as i look back on some of my earlier posts, i wonder if i am guilty of foisting what i might have considered at the time to be a more illuminated viewpoint upon other posters. i have certainly been guilty at times of believing myself to have a better handle on a given topic, based on the topic of someone else's post, and strive to remind myself that each of us here has something unique to offer.

i guess this is an issue of ego, as jo anne has mentioned lately, in her thread 'what the heck', and sort of felt a little chastened upon reading it. i am learning that all these viewpoints are equally valid and precious, as each viewpoint will find a heart with which to resonate. it is not for me to judge the correctness or appropriateness of your personal thought processes as pertains to this forum. if i am guilty of abusing anyone's love and enthusiasm for their own thoughts, i do apologize. i wish to be a source of inspiration for others, but not at the expense of minimizing in any way the sacred insights of others. i will continue to learn to be more sensitive to all your polite and intrinsically valuable posts and recognize more fully the purpose of this forum, in which we, all of who wrestle with the veil of forgetfulness, offer our most beautiful inner truths, as best we can. please don't be daunted by my or anyone else's apparent lack of sensitivity or 'humbility'.
