Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 8 Of Health
Health is a wonderful cooperation - Plato called it a love affair - between all the organs of the body. Admire it, love it, encourage it, thank God for the miraculous temple of your unique, divine life.

"Each human being can do miracles. There is a miracle-maker in each of us. Believe in it. Try it. You will be surprised.<blockquote>
Nothing makes us greater than a great purpose."

THE TWO PRIMARY challenges of life are to support yourself and to express yourself. When you support yourself you become an adult. When you express yourself you become a person. The ideal, of course, is to combine vocation and avocation, to derive your income from work that you love. In fact, most people seldom try to do this. They get sucked into unsatisfying jobs in order to appease their parents or pay the bills. Once trapped, they never escape—and never become what they might have been.
This is why a job promotion can be a curse, and getting fired a blessing. A promotion will usually increase your responsibility and income but carry you along the same career path, which in many cases is not what you want. A firing, on the other hand, often reflects a deep unconscious desire to quit your job and start living your own life in a truly satisfying role.

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials. --Lin Yutang, Daily Good

From Dean Radin's book, "Entangled Minds" (2006):
"All things by immortal power,
Near and Far
Hiddenly
To each other linked are,
That thou canst not stir a flower
Without troubling of a star"<blockquote></blockquote>
From William Blake:
"To see the world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."
