Awakenings ~

The well of experience.

Our inner resources are bottomless - like the spirit itself.  Next time you need to draw upon some aspect of your inner strength - perhaps your courage, patience or tolerance - imagine lowering a bucket into a well. No matter how much energy you draw from this source, there will always be vast reserves still left in place. As you raise your bucket, make a vow to use this energy wisely and lovingly.  (from 1001 Meditations)
