shaman's thoughts

We have yet to learn as a whole how our humanity depends on and gets its fuel from our innermost intentions. Regardless of how cordial we are, how civil we try to be on the outside, it is the force of our intentions that runs our world. Be careful then my child what you think deep inside.

At the risk of sounding like a cliché I must say it because it is so true. "I was complaining because I had no shoes, until I met a man with no feet" any time you think your life is hard my child, look around the world you live in, even further, look overseas for the war torn famine gripped under way under privileged folks who's only fault was living in that certain geographical location. Give thanks my child, always .

Harmony and balance lie in the middle, center of all matters of thought and emotions. Learn my child to curb your elations and distraught from going to their extremes. In just doing so you will have found your own center of calm.

So here is a good one for you; I have no idea what happened to 2-25-04! Another 24 hour slice of life gone forever into the cemetery of dead seconds for which there was not a log made into the book of the Family of Adam. If you happen to come across such a day within the windmills of your mind, grab on to today before it joins yesterday my child.

I heard somewhere that many will receive good counsel but only the wise benefit from it. Every one I meet is at once my pupil and my teacher if I am indeed the wise one.

The measures we use to judge others are gauranteed to be used when others judge us. Why not then use less stringent and impossible measures to insure our own ability to live up to them ourselves. Does not everyone fall the same?

There is a subtle way in which we all attempt to get our way in most situations which can fool the best of tricksters. I have wittnessed young kids 4 or 5 years old use these techniques like a master of manpulation. Is this how we lost our inocence you suppose? Oh how I long for the day when honesty and integrity are the norm and we don't have to worry about being fooled by any trickery of little ones or big ones. Specially in advertisements, commerce and personal relationships. Dream on old man!
