Moments of Thought. . . .
In retrospect, everything becomes a moral decision. Some of us only learn this in our dotage when reflecting on how we lived our lives.

Whenever we embark on a choice, we embark also on change. With choice comes responsibility to carry through.
*****
We are free to make other choices. But when we come to commitments, there may be no choice at all. No options.

One’s sense of one’s place in the larger picture heightens one’s sense of responsibility.
*****
Unless you can share your heart, you cannot enter into a liaison with anyone and raise a family.

You cannot force feed a menu when the seated are not hungry.

I have learned that if it is not done here, where I am, it will not be done elsewhere. If I see this good to do, I must do it now or there will not be this chance nor these favorable circumstances again.

When a good is done on one hearth, all hearths will do good throughout all worlds.

email from Maria Wulf. . . . I love the idea of slipping the cosmic into the mundane…..
Maria. . .I scribed on Dec 11, ’92. . . .’The mundane will overwhelm one day until we learn that to insert the cosmic into the mundane is what must be done’ . . . . time to go back and research that journal entry and post. How do the events change daily and still remain the same?
