...when our hearts are full we need much less

  • Why the Hope?

    The defining moment in my life that shifted the way I was thinking...and brought me to ubuntu.

  • Who am I?

    Great question. Tough to answer.

  • What I do

    In the sense of living and breathing and working and playing.

    Humility is the quality of being humble: modest, not proud, self-abasing. Humility, in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue in many religious and philosophical traditions, being connected with notions of transcendent unity with the universe or the divine, and of egolessness. The term "humility" is derived from the Latin word humilitas, a noun related to the adjective humilis, translated not only as "humble", but also alternatively as "low", or "from the earth", and humus, "humid"; see English humus.

    I'd like to be known as coming from the earth...

    My dad always taught me that modesty and humility were two of the most important characteristics in life. I am so grateful that he did, because WOW was he right. It's so much easier to be gracious to people, to understand others opinions, to respect others choices, when we feel humble and open to humility.

    As Yehuda Berg puts it, "Humility is the foundation for all of our spiritual work.
    Be humble today. Allow others to have their opinions. Treat them as you wish to be treated."

    Just a little nugget. Of love. LOVE!
