After all is said and done, after all our spiritual practices and all the esoteric knowledge that might be acquired, the real measure of soulfulness is simply the degree of our humility, gratitude, patience, and love.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Thank you...great posting selection! May I add "benevolence" to those attributes?
Good Doctor:
So good to hear from you. Yes, I think benevolence would fit nicely among those others.
Thanks for stopping by.
