Humility on WPW (Plus two of my favorite gals on a walking mission)


These two are on some kind of walking roll. Five miles a day for two weeks. Both look amazing. Not only do they enjoy their walks, but they are great kitchen-mates, serving up some delicious and nutritious meals during this time of home-cooking only.

From 'Always We Begin Again' - The Benedictine Way of Living by John McQuiston II (page 35) on 'Humility' . . .

Cultivate humility.
To be exalted is to be in danger.

Pride is considered a sin because it warps our existence.
It establishes our lives on a false foundation.

No one can win all the time.
Therefore, a life based on bettering others
will always be unfulfilled.

The way to affiliation with the sublime
is not to add,
but is to take away more each day
until we have been freed,
even from desire for perfection.
