THINK as though the whole of the sky was a screen displaying your thoughts; SPEAK as though the whole of life is but one ear listening to your words; ACT as though the fruit of every action was to return to you right away. I don't remember where I read or heard this, it sounds Zen so we'll go with that. In reality my love you have already had your brother's wife in bed the instant your thoughts went that way(and your brother knows it!). Can I be so transparently truthful? Do I say one thing and do another all the while fooling only myself that no one else knows? Does it matter if you tell me what you really think of my life if your thoughts are on display in the skies above for all to see? Can you say you care with your tongue, think quite the opposite in your mind then expect harmony? We are spiritual works in progress not finished products. Learning as we go, we may never be able to be the Master that Christ was or Buddha, but we need to try! The need for this shaman is like air and oxygen. Every thought, every action, every word must match up every time! Ponder this!
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
