ELEMENTS FOR SEEKING PEACE…..SIMPLICITY

SIMPLICITY *

 The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane… Remember that there is a God who desires neither praise nor glory from men created in his image, but rather that they are guided by the understanding given them, should in their actions become liked unto Him. The fig tree is true to its purpose, so is the dog, so also are bees. Is it possible, then, that man shall not fulfill his vocation? But, alas, these great and sacred truths vanish from memory. The bustle of daily life, war, unthinking fear, spiritual lameness, and habitual servitude stifle them.  Marcus Aurelius

 

* from Seeking Peace by Johann C. Arnold
