Soul Food: Week of May 15, 2022

“Soul Food” is a regularly updated calendar of meditations sometimes questioning conventional wisdom & often suggesting eternal values

Sunday: We are spinning our own fates, good or evil, never to be undone. William James

Monday: I have made all the calculations. The rest is up to Fate. Napoleon Bonaparte

Tuesday: I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. Stephen Hawking

Wednesday: What you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, that sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences? Rev. Graham Hess in “Signs”

Thursday: A part of fate is the freedom of man. Forever wells up in the impulse of choosing and acting in his soul. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Friday: This is our high destiny, and in nature’s eternal, inevitable decree of cause and effect we must accomplish it. All this will be our future history, to establish on earth the moral dignity and salvation of man – the immutable truth and beneficence of God. John L. O’Sullivan on Manifest Destiny 1839
