WORK AND GRACE
salaam(peace) children;
We know how, we know why, and for the most part we get close enough to the "when" but usually leave the scene as soon as the going requires more than 2 ounces of self discipline and sacrifice....
Now then children, bring your ears closer and listen to the secrets of the elders who attained the state of harmony:
If I don't have expectations, I shall not suffer the agony of them not being met.
If I catch myself just before a falling down event, I can ride the updrafts which is by nature's laws usually parallel to the force dragging me down at pretty much the same instant! Yep it is...
If I remind the self more often about the dual nature of the world around me, and not go so high in exalted moments, I won't have so far and deep of a fall even if I cannot catch the parallel sweet up draft.
If I offer the best of myself to any situation(always working to better myself), the situation usually turns out for the better.
If I busy myself improving who and what I am most of the time, I won't have time or reason to see others' faults and shortcomings. I learn to not be so down on myself in this process...
If I keep focused on the "big picture", on life in action(light and darkness flowing from the same source) from me to the infinity and back, I won't be able to hold on to the little pitty yesterdays or worry about the maybe's of tomorrow.
If I accept that everyone else is an extension of myself, like my hands picking up a towel to wipe
my forehead, I will have no problem helping and being unselfish. After all, just because
my heart muscles are so different from my feet muscles, that has never been a reason for them not to get along and give one another their best!
All of humanity my children is but one body, different as our own heart muscles and feet muscles, yet no pain shall be so local as to not effect the rest of the body. We hurt the children of Iraq, we shall feel the pain as though we hurt our own fingers without regard. If I hate the folks next door, I have brought hateret to my own front door...Harmony therefore my child, is a state of evolving into constant acceptance of all forms of energy and knowingly producing the least conflict..
ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY
We know how, we know why, and for the most part we get close enough to the "when" but usually leave the scene as soon as the going requires more than 2 ounces of self discipline and sacrifice....We see that the coin has two sides, we know that sunshine and happy weather is not permanent, that the gloomy days will come and the ugly is inevitable, yet and still when the dark side of the coin is presented to us (regardless of how), we fall down from the ship of joy and harmony and "choose" to go for the ride on that misery boat. We even go as far as holding on to the dark feelings long after the initial effect.
