Pleasant words are sweet as honeycomb, soothing to the soul, and healing to the bone. Proverbs 16:24
Very close to my understanding...Whatever, as long as we apply them to our life...
So True! I have to keep reminding myself is that wherever anyone is - is perfect for them now! And never to react - only to gently respond unless silence is in order (usually it seems to be for me)
I agree Captain Ron, and I appreciate the way it seems to me that your words, "soothing" and "healing" elevate this scripture directly into the present. I have been dwelling on them and they are in the process of being fitted into place in my heart with your name in the footnotes. Now, I know, I need a measure of discipline to manifest and implement them.
"Students and the teachers are the same!" Thanks for role-modeling these healing words - that is the best teaching
Here is a quote from Brother David Steindl-Rast:
"Out-pouring and in-gathering, journey and home, are inseparably united in the dynamic reality of the heart."
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
