Thought for the Day (only for those that believe in a Higher Power)
Lord, thy will be done in me. Lord, thy will be in me. In words, thoughts, and actions. Practice charity to all, love, to all, finding fault with none, being patient with all, showing brotherly love and brotherly kindness.
Prayer is talking to God. Meditation is listening to the divine within.
If one is to receive grace from God one must show grace to others. Only then can the grace of God be given to man, for the grace of God is manifested through man by showing grace to others. By following the example of Jesus we are doing his will, but more importantly, charting our future.
-a short summary of a book I just finished reading Family Karma by Kevin J. Todeschi
Only when we show godliness will we be shown Godliness.
Seems fair.

I don't totally buy the notion that meditation is listening to the divine "within"...I prefer to think of it as just listening. Tuning into something other than your own static. Or maybe, it would be more accurate to say that it is tuning "out" in the truest sense of the idea.
Now, keep 'em coming. One post a month is just too frustrating!
