THE PRESENT IS THE CHILD OF THE PAST; THE FUTURE, THE BEGOTTEN OF THE PRESENT.
And yet, O present moment! Knowest thou not that thou hast no parent, nor canst thou have a child; that thou art ever begetting but thyself? Before thou hast even begun to say 'I am the progeny of the departed moment, the child of the past,' thou hast become that past itself. Before thou utterest the last syllable, behold! Thou art no more the Present but verily that Future. Thus, are the Past, the Present, and the Future, the ever-living trinity in one---The Absolute IS." pg 446

AND THE GRINCH...
with his GRINCH-FEET ice cold in the snow,
stood puZZling and puZZling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puZZled and puZZled 'till his puZZler was sore.
Then the GRINCH thought of something he hadn't before.
WHAT IF Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
WHAT IF Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
Dr. Seuss
PEACE WITHIN....
May today there be PEACE within.
May you TRUST that YOU are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the INFINITE possibilities that
are born of FAITH in yourself and others.
May you use the GIFTS that you have received, and
pass on the LOVE that has been given to you.
May you be CONTENT with yourself just the way you are.
Let this KNOWLEDGE settle into your bones, and allow your SOUL the FREEDOM
to Sing, Dance, Praise and Love.
IT IS THERE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.
UNKNOWN
A prayer so touching and loving and caring....
my dear friend is including
it in every card she makes for her family and friends!!
THERE IS ONE ETERNAL LAW IN NATURE, one that always tends to adjust contraries and to produce final harmony.
It is owing to this Law of spiritual development superseding the physical and purely intellectual, that mankind will become freed from its false gods, and find itself finally---SELF-REDEEMED.

KEEPING THE FAITH IN TORONTO'S CORE...
MAKOM ("space" or "place" in Hebrew), a congregation that blends hipsterism and traditional Jewish orthodoxy, is REJUVENATING the area around Kensington Market.
THEY OFFER SEMINARS on urban homesteading, jam and chocolate making, beer brewing, composting, canning--all topics that appeal to a certain kind of progressive 20-to-45-year-old demographic. Makom's founder, Rabbi Aaron Levy, describes his congregation as a mix of young professionals, social-justice workers, artists and academics. Many are descended from families who moved out of the area 40 or 50 years ago. "Our programming is reflective of a downtown ethic: open-minded, politically progressive, diverse, inclusive, artistic, active," ...Jane Jacob devotees... "We think, like Jane Jacobs said, that new ideas need old buildings," Mr.Levy said.
"I THINK THE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING. They don't find it in the shopping centres of the suburbs," said David Pinkus, the 86-year-old president of Bellevue Avenue's Kiever Synagogue.
THE DOWNTOWN CORE has the highest proportion of 25-to-44-year-olds in the city, the young people who form families and act as catalysts in a community.
