Comments on: What Madoff and Others Can Never Steal from You http://visionary-resources.com/what-madoff-and-others-cant-ever-steal-from-you/ Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:43:23 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Patricia Cavanaugh http://visionary-resources.com/what-madoff-and-others-cant-ever-steal-from-you/comment-page-1/#comment-20 Patricia Cavanaugh Wed, 06 May 2009 19:52:15 +0000 http://visionpat.wordpress.com/?p=229#comment-20 This morning I was reading the Center for Courage and Renewals recent newsletter and found that Parker Palmer's thoughts were so inspiring. It is in times of great loss that we have an opportunity to look again and see what is truly important in our lives. We are challenged to show compassion and generosity not just to our friends and family but to strangers. We are brought closer to each other and closer to the divine source of all. Here is a Parker Palmer quote “Scarcity is the logic of the ego, while abundance is the logic of the soul.” and a poem that I find lovely and sustaining in these times. Ghanaian Poem…translater unknown Journeying god, pitch your tent with mine so that I may not become deterred by hardship, strangeness, doubt. Show me the movement I must make toward a wealth not dependent on possessions, toward a wisdom not based on books, toward a strength not bolstered by might, toward a god not confined to heaven.

Journeying god, pitch your tent with mine so that I may not become deterred by hardship, strangeness, doubt.
Show me the movement I must make toward a wealth not dependent on possessions,
toward a wisdom not based on books,
toward a strength not bolstered by might,
toward a god not confined to heaven.
Help me to find myself as I walk in other’s shoes

Since I know that peace is a choice and no matter what happens, I stay spiritually grounded in this value. I practice choosing peace daily in order to navigate the ebbs and flows of life. I can tap into peace absolutely any where at any time including while driving, in conversations and during business meetings. I consciously create an abundance of peaceful energy which gets stored up for stressful times and then I know to pull it up and draw from the well, the universal spirit energy that delivers to me, right to my front door, so that all I have to do is say, "Hi there, welcome, please come in and stay a while."

This also includes those who are no longer with us. The memory of people who have given support is often very comforting when dealing with present problems.
