The Practice of Humility: A Master Virtue
Michael Kroth • October 4, 2018
A Workshop At The Garden City Public Library
This is something I've been working on for a while. I choose topics - Grateful Living, Presence, and now The Practice of Humility - that I want to learn more about personally and professionally, that are related to living profoundly, and that might be especially useful to folks these days. So we will see how this goes. Please share with anyone you think might be interested.

The workshop is at the Garden City Public Library here in Idaho and lasts an hour and a half. It is free and open to the public.
Please call 208-472-2941 or email reference@gardencitylibrary.org to register.

Here are some initial thoughts about elegance, nature, and depth; a poem about happiness; and even a haiku.
It takes just a second to break something. Restoring what was broken takes time.
Outcomes are not certain, though some are much more highly predictable than others.
Life is messy. We know that. But some people move through that mess with a surprising kind of grace.
“The poor in spirit are by no means poor-spirited. They are persons who see so much to be, so much to do, such limitless reaches to life and goodness that they are profoundly conscious of their insufficiency and incompleteness.” ~Rufus Jones, The Inner Life , p. 19
