The reason that ego and love are not compatible comes down to this: you cannot take your ego into the unknown, where love wants to lead. If you follow love, your life will become uncertain, and the ego craves certainty. Deepak Chopra

When the animals come to us, asking for our help, will we know what they are saying? When the plants speak to us, in their delicate, beautiful language, will we be able to answer them?

Friendship: The comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are - chaff and grain together - certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away. To Doug from V.

Anger cannot occur unless you believe that you have been attached, that your attack is justified in return, and that you are in no way responsible for it. Given these three wholly irrational premises, the equally irrational conclusion that a brother is worthy of attack rather than of love must follow. What can be expected from insane premises except an insane conclusion? The way to undo an insane conclusion is to consider the sanity of the premises on which it rests. You cannot be attacked, attack has no justification, and you are responsible for what you believe. ~ Course in Miracles ~ Submitted by David Simard
"First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up." ~ Martin Niemoeller ~
