The Zen Master asked, “A piece of gold, a pile of mud. Which is more useful?”

The monk answered, “The gold, of course.”

The Master replied, “But to a seed?”

He continued, “Everyone has a purpose.”

~ from the film, “Shaolin: Protect The Temple”

friends, you belong here. you have value and purpose, just as you are. as life, you bring life to those around you, flowering in your own unique way, your own unique and beautiful embodiment of this one life, this one love, we call home.
