Every where I go these days the subject of ourconversations seem to go towards the art of being good natured and peaceful. Like not having a tightness of stomach muscles and physical pain every time the name George Bush is mentioned or his voice is broadcasted. I tell my daughter about how I have learned not to make this man or any other for that matter the subject or reason for my having a bad day. Can I change the other person or thing outside of me to make me feel better? Of course not. I need to learn to not make other things, people or places as the cause of my unhappiness. No amount of my hating George bush is going to stop the masacare in Iraq of inocent soldjers and children just as no amount of my yelling at God will stop the Tsonami kind of activities. These are matters outside of me which I cannot control, but I can control my reations to them. That my child, is where we all need to be individually before the whole is changed.
LEGACY OF A JOURNEY
LOOK WHO IS? Salaam(peace children); What does the sparrow say to Spring in the air? when will my children see unity in face of all separateness? When the time is right, only then will the true seeker see, even with the same eyes which hitherto were unable to do so. Ripen apples fall freely from the tree no reason to hold on to the old life once I was an unripen fruit once I had visions of grandeur and magnificence! Ahhh....how fools rush in where wise men will not enter. Be ever so like the river flowing, not clinging free from the form free from the pain forms contain always seeking the WAY HOME! From morning until night fall that is all THAT IS ALL ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY
