To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer to the universe.
~ from STILLNESS SPEAKS by Eckhart Tolle
Most of us put a great deal of times into work, not only because we have to work so many hours to make a living, but because work is central to the soul's OPUS. We are crafting ourselves -- individuating. Work is fundamental to the OPUS because the whole point of life is the fabrication of the soul.
