DETACH...OR, LOVE AND LAUGH

Again and yet again, I preach to my bathroom mirror: It is our thoughts that need our prayer, our prayer of gratitude, our thank you prayer. We might take a hint from the Sermon: Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from [ego]. 

However wicked, rancid or judgmental our thoughts may want to be, we must needs remember all they lack is love. Just like you, just like me, just like the Pope and the President, all we need is love. Imagine. (Or, listen to the Beatles and relax.)

To live our life, to learn as we live...neither gets more complicated nor more true than to meet and greet them with love. When we master that, we can't not laugh.

Face it, keeping our life, learning how to live it, as simple as possible is the goal...in other words, detach, detach, detach. As beautifully preached centuries ago by Meister Eckhart: God is not found in the soul by adding anything, but by a process of subtraction.

Thank you.
