“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, that would suffice.”   —   Meister Eckhart

(Ya gotta love a practical theologian!  To me, just to be thankful in life – for life – is really what matters.  Too many people get caught up in formal prayers, and Bible/Koran/Torah/the Vedas/the Tripitaka/what-have-you passages, but then seem to forget the value of the simple thank you.  Appreciation for life’s little kindnesses are universal.  The words are great, but sometimes just a wave, or a smile, convey the meaning just as well.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.”   —   Meister Eckhart

(Even if they brand you a heretic!  Go along to get along, or rock the boat?  That is the question.  Things got to get done.  So, you might as well do them.  Let the chips fall where they may.  There are two sides to every sword, but we almost always favor one side to the other.  We almost have to.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “Thank you”, that would suffice.”   — Meister Eckhart

(It’s amazing how the mastery of words helped this 13th – 14th Century humanist fly under the radar for as long as he did.  Eckhart set the stage for free thought in a Western world far too consumed with the dogmatic.) —   YUR
