The shadows of this world will say— There's no hope why try anyway? But every kindness large or slight— shifts the balance toward the Light... When justice seems in short supply, lean in toward the Light.
~ Carrie Newcomer from the song "Lean in Toward the Light"
I think that those who serve most potently, work on levels of consciousness that have to do with radiating love — maybe God's love... It is important that you have a brain and use it, but that is secondary. The basic premise is that you allow something to come through you. Then you use your intelligence to give your heart's work discipline and logic. But the transformative energy, that which can change events, that heals, that helps, that serves, comes from somewhere deep inside.
