Six Heart Virtues

The reason we have a physical existence, it seems to me, is to bring intention into form: to act.  Beautiful thoughts are only a start, a spark in the dark, until we create something from them.

In 2011 I am going to be thinking about the six heart virtues, reflecting on their meanings for me personally, and aiming to bring them into form through my everyday actions. 

This, I believe, is the purpose we all share, over and above any specific and unique life purpose.

The six heart virtues as described by James of the Wingmakers are:

• compassion
• forgiveness
• humility
• valour
• understanding
• appreciation

Here's to a splendid, sparkling 2011.  I see you, you shining light, and you are magnificent.

Shine on.
