Ancient Wisdom

"An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics," Plutarch reminds us. The connection between moral and political action is ancient indeed. Hear the Tao:

The Master doesn't talk, (s)he acts.
When the work is done,
the people say,
"Amazing, we did it all by ourselves!"

Now that I'm back in the desert, I have time to catch up on my blogs. I didn't realize you were just starting out. This is a great post, I will think about it for a while. "Amazing, we did it all by ourselves!" How often do we forget about the involvement of God in our life and take credit for the miracles, claiming it was just our "hard work." Something to think about for sure.
