Thought for the Day

. . . real revolution takes place not through mass movements

 but through the inward revaluation of relationship; that alone

 is real reformation, a radical, continuous revolution. We are 

afraid to begin on a small scale. Because the problem is so 

 vast, we think we must meet it with large numbers of people, 

with a great organization, with mass movements. Surely, we must

begin to tackle the problem on a small scale, and the small scale is

 the "me" and the "you". When I understand myself, I understand you, 

and out of that understanding comes love. Love is the missing factor; 

there is a lack of affection, or warmth in relationship; and because

 we lack that love, that tenderness, that generosity, that mercy

 in relationship, we escape into mass action which produces

 further confusion,  further misery. We fill our hearts with

 blueprints for world reform and do not look to that

one resolving factor which is love.
