No man is happy without a friend nor sure of him til he's unhappy

Ralph Waldo Emerson

And may I remind people that Marianne Williamson is /was a teacher
And student of A Course In Miracles...she was the one that first
Brought it more to the public in her first book, "A Return To Love".

A must read.

YES, I luv that one by E. Tolle!!!

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
John the Apostle

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." -Albert Einstein.

“Wretched men cringe before tyrants who have no power, the victims of their trivial hopes and fears. They do not realise that anger is hopeless, fear is pointless and desire all a delusion. He whose heart is fickle is not his own master, has thrown away his shield, deserted his post, and he forges the links of the chain that holds him.”
― Boethius, 480-525 CE

It was the first words he spoke to me :)

Take the apple. It is not god that creates the apple but the apple tree. You might note that god created the apple tree yet the apple tree creates itself mighty and beautiful from a tiny seed that was stored and nurtured within an apple.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
