1005: We're Like Straws Floating on the Waves of an Ocean

"Affirm the spirit, the Eternal I" - Ella Wheeler Wilcox / children can break your attachment and the knot in the heart / externally - operate according to convention, internally - think beyond convention / we are gathered together like straws floating in the waves of an ocean… inevitably separated by the laws of the waves / every living being can be a channel of love /the reflection of the spiritual real shows itself when the turbulence of the mind is quieted / the ant's soul is important too / the keys exist even if they aren't under the lamppost / the soul is never tired / austerity and penance is meant for seeing the distinctions between body and soul / you're not ripped! You're not this body.
