[quote:Anonymous Coward 1037270:MV8xNjE4MDQ2XzI4OTM1NjA5XzE3RUIxRTA3] [quote:Lion of Judah:MV8xNjE4MDQ2XzI4OTM1NDkwX0JDNzFDOTg0] [quote:Queen Bea of Useless Knowledge:MV8xNjE4MDQ2XzI2NzI3MjA0XzkzMEYzMTcw] Agreed, I've let go of vanity. Will own I was tied to it, the concept of external beauty. I covered my mirrors, eschewed my "makeup" and let my hair grow wild. I've felt closer to the source since then. External beauty means nothing... it's the internal that should be cultivated (in my view). I haven't had anyone running from me like I'm hideous, so it's all good, lol. I have noticed my waist long hair's beginning to make my family and friends uncomfortable, mostly women folk who seem... jealous or stifled though... asking me when I'll cut it. I won't. I feel it's as it should be. [/quote] I agree, I used to be ultra vain when I was young now I realise what's important is on the inside. I was much happier when I was a youngster when I was just myself. I have learned that the least important words in this world are " I, me, and mine and of course 'want'. [/quote] Thank you for reminding me of this. We were talking about hair earlier and it relates :) My big thing now is learning how to balance my sense of extreme hospitality to the point I'm not overrun with guests constantly. And thanks for helping us revive this thread. I'd forgotten how enlightening and fun it was when it was active. [/quote]

Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. And after they have reigned they will rest."
