Love virtue, she alone is free,
She can teach ye how to climb
Higher than the spehery chime Or, if virtue feeble were
Heaven itself would stoop to her

Namaste!
Namaste is a clasic Indian salutation, meaning:
"That which is within me
which encompasses the entire universe
salutes that which is within you
which encompasses the entire
universe."

The Dream
I dreamed I had an interview with God. "Come in," God said. "So, you
would like to interview Me?"
"If you have the time," I said.
God smiled and said: "My time is eternity and is enough to do
everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?"
"What surprises you most about mankind?"
God answered: "That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to
grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to
make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by
thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that
they live neither for the present nor the future. That they live as if they will
never die, and they die as if they had never lived..."
God's hands took mine and we were silent for a while and then I asked...
"As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to
learn?"
God replied with a smile: "To learn that they cannot make anyone love
Them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved.
To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their
lives, but who they have in their lives.
To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. All will
be judged individually on their own merits, not as a group on a comparison
basis.
To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is
one who needs the least.
To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in
persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them.
To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.
To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do
not know how to express or show their feelings.
To learn that money can buy everything but happiness.
To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it
totally differently.
To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about
them and likes them anyway.
To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by
others, but that they have to forgive themselves."
I sat there for a while enjoying the moment. I thanked Him for his
time and for all that He has done for me and my family.
And He replied, "Anytime. I'm here 24 hours a day. All you have to do
is ask for me, and I'll answer."

"But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; and the realist adjusts the sails."
— William Arthur Ward.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about you loss.
