BLESSING FOR ALL

BLESSING FOR ALL

 ABSOLUTE/ULTIMATE/ DIVINE REALITY/ONE, MAY WE LIVE IN THE AWARENESS OF YOUR PRESENCE  EVERYWHERE, WITHIN US, AMONG US, IN THE BEAUTY OF NATURE AND THE HARMONY OF THE COSMOS. BY LIVING SO, MAY WE EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE FOR YOUR LOVE AND GIVE YOU GLORY AND PRAISE IN THE MOMENT.
AMEN...SO BE IT.


PRAYER  should bring us to an altar where no walls or names exist.    Rabia

Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-ending stream!
May that stream gather momentum in this place...Prophet Amos



PRAISE !!


BLESSINGS/PRAYERS HAVE NO BOARDERS.

 When Archbishop Tutu visited  the Dalai Lama in India on his 80th birthday, towards the end of their visit, the Archbishop gave the following blessing to the Dalai Lama, a blessing we can all receive.

“Dear Child of God (Pure Being), you are loved with a love that nothing can shake, a love that loved you long before you were created, a love that will be there long after everything has disappeared. You are precious, with a preciousness that is totally quite immeasurable. And God wants you to be like God... Filled with life and goodness and laughter—and joy."

 From their meeting was born the writing of THE BOOK OF JOY, 2016, with Douglas Abrams
Their meeting also shows us how transcending our faith, sharing unity, oneness with others, can bring us peace and joy.

DESERT BEAUTY

Image
A CACTUS IN BLOOM SPEAKS OF PRAISE A WHOLE DESERT SPEAKS OF STILLNESS The desert is like a monastery where one meets Presence. Sometimes life's events feel desert-like; yet we are not alone, in the midst of our solitude, we find Presence, Stillness... The desert is a place of transformation and freedom. It can mean a place to die... The desert is a mystical place where creation and God are ONE. God is an artist...."How Great Thou Art"...(hymn) "The beauty of the world is Christ's smile for us coming through matter."  Simone Weil Desert beauty invites stillness; it connects us with our true Self, our Divine Self. And that is beauty!! ( photos on this post were sent by a friend from Tucson, Az ) Search NATURE BEAUTY or INDEX http:// connectwithlucyusingphotos. blogspot.com

SURRENDER...LET GO...ACCEPT

Image
SURRENDER is  not  giving up as when an army submits to the other side. Surrender means letting our Higher Self  (called the Universal Force/Flow by Singer) take control of our life.  For that to happen, we have to let go the voice of ego ( voice of resistance) chattering in our mind wanting to control events. For years I had been willing to let go of my personal preferences and focus on doing the absolute best I could with what life presented to me...a life built for me, not by me. Challenging situations create the force needed to bring about change. I was learning to sit quietly in the midst of the howling winds and wait and to see what constructive action was being ask of me.    Michael A. Singer from his book THE SURRENDER EXPERIMENT, 2015,  (post inspired by that book) If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.    Buddha Self conquest is really self-surrender.    Thomas Merton Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to the span of your life?   Lk 12:2

PARADOX

PARADOX    According to the dictionary, a paradox  is a statement appearing contradictory, yet true. Life is a paradox because many events seeming disastrous, bring us meaning and joy. New life means death to behavior destroying us. We need both solitude and community to survive. Breathing to be whole requires both inhaling and exhaling...Negative and positive events are part of life and therefore requires no judging.  The wisdom is in resisting to label them bad or good but simply in accepting the event as it is. Darkness often brings light. Our struggles, crosses, suffering, pain,  can be transforming. (see yin/yang.... two opposite but complementary, bringing balance to life) If we can live with the tension of opposites, we might find freedom and hope because in the midst of tension, Someone is there taking care of us... In our struggle, we eventually see the blessing, the Grace moment, the God moment. Like Jonas, I find myself traveling toward my destiny in the belly of paradox
