PLAYING SAFE

We inculcate a horror of being a stand-alone that they are afraid to break the mold to walk in freedom! We have boxed them with our insecurities rather than teaching them to think outside-the-box! We make them mindless robots sticking strictly to routine rather than imaginative researchers who delight to explore!

WOMAN, WARRIOR OR WORRIER

Why then in the church do not women rise up to don the garb of a warrior to battle for those worthy of being preserved and protected! Why do we whine and cry, being a damsel in distress expecting some knight to rescue us like Queen Guinevere of Camelot who sat in her tower waiting for Lancelot to come charging!

KISMET

The positive nuance of the word, on the other hand, struck me recently as being such a help to accept what cannot be undone or unmade. It causes one to surmount the sense of defeat at the missed opportunity, the feeling of loss at the lapse of time and the deep grief at what could have been. It provides the stimulus for a positive, constructive, beneficial, productive and effective attitude as well as outlook.
