Purpose of Life



You fight dandelions all weekend, 
and late Monday afternoon
 there they are, 
pert as all get out, 
in full and gorgeous bloom, 
pretty as can be, 
thriving as only dandelions can in the face of adversity. 
Hal Borland

The purpose of life 
is undoubtedly to know oneself. 
 We cannot do it 
 unless we learn to identify ourselves with all that lives. 
 The sum-total of that life is God. 
  Mahatma Gandhi

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website
