When there is order there is little to do

John Heider
September 2013 (Vol. XXVI, No. 8)

Selflessness gives one center.
Center creates order.
When there is order, there is little to do.

Quote of the Day

There is no amount of darkness that can extinguish the inner light. The important thing is not to spend our lives trying to control the environment around us. The task is to control the environment within us.
~ Joan Chittister
