WORD FOR THE DAY (gratefulness.org)
Wednesday, Aug. 19
Life is no brief candle to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch
which I have got hold of for the
moment, and I want to make it burn
as brightly as possible before handing
it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
From a speech given at the Municipal Technical College and School of Art in Brighton

You are sailing on a Cosmic Sea all through the Universe. Your Eternal Vessel is powered by the Winds of Love filling your infinite sails while piloted by Great Spirit. Your angelic Crew love and support you unconditionally. You are surrounded and protected by powerful Angel dolphins swimming, jumping, dancing, playing, seemingly flying over and under omnipotently.
I’m writing to explore the possibility of collaborating with folks who are into alternative design/construction, esp those interested in spirals & geodomes, based in USA.
Rainbow Dreaming – Tales from the Age of Aquarius is a multi-media photo expo on the alternative culture of the rainbow region of Australia. This exhibit has been invited to participate in the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock celebrations in USA. (see www.rainbowdreaming.org)

DIVINE GRACE AND THE MAINIFESTATION OF HEAVEN ON EARTH
Greetings beloved ones,
Kindly contemplate the words Divine Grace and the expanded potential of the manifestation of divine grace.

Duality is on its last legs. The increasing polarity that fuels our battle of opposites is unsustainable, much like a rubber band that is being stretched past its breaking point.
We see its effects everywhere as the extremes struggle at every turn, unable to compromise on even the smallest point and willing to fight to the death to get their way.
Yet, those extremes are becoming less and less relevant to the sense of knowing it unleashes within us that there must be… Continue

From the laughter of children at play to the golden rays of the sun beaming through the sky at sunset, the eternal song of love permeates all creation. Each beat of our heart pulses to this rhythm in a majestic and graceful dance connecting us to everyone and everything. Life is magnificent when we quiet our outer selves and become fully present and aware of our own loving essence.
To know this grander love is to go beyond the sensation of a first kiss or a mother’s tender touch in… Continue

One of the more engaging families that has set up residency at the waterhole is a small and demure colony of frogs... gentle little creatures who busy themselves with sunning on lily pads or having a nosh on the banks of the pond, snatched morsels made up of inattentive insects and newly emerging plant… Continue
What is reflected in one of us is reflected in all of us.
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these."
George Washington Carver

The Jesus Bulletin~~~
Emergency Channeling from Ascended Master ~Jesus.
This just in folks.
Buckle your seat belts.
Ever since I began to hear music, I've wondered where it was all leading.
Well, today, I found out in a big way!
Ascended Master Jesus, paid me a rare visit.
I wasn't sure it was him, until he brought in St. Jude
Once Jude arrived, I knew something was cooking in the Upper---
Top Level---

Back in the 60s Donovan had a song about happiness, and he observed that; "Happiness runs in a circular motion, everybody is a part of everything..." Native American, African and Eastern philosophers & spiritual masters had long recognized the circle of life, and perceived it as the same circular motion... a circle of joy, a circle of happiness. Only western man, the Europeans, were given to linear thought... and because of their failure to realize the interconnectedness of all things,… Continue
I'm not sure why I'm typing this.
Especially since I'm almost all type out.
(Yes I see the typo there, I'm too lazy to go back and correct it.)
That's all.
I was trying to settle down the other morning---
Actually, it wasn't the other morning, it was yesterday morning.
Time is behaving weirdly, as I've mentioned before.
But anyway, I couldn't focus on finishing up some of my stories.
I figured I'd pop into Crone to the Bone and read, maybe limit… Continue
Vipassana means to see things as they really are. This group is for the primary purpose of discussing your experiences, questions, and insights with Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka.
A new group has started, and Vipassana appears to be the answer to my prayers of how to really liberate myself, or at least be on the path(Dhamma).
Vipassana is one of India's most ancient meditation techniques. Long lost to humanity, it was rediscovered by Gotama the Buddha…Continue

Uncork the champagne and celebrate a major victory for animals! Bolivia has enacted the world's first law that prohibits the use of animals in circuses. If activists can shut down animal circus acts in Bolivia, a global action network on Ning can shut down bile farming in China and Korea!There's great hope from the precedence this law sets.
Anxiety is new to me. I am not sure why now, or why so intense. I can only guess, due to specific areas of growth in my life, that I am feeling some things that I have not allowed myself to feel in the past. These emotions have likely accumulated to the point that, once felt, it is a bit overwhelming, and overwhelmed I am. In the end this is only a guess, but the anxiety is here, and seems to be hanging on for a bit. Due to this hanging on aspect I have decided to try and allow it to be there,… Continue
