but it doesn't take on the form that was imagined, so it gets crumpled up & aimed at the bin. Missed. Oh well. 

 Someone walks by, sees the discarded piece of paper & ignores it - "That's someone else's problem." 
Another person walks by, notices the paper, but gets distracted; "I don't have time for this." 
And yet another person walks by & from somewhere, a whisper is heard; "More than you think." This is enough to inspire a stop and a bend down to retrieve the crumpled piece of paper...

 What does he see when he unfolds the paper & irons out the creases? 
A signed Picasso doodle? 
A child's impression of a happy moment? 
A lost treasure map? 
A lovers note?

 That which would make you feel like you have discovered a priceless treasure, could be on the discarded paper!

Sometimes it seems as if this very life that is bursting to come out  is, at the same time, resisting the uncovering life force and fighting to stay hidden in the sunless darkness. In a moment we can be guilty and innocent, willingly or unwillingly.  T hey come into being at precisely the same instant!  Neither can exist in the absence of the other! ...

Ancient Wisdom Still Stands

Philosophy with Sokrates "I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct of inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean." - Sokrates. "True wisdom comes to each of us when we realise how little we understand about life, ourselves, & the world around us." - Sokrates. "I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance." - Sokrates. "If all misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be contented to take their own & depart ."- Sokrates. "The unexamined life is not worth living." - Sokrates. "Apply yourself both now & in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, you cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation." - Plato. "Courage is a kind of salvation." - P...
