Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
- Albert Einstein
The mind of man is continuously unfolding into a greater recognition of its real plan in the creative order of the Universe.
- Ernest Holmes
The effect on worldwide air travel from the eruption of a fairly small volcano in Iceland reminds me of how fragile our lives are. We have come to assume that we will always have our grocery stores, our imported clothes, our cell phones and televisions, the ability for our goods and ourselves to travel around the world in hours. But reading today's news tells a different story. No human knows whether air travel will be back to normal next week or whether a larger eruption might be triggered such as the 1783 eruption in Iceland that caused the worldwide "year with no summer" with the Mississippi river freezing in New Orleans.
My purpose in writing this is not to cause fear, but the exact reverse. Our external lives are uncertain, always changing, and always will be - in so many ways. What we CAN count on is changeless inner serenity that comes from our Higher Power.
Be clear what is important in life, and never confuse the eternal rock with the uncertain and sometimes cataclysmic events of the physical world.
