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?

If we use the Judeo-Christian story of CREATION, one cell from Adam, one from Eve, creating a single cell and thus evolved the whole human race. If we use DARWIN, from humans, back to mammals, birds, reptiles, eventually to the Amoeba, a single cell, and thus the human race. No ...

How things turn out for our world will depend solely upon how every single one of us chooses to act. If we do not do what needs to be done in order to create a world that works for everyone, and speak with everyone we know about it, how can ...

“When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying, ‘You’re too this, or I’m too this.’ That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.”
~ Ram Dass
How about spending next week turning trees into people?

When things are not going well in our immediate surroundings,
it is more difficult to realize that we are a miracle and that we live in one.
So we complain and look for someone to blame
for how it got to be this way.
I wonder what might happen in our surroundings
if we did not complain at all, not even once, for an entire week?
