FAREWELL

This is my last post to say __FAREWELL  !!  According to Blogger, a blog is NOT deleted... So if you wish to look at my blog again or for the first time, use the URL and search INDEX for the topic of your choice addressing briefly universal concerns we all have as human beings. (use the Q icon search top R of the blog)
If this blog gives you a love of nature, I am most happy since nature is the first doorway to Divine Reality/Spirit everywhere, in everyone and in everything...
We hope that this blog will remain "Good News" forever.  Thank you Blogger, thank you readers and viewers for sharing this blog.
If you see flaws in Christianity, read prophetic Richard Rohr, Pope Francis or Philip Yancey; if you are a Buddhist, read T. N. Hanh or ponder the words of the Dalai Lama; if Jewish, read Rabbi Harold Kushner; if Muslim, read Mirabai Starr; if you are non traditionalist, read E. Tolle and spend hours in nature. For anyone wanting an easy practical text, read Chittister and/or Easwaran.
This blog also includes the link to 8 (1-2 min videos) prepared by BFP that can be accessed at the end of the post on oneness, creation, prayer, love, beauty, peace, True Self and seasons. By googling: connect using photos or god moments, you can also access this blog.
Hope you find this universal blog meaningful.
With pride in my heart I write that I am a universal Christian and Jesus the Christ/Spirit is my guru. I am grateful to my parents and teachers who anchored me in that faith that continues to be nurtured by nature and by many writers/authors.Is Cristianity perfect?...Non-dual Jesus was and truly human. It is difficult to oppose his graceful command LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF and LOVE YOUR ENEMY...Yet, throughout the centuries,some christian actions were/are immature. Since we are ONE, regardless of the spirituality you have or don't have, you are my brother or my sister. And so is nature; Mother Earth is my sister and Father Cosmos, my brother.
I might consider still connecting using Facebook and/or Twitter and mostly with pictures and/or quotes.   For now,  those two venues still carry my blog, pictures, quotes and videos.Thank you FB and Twitter.
Wishing you peace and joy,
Namaste...(the Spirit in me greets the Spirit in you)......lucy matthews

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

Image
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
