The tray is designed to equalize content across all cubes, so that they all have equal amounts of water. Eventually the really full cube will have much less - and no more than anyone else.<br /><br />This is a sad waste of potential and fulfillment.<br /><br />I love your passion, Leonard and I love the way you incubate it in others.<br /><br />The world owes a debt of gratitude to people like you.<br /><br />Take care and create a great day!<br /><br />HarryHarry Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329922320940535781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-18703867609936465852009-05-12T13:49:00.000-06:002009-05-12T13:49:00.000-06:00Harry,
I resonate with your passion for "passion."...Harry,<br />I resonate with your passion for "passion." I want to comment on the influence we have on groups and the impact group consciousness has on us. <br /><br />We become more like those who surround us. If we unconsciously hang around groups who focus on "getting by" then that will be our area of focus. However, if we surround ourselves with passionate people who question life and live in the now, we cannot help but become more like them. <br /><br />There is power in numbers and I believe the power of 12 has been demonstrated throughout history as highly significant. If we look at the 12 closest or most influential people in our lives. we will see that they represent our thoughts and beliefs. <br /><br />When we live out of passion, we circulate our influence with those in our circle. If some in the circle don't resonate with the passion or want to hold us back, then we will alter the members to include those who truly resonate. <br /><br />What your article suggests is that we not fall asleep but rather stay awake and keep others awake so we can live life as it's meant to be - full on from the heart. I passionately agree!Leonard Szymczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893729795403461221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-21163653743319913212009-05-12T09:20:00.000-06:002009-05-12T09:20:00.000-06:00Hey Peter,

I perso...Harry, <br /><br />Like usual very inspiring muse!!!<br />I personally don't know what I would do if I could not live my passion as it is a major part of me as a person both spiritually and intellectually. <br /><br />I like the irony in the beach senerio as how true it is! It reminds me of the song about "Signs"!!!<br /><br />I am going to look into this book and add it to my reading list.<br /><br />Thank You and Blessings, <br /><br />PeterPeter jarmicsnoreply@blogger.com
