Do not be inaccessible. none is so perfect that he does not need at times the advice of others. he is an incorrigible ass who will never listen to any one. even the most surpassing intellect should find a place for friendly counsel. sovereignty itself must learn to lean. there are some that are incorrigible simply because they are inaccessible: they fall to ruin because none dares to extricate them. the highest should have the door open for friendship; it may prove the gate of help. a friend must be free to advise, and even to upbraid, without feeling embarrassed.

Do Not Be Inaccessible. None Is So

I could happily lean on a gate all the livelong day, chatting to passers-by about the wind and the rain. i do a lot of gate-leaning while i am supposed to be gardening; instead of hoeing, i lean on the gate, stare at the vegetable beds and ponder.

[david lean's] images stay with me forever. but what makes them memorable isn't necessarily their beauty. that's just good photography. it's the emotion behind those images that's meant the most to me over the years. it's the way david lean can put feeling on film. the way he shows a whole landscape of the spirit. for me, that's the real geography of david lean country. and that's why, in a david lean movie, there's no such thing as an empty landscape.

When god gives you a door, if you want access, you go through that door. people didn't like jesus. oh, they had all kind of reasons to hate him but jesus said, "i am the door. any man who enters must come by me. if you don't come by me," he said, "you're a thief and a robber." well, if omarosa manigault is the door to donald trump, well i kind of like that door. that's a pretty door. that's an intelligent door. that's a spiritually rooted door.

Some like them hot,some like them cold. some like them when they're not to darn old some like them fat,some like them lean. some like them only at sweet sixteen. some like them dark,some like them light. some like them in the park,late at night. some like them fickle,some like them true, but the time i like them is when they're like you

The sufis advise us to speak only after our words have managed to pass through three gates. at the first gate, we ask ourselves, 'are these words true?' if so, we let them pass on; if not, back they go. at the second gate, we ask, 'are the necessary?' at the last gate, we ask, 'are they kind?'

As citizen-activists the world over merge, they can become an irresistible force to create peace and protect the planet. from here will come a new movement to abolish nuclear weapons and all weapons of mass destruction. from here will come the demand for sustainable communities, for new systems of energy, transportation and commerce. from here comes the future rushing in on us. how does one acquire the capacity for active citizenship? the opportunities exist every day...active citizenship begins with an envisioning of the desired outcome and a conscious application of spiritual principles.
Spiritual Opportunity Rushing
So often among so-called "primitives" one comes across spiritual personalities who immediately inspire respect, as though they were the fully matured products of an undisturbed fate.
