Sinners Often Speak The Truth. And Saints

People Mistakenly Assume That Their Thinking Is Done By Their Head; It Is Actually Done By The Heart Which First Dictates The Conclusion, Then Commands The Head To Provide The Reasoning That Will Defend It.

I Was Neurotic For Years. I Was Anxious And Depressed And Selfish. Everyone Kept Telling Me To Change. I Resented Them And I Agreed With Them, And I Wanted To Change, But Simply Couldn't, No Matter How Hard I Tried. Then One Day Someone Said To Me, Don't Change. I Love You Just As You Are. Those Words Were Music To My Ears: Don't Change, Don't Change. Don't Change . . . I Love You As You Are. I Relaxed. I Came Alive. And Suddenly I Changed!

I'm Going To Write A Book Someday And The Title Will Be I'm An Ass, You're An Ass. That's The Most Liberating, Wonderful Thing In The World, When You Openly Admit You're An Ass. It's Wonderful. When People Tell Me, You're Wrong I Say, What Can You Expect Of An Ass?

This Is What Wisdom Means: To Be Changed Without The Slightest Effort On Your Part, To Be Transformed, Believe It Or Not, Merely By Waking To The Reality That Is Not Words , That Lies Beyond The Reach Of Words. If You Are Fortunate Enough To Be Awakened Thus, You Will Know Why The Finest Language Is The One That Is Not Spoken, The Finest Action Is The One That Is Not Done And The Finest Change Is The One That Is Not Willed.

My Experience Is That It's Precisely The Ones Who Don't Know What To Do With This Life Who Are All Hot And Bothered About What They Are Going To Do With Another Life.
