Reading these I find it amazing to remember that this man heard year in and year out every dark, foul, tormented secret of the human heart. Many a wealthy and worldly person, tormented with a secret and unspeakable guilt came to him to be confessed. Yet his words flow crystal clear water welling from a holy spring. Wonderful quotes.

I don’t think that he ever would have imagined that it would have stuck with me for as long as it has. I keep a copy on an index card in a holder that is with me or near me most of the time. I have read variations over the years on other sites & blogs…, but never found out where it originated – so if anyone knows please post a comment. Chris,

Microfilo (not to be mistaken for Microphilia) is a term that I’ve coined for myself. It stands for ‘micro philosophy’ or ‘micro philosophies’. They are little ideas, practices, beliefs, commitments, convictions and disciplines that make up the fabric of who I am, who you are – our character. They can be a favorite quote or a morning ritual. Regardless of whether physical or intangible, a microfilo is something that you embrace and absorb into your being. You make a personal religion, you breath it daily and commit yourself to it until it becomes natural and effortless. Your intention is to respond to your day according and aligned to your own personal microfilos. It does not have to be a heavy and serious dogma. Microfilos are fun and light.

Personal freedom is good, and should be encroached on only with good reason. 2. Therefore, those who wish to make same-sex marriage illegal have to put forward a very good case." What an absurd leap. "5. Until a good argument to ban same-sex marriage is put forward, it should be permitted. Personal freedoms should not be abridged out of simple prejudice." Simply irrelevant. Proposition 8 does not ban gay marriage. Nor would it be possible to permit it. No argument is necessary. All the government in the world cannot transform one homosexual relationship into a marriage. “1. Personal freedom is good, and should be encroached on only with good reason.

2. Therefore, those who wish to make same-sex marriage illegal have to put forward a very good case.”
