Presence





What is the most magical thing you will see, hear, touch, or experience today?





Can you see that there is no possible way to know what that will be other than to stay as present as you can be in this moment?









Loving Kindness or Other

There are only two conditions: LOVING KINDNESS and OTHER. To work for peace, you must have a peaceful heart. To preserve peace, our hearts must be at peace with the world, with our brothers and our sisters. Trying to overcome damage with damage is not the way to make peace ...

Want

Wanting something is quite different than believing our happiness has anything to do with that person, place or thing. Happiness exists only as a place to come from, not to get to. The moment I believe I cannot live without it, have I not just become dependent? ...

Capacity

The Dalai Lama has said that “compassion occurs only between equals.” The capacity for everything resides within each of us. The moment I have the thought that I am "better than, smarter than or more important than, my ability to be of actual use is gone." Will I look today ...

Goodness

See and observe those who approach each person with love, kindness and compassion. Perhaps our greatest service is simply to find ways to strengthen and live closer to our goodness. This is far from easy. It requires an everyday attention, an awareness of all that diminishes us, distracts us, and ...

Within You, AND the Person Next to You!

The power to repair the world is already in you. When someone blesses you, it reminds you a little – untying the knots of belief and fear and self-doubt that have separated you from your own goodness. Freeing you to bless and receive blessings from everything around you. From the ...

Personally

Nelson Mandela, “As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.” To whom do you think Nelson Mandela was speaking? ...

Confusion; Really?

"These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.” Anthony de Mello Any Questions? ...

Conundrum

"A World That Works for Everyone" creates a conundrum for most people. If we believe it can be created, we might be considered wide-eyed and impractical. Really. If we believe it is impossible, doesn't that mean we are acknowledging that we are incapable of taking care of our family and ...

Allow

Allow us to be present to one and other. Encourage us to be present enough to know when silent support is all that is wanted and needed. Allow us to know when what we want is irrelevant. Allow us to know that the gift of love is always the foundation ...

Simplicity

Who have we loved today? To whom have we contributed our time, energy and/or money? Is it clear to us that every thing we do counts? The only question is will it be a contribution or a detriment? ...

One Second Only





If it is true that we have NO GUARANTEE of what will happen in the next second, and it is, why is it so often, especially of late, we are fearful?





Is it possible we have missed the miracle of this second?

And this one?

The truth is an experience.





Is it possible that the same thing believed can be a lie?
