At Our Best

     “We are at our best when we show compassion, grace, forgiveness, love, and sacrifice.  For it is then that we are thinking less of ourselves and more of somebody else.”

— Excerpted from The Truth as I See It: A Collection of Spiritual Writings by Adam Soto (p. 57)

Believing the Incredible

     “But charity means pardoning what is unpardonable, or it is no virtue at all. Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all. And faith means believing the incredible, or it is no virtue at all.”

– G. K. Chesterton

The Taoist Farmer

     There was a farmer whose horse ran away. That evening the neighbors gathered to commiserate with him since this was such bad luck. He said, “May be.” The next day the horse returned, but brought with it six wild horses, and the neighbors came exclaiming at his good fortune. He said, “May be.” And then, the following day, his son tried to saddle and ride one of the wild horses, was thrown, and broke his leg.

     Again the neighbors came to offer their sympathy for the misfortune. He said, “May be.” The day after that, conscription officers came to the village to seize young men for the army, but because of the broken leg the farmer’s son was rejected. When the neighbors came in to say how fortunately everything had turned out, he said, “May be.”
