WE DIVE WITHIN TO FEED THE HIGHER SELF – “As we have seen, self-searching is the means by which we bring new vision, action, and grace to bear upon the dark and negative side of our natures.” “We will want the good that is in us all, even in the worst of us, to flower and to grow.” (12 & 12, p. 52)
“He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.” – Aeschylus (525 BC – 456 BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Amazing Grace – Leann Rimes (3:55)
How has your sense of self-searching gratitude made you feel spiritually relieved, lately?

The Lion and The Grateful Mouse :
A lion was preparing to eat a mouse it had just caught.
‘Let me go,’ the mouse begged him, ‘sooner or later you may need my help.’
The king of the forest found this idea so ridiculous that he laughed aloud, but he let the little mouse go anyway.
Some time later, the lion was trapped in a net which had been set down by the hunters. Then along came the mouse that chewed the netting and freed him.
‘As you can see,’ said the mouse, ‘even the mighty sometimes need the help of the weak.’ (http://www.english-for-students.com/The-Lion-and-The-Grateful-Mouse.html)
FEATURED POST FROM THE ZONR VAULT “Today I’m waiting for my job to say whether they will take me back. I am surprised at how peaceful I feel. All-day I’ve felt at peace with whichever decision they may. I know I did the footwork and this makes it easier for me now to stay out of the results.” (Sim Jim, 11/2/2011)
