aka_lol contributes “Symphony” by William Ellery Channing
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Some time ago, I was having a discussion about "God in all things" with a Christian on my site. At that time, blogger Jon commented with this response and was one the most clear and beautiful blog posts I've ever read.

I love the Zen-like quality of Jesus' teachings in the Gospel of Thomas. John Hiatt makes reference to the Gnostic gospels on his new CD -- I wrote about it on my blog, at http://wildfaith.blogspot.com/ (the "Gnostic Rock" entry).

Own your evil. Own your good. You are in between like a river between life and death. Without you these lands do not exist. Recognize these lands and yourself for what they are. Grasp the truth, and you can move to the next level.

I have been informed that this site is getting visitors from the Bedford area who are not at all familiar with Great River Institute and its work. Welcome!
If you arrived here via a Google search and think you may be at Great River Instituteâs website, well⦠youâre not; GRI does not have a website. This is neither an official nor unofficial GRI site. While I am both a student and instructor at GRI, the views expressed here only reflect my personal perspectives and inner journey.
This site has hundreds of articles/posts. If you want a brief introduction to what GRI or this blog is all about, check out these posts:
Def. (great river): connetquot: native american word meaning great river; the great spirit (native american), holy spirit (christian), ki (japanese), chi (chinese), prana (hindu), etc.


I visited each of these points and read for close to an hour- I've got so many bookmarked blogs that I'm going to have to retire to read each everyday.
Great points from each contributor and some awesome reading.
Great suggestion for sharing Mark.
No kidding... the same thing happened to me as they were coming in. I spent all kinds of time following links, and finding some new circles of really cool people.
