30 December

The weakest force in the universe - gravity - is what shapes the entire universe. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the Earth. At the time of the writing of the gospels, ‘meek’ meant gentle, or soft. Gentle people shape the world much more than the strong. Gentleness is the opposite of weakness, a ‘hard man’ or woman is the weakest of all human beings. It takes real strength to be gentle, in the face of life’s challenges.
