as expressed in the biblical story of the Good Samaritan.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Loneliness is not what it seems.
One does not feel lonely because one is alone,

one's sense of inherent worth.

From the way most people live,
one would never guess that humans are beings of free will.
Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn't.
The athlete or pianist who practices the same routine
day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal.
The unending repetition is a conscious choice
in the pursuit of a life dream.
But what about the sameness of most lives?
Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink,
the Sunday football game or religious service -
how many of those people are consciously following their dream,
training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?
And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day
out of habit and boredom?
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Essentially all suffering is the result of...
1. Comparing what we have (or don't have) today

... with what we have today.
3. Comparing what we have (or don't have) with what others have.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Most people think that anger is an instinctive response,
and that some people were just born with the temperament
to get angrier faster than others.
That statement is only half right.
Anger is an instinctive response.
We respond to an affront with anger essentially instantaneously -
much too quickly for conscious thought to be called upon.
But the instinct of the anger response
can be trained through conscious repetition,
visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

After all, science is essentially international,
and it is only through lack of the historical sense

than our progress in education.
The human mind is our fundamental resource.

Great relationships begin with two people who are each
self confident and who come to each other with the openness

and vow never to criticize their nature -
the essence that makes them uniquely themselves.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

To see Light and Joy in everything.

Our "Rainbows and Butterflies" are the small miracles of our life -
the little things that are so easy to overlook,

for all God's creatures - large and small,

for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."
