Let these funny Communion Quotes from my large collection of funny quotes about life add a little humor to your day.
Through Qigong, one learns to quiet the mind
and allow communion with the One.
We call the One "Tao," but you may be more comfortable
with a term like "Holy Spirit," or "God,"
as long as you don't start visualizing
an old man on a throne floating in the sky.
The One is everything, and everything is the One.
Each of us is the One, and the One is inside each of us.
Just remember that it's an infinity thing -
the tiniest bit of infinity is still infinite.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Let children walk with Nature,
let them see the beautiful blendings
and communions of death and life,

as taught in woods and meadows,
plains and mountains and streams
of our blessed star,
and they will learn that death
is stingless indeed,
and as beautiful as life.
- John Muir
Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.

- George Washington Carver

of our family, our friends, our co-workers, our community, wouldn't it?
If anything, it is of even more moment to honor yourself.
Those who are successful and happy earn their own
self-respect and self-esteem.

a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and

the limiting fence of our own events,
activities and preoccupations.
The opportunity for a heroic gesture

in the midst of a holiday bustle.
If you are attentive,
you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.

your family, your friends, and your community
is the example you set, leading a great life that inspires
those around you to emulate your being.

but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy,

and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in every country.

while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.
