Contemplative life is not about personal advancement along
the path of spiritual development. It is about education
........................,,,and immense gratitude. ...,,,

Never criticize another for his failure to adopt your
ascetic practice, nor pray that he embrace it.
Instead, aspire to his courage in challenging weakness,
and praise him to others when you observe his success. .,

Take care, for the image
....you utilize in dialogue
............with your muse
.............is a portrait of
....................your god.

............................

I love thee because thou hast ears;

I emulate thee in thy gratitude for thine eyes;

I heed thee, for thou desireth for me all thou hast

and more. ..
