“Life’s short and we never have

enough time for gladdening the

hearts of those who travel the

way with us. O, be swift to love!

Make haste to be kind.”

four ways to see

the greatest quality is seeking to serve others

the greatest effort is not concerned with results

the greatest meditation is a mind that lets go

the greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances

physical symbols of the psychic state

Treehorn went down for breakfast

and started to read the new cereal box. It said you could send for a hundred balloons. His mother was cleaning the living room. She came into the kitchen to get a dust rag.

"Don't put your elbows on the table while you're eating, dear," she said.

"Look," said Treehorn. "I'm my own size now. My own regular size."

"That's nice, dear," said Treehorn's mother. "It's a very nice size, I'm sure, and if I were you I wouldn't shrink anymore. Be sure to tell you father when he comes home tonight. He'll be so pleased." She went back to the living room and started to dust and vacuum.
