Adoration

Since my brain is mush tonight, someone else’s words to take in, to ponder:

“A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Adore what you will, but know that you will become like that thing or person. For some, this is quite frightening. For me, this gives peace and hope.
