“I feel vulnerable every day to the grace of God as expressed in every living thing. I feel vulnerable to the astonishing beauty of being alive and to Mother Nature. I feel positive when I feel vulnerable, because it's another reminder that it's not all about me and about my ego. And I actually think it's courageous to be vulnerable, and it's not something to be avoided.” ThinkingFeelsMotherGraceAliveEgoVulnerableCourageousRemindersAvoidedLiving ThingsGrace Of GodAstonishingMother Nature Author:Brad Willis

“Normally we will say we are happy or we are unhappy. I have met some people who told Me, "Oh we went to that Guru we were very happy." I said, "You could be happy in the pub also.
