Daily Exercise





“This exercise requires no movement, no thinking and most of all no judgement or evaluation”





After you are awake and you realize you live in a miracle, everything is inter-connected and there is always a choice, do the following:





Watch a creature, a bird, an ant, a dog, person or a part of nature, the way a tree responds to wind, the flow of a river, stream or the tides of the ocean.





Really observe this being or phenomenon for fifteen minutes.





It is my experience that if you observe anything, really observe it, you will see that everything is miraculous. Miracles are all around us.









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? ...

Fall colors





There are a million differentiated colors on display in New England in the US
at this time of year!


And this has been a spectacular demonstration of the beauty in our world this year!





In my experience it is nothing compared to the miracle of you!

Breathing





It doesn’t sound like much.


Or does it.


To me, each breath means I am still alive and that life itself is miraculous.





What could be more practical or more magical than the experience that this second, this breath is a miracle?
