August: A Moment In Hindsight

Supporting children who are less fortunate than the average child taught me a valuable lesson in life. Life is about looking into ones own body; whether physical, emotional or spiritual, to find what is most sacred to oneself. Working with people less fortunate mirrors the strengths, and sometimes your own weakness' as well.
With this knowledge, one can look forward and see these fine qualities in others. One can let it not only surface and appear in its purest form, but let it flourish and burgeon into the unexpected. You don't always have to have a plan for every piece of who you are, because sometime you see who you can be, but it's doing it that make things just happen. "What you do does not define who you are, but who you are defines what you do."
Furthermore, once you find who you are your true spirit arises and invigorates what was once forgotten; eventually leading you to like minded individuals who also may have forgotten, or better yet who have begun to sprout the seeds they have let hibernate for too long. Thus, finding yourself in others.


The unique personality which is the real life in me, I can not gain unless I search for the real life, the spiritual quality, in others. I am myself spiritually dead unless I reach out to the fine quality dormant in others. For it is only with the god enthroned in the innermost shrine of the other, that the god hidden in me, will consent to appear.
