Everybody wants to go to Heaven, nobody wants to die. From an old spiritual song, author unknown.
There is an illusion to be removed - that happiness can be
without suffering, that well-being can be without ill-being, that right can be
without left. Thich Nhat Hanh, "Going Home - Jesus and Buddha As Brothers"
To be truly secure, we must begin to find a source of
security within ourselves. Eknath Easwaran, "Words to Live By, Inspiration
for Every Day" (January 29)
Your very extremity will ensure My activity for you. "God
Calling" (January 29)
I am fascinated by my continuing desire, when I hit a rough
place in my road, to either castigate myself for hitting a rough place or to
quick shoot a prayer to Santy-God to get me out of it…when I know full well,
from my own personal experience, that “this, too, shall pass.”
I know that there is no Santy-God out there, that this
rough place/difficult person is my angel, here by my own invitation, to
help me shuck my shields, i.e., detach from my reasoning mind solutions…to
realize, yet again, that it does rain on the just and the unjust alike, and I
am getting my rain at the exactly right time in the exactly
right place and amount.
My own Rainmaker within is right on time…doing what It does
for my own personal, spiritual growth.
Thank You.
