When you look at a painting, whether the "Mona Lisa," the "Birth of Venus" or anything you find beautiful, where is the beauty coming from? Where is the source of the beauty? It is obviously not coming out of the painting, or everyone would agree that one painting is beautiful and another is ugly. Obviously, the beauty must be projected from somewhere else onto the painting. From Questions to Insights by Lynda Dahl. Years ago I was struck by what I recognized as a similar thread woven through many of my friends' psyches. The thread reflected an underlying sadness that life hadn't worked out the way they'd hoped, that there was so much they had to offer that never found the right time or circumstances, that life wore them down more than boosted them up.

DEAR CHILD Dear Child, Healthy choices need to be made now. It is important to get plenty of fresh air and exercise, to eat healthy foods, to take time to get quiet daily, and to get enough sleep. Your body needs to be loved and cared for. Without it where would you be? It is very easy to just take it for granted but in doing so you do it a dis-service. How you treat your body is reflected back in how the world treats you. Observe this fact. Time and time again, you will see this to be true. Treat your body with respect and love for the truly amazing thing that it is. Respect it. Be aware of it and its needs. Do not keep pushing it as if it were a piece of machinery. It is not but rather a living, breathing thing that is doing it's best to take care of you, no matter how you treat it. Appreciate it. Treat it well. It is your temple. All is well, Child of God. ~ Shari Rathman ~ This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE The Two Brothers Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch. Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence. One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days work" he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?" "Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbor, in fact, it's my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll do him one better. See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence, an 8-foot fence, so I won't need to see his place or his face anymore." The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you." The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge, a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all, and the neighbor his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched. "You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done." The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand. They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox on his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I've got a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother. "I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but, I have many more bridges to build." ~ Author Unknown ~ back to top of page Your Participation at InnerSelf.com is appreciated * A Heartfelt Thank You to all our readers who are purchasing books and other items through InnerSelf.com.
