A thought-provoking perspective on service as a spiritual path from a Wiccan blogger. (And there will be a blog post from me soon, rather than yet another link.)
Quotable
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
-- Francis Bacon
"And the Bastard grant us, in our direst need, the smallest gifts: the nail of the horseshoe, the pin of the axle, the feather at the pivot point, the pebble at the mountain's peak, the kiss in despair, the one right word. In darkness, understanding."
-- Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold
I would be your disciple
And I'd worship you
Burn the prophets of reason
Light the sky for you
Kill the children of Eden
If you want me to
Close the dead eyes of God
If they offended you
-- "Absolution", Gary Numan
There is no way to suppress change...not even in heaven; there is only a choice between a way of living which allows constant, if gradual alterations and a way of living that combines great control and cataclysmic upheavals. Those who panic and bind the trickster choose the latter path. It would be better to learn to play with him, better especially to develop skills (cultural, spiritual, artistic) that allow some commerce with accident, and some acceptance of the changes that contingency will always engender.
-- Lewis Hyde, Trickster Makes This World
Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.
