TO LIVE

"I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit."
~ Dawna Markova

Religion

Does any organized religion have the authority to deem themselves the "only true" religion. If all religions were created by man and are led by man, where do they get this authority. There are so many translations of the Bible (by man), are all religions getting the same meaning out of each scripture? If there is going to be "Judgement Day", will we each be judged on our own personal relationship with God?

Tree of Life

"Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion"
