Quote of the Day

I have had this post sitting in my inbox since SUNDAY NIGHT and I have not posted it because it SCARES me. It scares me because it's from the Bible and the preachy, religious undertone makes me uncomfortable. But here it is, tapping its foot and saying 'Are you gonna go ahead and post me already or what?'

So I decided to look it up and what do you know? It's not from the Bible at all. It's from Hindu scripture, with which I have no problem.

Maybe the root of why it scares me resides in the fact that I feel like a fraud for not living up to this quote, which is all the more reason to put it out there.

And it's so powerful:

So gah! Here goes:

“Out of abundance, he took abundance and still abundance remained.”
-The Upanishads


This one goes straight for the jugular and hits me where I need it to. There is more than enough for everyone. I need to remember this right now.
