You can reason andyou can abandon all reason. You can understand logicand you can appreciate beauty. You can find great value in a mathematicalformula and also in the chorus of crickets on a summer night. Doyou understand the limitless possibilities that arise from such a potentcombination? Can you feel the power that lives within your spirit?When your thoughts and your feelings support and encourage and amplifyeach other, truly great things happen. When your creativity is enabledby discipline, and when your thoughts are energized by passion,nothing is out of reach. If your thoughts stray too far from your purpose,you can feel your way back. If your feelings keep you stuck inone place, you can think your way out. You are one, and yet you canthink as well as feel. Continue to more fully experience the wholenessof that miraculous contradiction, and you'll know that it is no contradictionat all.Copyright 2009 Ralph S.
