IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Pretending to be someone you're not will gain you nothing. Live authentically, and put the power of truth on your side. ~Ralph Marsten

Today I am grateful...
  • for gratitude lists
  • to have remembered to start this morning with the 'A Place Called Earth' video. It gets me right-sized.
  • to marvel at the shadows this morning while still dark outside. What a gift sight is.
  • for the gifts of sight and visions
  • for last night's call from Boston, sorry I wasn't home
  • for doors that, when opened, allow me to never be the same
  • that I make a difference every day

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Baba taught me to take responsibility for my life, for my actions, and for myself…To have devotion, to have love for (God), does not mean that you just sit there and do nothing and let (God) do everything. It means to take responsibility. --Gurumayi Chidvilasananda

I loved watching Oliver Wendell Holmes and his wife Lisa when they lived in Hooterville.
Thanks for reminding me.

It is amazing to see how beauty can be seen in shadows more so how some can call out for an appreciation.

Beautiful, and thanks for my spiritual "shot" of the day... I been trying to find it :) Is the video (a place called earth) in which you speak something I can purchase?

You know that line (I think it is in the 12 x 12-but don't hold me to it), that we will be seized with a rebellion so sickening that we will be unable to pray?

I've been there for awhile, I am still praying but I'm not always "feeling
it", ya know? It's happened before, it'll happen again. I know what it is as does my sponsor and I'm walking through it with a lot of help.

My point in this is that I am "feeling it" in your posts, that connection, that sunlight of the spirit. And I thank you for this, for allowing God to use you as an instrument.

You just keep fucking nailing it. Tomorrow I will take action.
