Daily Inspiration: We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the world as we find it; including the thorns. ~O.S. Marden

Today’s Affirmation: I bring compassion into every moment in my day.

Today's Spiritual Contemplation: Thorns are always the result of resisting a greater idea.  That idea is always an idea of greater good for all.  It is always available and it is always made available through love and compassion.  Ultimately life can be lived thorn free.
