I figured the best way I may be of help is to remind all to keep faith in the great power contained in remaining loving and light of heart in all circonstances. This way one may be a solid anchor that others may rely on in difficult times. This is felt by others no matter what their beliefs are. It has the potential to lessen their burden simply by being around such a light hearted anchor. The key is in listening to them, if they wish to share their woes. No need to say much.
True indeed,
Until the fire is burning inside one's own home.
There is a pattern in which creation tends to place "those who agrees to be the anchor" in the garden of gethsemane,
To be "Christ-like" has a price, but a price of ones choosing, and does it truly match one's inner resonance?
Or is it just a façade?
I concur that the burden is not only on the other-self, but also in the one that does the anchoring.
2 for 1 deal is the path of STO,
Patrick, perhaps, one day the "not say much" will be on the level of those we looked up to, the grind is real,
I've seen the thousands of your "battles" and even remember briefly one time joining you in a thread to "reason" with a "self-proclaimed" sts member who wanted to disseminate it's philosophy on the forums,
the Patrick then was much fiery and gung-ho,
On a lighter note,
I wonder how you are now old friend, the position of steward is one that given great growth I assume, and where does that vine grew to?
Theoden? old and tired?
