It sure does.
Today, I saw these quotes (Thank you Oprah) and they spoke to me...the third one particularly.
We build our TEMPLES with the stones at hand.
The stories we tell ourselves become temples in our mind. That's interesting. We do what we can with the stones we have. Even if the stones we have at hand aren't healthy or positive, we create a temple with them anyway.
So true. I assume the stone I have is a truth. I may learn later that it isn't, but in the meantime, I created a temple to the idea of it as a truth...I'm not good enough, I'm not pretty, I don't fit in, I'm weird. I stand my ground in the temple of my truth.
It's not easy to tear down that temple so I can find new stones and build a new temple.
Can I ever be sure the 'stones at hand' are true?
Even if they are, should I build a temple with them?
Intriguing.
Richard O Moore
I wasn't able to find Richard O Moore's context for the quote. I guess that's okay, because it was interesting to me in its present form - I provided the context and it made me think.
