I am the source for the perspectives I choose to hold...
regardless of how aware I am of why or how I come to possess
that particular perspective.

This is the heart of a gentle invitation to personal responsibility.

or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.

relating to each other, but not tied in any relationship.

but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.

It is curious to observe what different
ideals of happiness people cherish,
and in what singular places they look
for this well-spring of their life.

a few seek it in the exploration of their own minds,
or in search for knowledge.
