Quotes: Living takes time and which habit do you feed the most
Living takes time
“Living,” as wise Eleanor Brown once said, “takes time.”
Tea for two is a special opportunity to catch up and talk in shorthand and get to the marrow of life. There are far too few occasions when two people are alone, face-to-face, in communion with one another. Each meeting should be sacrosanct, even if it is only for twenty minutes. Just being together, sometimes even without a whole lot of conversation, binds us with invisible threads of grace and love.

Which habit do you feed the most
I recently ran across a story about a Native American tribal leader describing his own inner struggles. He said, “There are two dogs inside me. One the the dogs is mean and evil . The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time.” Someone asked him which dog usually wins, and after a moment’s reflection, he answered, “The one I feed the most.”
-Rabbi Hard S. Kushner. Quoted in Meditations from the mat by Rolf Gates. day 312.
