Monotomie van het leven

De monotonie van het leven, als het leven voor u monotoon is,
 ligt het aan u en niet aan de wereld.
  -Phillips Brooks

Het ligt aan onszelf wat wij willen maken van het leven. Ook al zijn wij verbonden aan de eigenheden van de dag kunnen wij ons op ons eigen wijze door alle moeilijkheden of crisissen werken.

“Golden Eagle Feather” schrijft :

Op zowel een persoonlijk als globaal niveau, crisis is overal. Soms moeten we wakker geschud worden. Deze persoonlijke-globale dooreenschudding, volgens de Grootmoeders, is slechts een symptoom van het herschikken van yin en yang.

Engelse versie / English version:  Monotomy of life

The work I do, let it be done good

"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle,
but you yourself shall be the miracle.
- Phillips Brooks

"We must begin to search for God in our workplaces.
God is already there, do not mistake you.
We simply have not trained ourselves to see our creator."
- William E. Diehl

Have thy tools ready, God will provide thee work.
- Charles Kingsley

"So, whether you eat or drink (sweep streets), or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 

.." 'Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."
2 Timothy 2:15

Dear Father, Creator of heaven and earth,
I behold your works with joy.
I'm just a small worker on this earth,
but leave those tasks I performed be properly implemented.
And let others see my commitment and enjoy my work done.

 “As we live and move and have our being, so from this vision, we create heaven in our own lives… and perhaps even heaven on earth.”
– craig (as inspired by Acts 17:28 and the words of Felicia Searcy)
“Aim at the earth and you may not get off the ground.
“Aim at the stars and you may reach the moon.”
“Aim at heaven and you’ll have earth thrown in…
and you may even hit the stars.”
– craig (as inspired by the famous quote by CS Lewis – 24th May 2012)
“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”

The monotony of life,
if life is monotonous to you,
it is in you and not the world.  -  Phillips Brooks
