Learning, Laughing, Linking: Three Keys to Successful Living
I am an ordained minister. One of the most treasured insights I have garnered during my ministerial tenure is that the spiritual life and the everyday life are one in the same. As the Buddhists say, "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." The beauty of the Spirit is the Ordinary World. When we recognize that, the Ordinary becomes the Extraordinary. It becomes much easier to let loose the grasp and share the feast. As Corrie Ten Boom wrote, "The measure of life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation."
There you have it: learning, laughing, linking. If you can come up with a better avenue to power living, share it with us.
