Monday, 6 February -- Quotes of the Day

1) I fell out of the habit of morning devotional, and this morning the need to reground my days led me back. Mother’s Bible opened to I Corinthians 16, where verse 14 stayed with me: “Let all your deeds be done with love.” How many of us can say that?

1a) And later I noticed verse 21: “This salutation is from me, Paul, in my own handwriting.” The value of handwritten correspondence presents itself yet again!

2) And within #273 of Baltasar Gracián’s The Art of Worldly Wisdom, this nugget: “The person swayed by passion cannot speak of things are they are: passion speaks in him, not reason. Each person speaks according to his emotion or his humor, and all are far from the truth.”

3) And from the horoscope at Five Elements Oracle: “. . . a lovely day to work on creative projects. Write or feed the mind with uplifting words, fill up the senses with art, music & sound. The muse is with us . . . Notice the beauty around you.”
