Balance, Order, Rhythm and Harmony

“Happiness is not

a matter of

intensity

but of balance,

order, rhythm and

harmony.”

.

~ Thomas Merton

.

Not too much brass,  not too many strings,

not a lot of woodwinds, not a great deal of percussion,

but just the right balance, order, rhythm and harmony

so that you may enjoy the creation,

just as God meant it to be.

Today, enjoy the happiness that comes from using

the talents and skills you have been given

to make beautiful music,

songs and silence that are

one with the Uni-verse.

Happiness is to be in balance, order, rhythm and harmony

with the Uni-verse.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

True Destiny

“Love is our

true destiny.

We do not find

the meaning of life

by ourselves alone –

we find it

with another.”

.

~ Thomas Merton

.

Two souls sharing one heart.

Feeling alone, feeling incomplete,

no reason, no purpose for living,

that is the consequence

of living with only half of a heart.

Learn to love, share your destiny

and when you heart becomes one with another

you will never be alone, you will feel complete,

you will have a reason and a purpose for living,

you will know love.

Love is our true destiny.

Love is helping someone love themselves.
