And the exact specificness of the teacher's question. I wan't making it personal, why did you? It is only about the question not the person asking or answering it.<BR/>DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049870716519306645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718308414964784473.post-16704138698969211772008-07-16T04:16:00.000-07:002008-07-16T04:16:00.000-07:00Dan,According to the Latin teacher, he did get an ...Dan,<BR/>According to the Latin teacher, he did get an answer. Perhaps what you meant was that he didn't get an answer that would satisfy you. <BR/><BR/>BobBob Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291436751199050107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718308414964784473.post-91659112144360749122008-07-10T06:21:00.000-07:002008-07-10T06:21:00.000-07:00I'm afraid your latin teacher didn't get an answer...I'm afraid your latin teacher didn't get an answer.

Obviously we express all aspects of ourselves in community, and the love that we have for each other is what also holds the balance there. I think I am saying that in every aspect of our lives it is the spiritual aspect that holds the balance and that I would therefore not put "God" in a box but see it as the thing that brings it all together in balance. Lots to think about.maggiegarbutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466065364269225849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718308414964784473.post-48754870707672321942008-06-22T05:33:00.000-07:002008-06-22T05:33:00.000-07:00Thanks, Maggie.

It continues to be an important thing for me on my path. <BR/>So, in your own working this past year, where have you found and what wisdom have you gained around balance?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402706232284185578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718308414964784473.post-79779333710043378472008-06-21T18:27:00.000-07:002008-06-21T18:27:00.000-07:00Dear BobI always love your stuff on the wisdom exc...Dear Bob<BR/><BR/>I always love your stuff on the wisdom exchange and this really spoke to me, I have been working all year on the concept of balance.
