Misplaced Outrage





Another horrendous shooting, this time in New Zealand. Hand wringing. Outrage.


What is completely misunderstood is that there is only one way to stop this and every other type of violence.

In Maine and London there have been a significant number of rainy/cloudy days this Spring, perhaps even more than usual. Weather does not dictate the attitude one brings to a day. Every time you choose to create a magical day, no matter what the weather, can you see that you ...

EARTH FAMILY

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 ...

“He said that if you are angry with your brother, you are already in hell. Anger is hell. You only need to kill in your mind and you are already there. Our enemy is not the other person, no matter what he or she has done. Educators, legislators, parents, journalists, ...

Damage

Each time we speak in a damaging way about another person, we are actually revealing our own fear and insecurity. Each time we refuse to do that ourselves or allow others to do so in our presence, we bring forth the possibility of healing for everyone involved. Why is it ...

OMG

What causes you (and me) to be trapped is what we call personal importance. Personal importance, or taking things personally, is the maximum expression of selfishness because we make the assumption that everything is about “me”. Nothing other people do is because of you. Don Miguel Ruiz, MD OMG, if ...

Connection
