Thank you beautiful and loving HUman Beings for this wonderful train....

If only we could recognize the inner voice, we would see that the different scriptures all contain words spoken by one and the same voice. Some hear the voice, others only hear the words, just as in nature some see only the branches and others the roots of the tree; but all these different scriptures and ways of worship and of contemplating God are given for one purpose: the realization of unity. In unity resides the happiness and illumination of man, and his guidance in life. We all know unity… Continue

"...Sometimes in the reflection of somebody else, we can see our own magnificence. By experiencing the love of another person, we can see how great we are. From one artist to another, we might see it's possible to improve our own art..."

Warm Wishes and Tithings to All

HE does not need to transplant us into a different field, but right where we are, with just the circumstances that surround us. He makes His sun to shine and His dew to fall upon us, and transforms the very things that were before our greatest hindrances, into the chiefest and most blessed means of our growth. No difficulties in you case can baffle Him. No dwarfing of your growth in years that are past, no apparent dryness of your inward springs of life, no crookedness, or deformity in any of… Continue

Share your love, vulnerability, and sensitivity, and don't make the other person wrong. From that place, you can ask for any level of support in a relationship.

Who so is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving-kindness of the Lord. - PS. cvii.43



WHAT channel needs our faith, except the eyes?

God leaves no spot of earth unglorified;

Profuse and wasteful, lovelinesses rise;

new beauties dawn before the old have died.



Trust thou thy joys in keeping of the Power

Who holds these changing shadows in His hand,

Believe and live, and know that hour by hour

Will ripple… Continue

IN your occupations, try to possess your soul in peace. It is not a good plan to b in haste to perform any action it may be the sooner over. On the contrary, you should accustom yourself to do whatever you have to do with tranquility, in order that you may retain the possession of yourself and of setttled peace.

GRATITUDE MUST BEGIN WITH THE ONE WHO CREATED US because we receive the greatest gift from our Creator: Life. How can we sincerely show our gratitude to God and say thank you from the bottom of our hearts? The best way to show our gratitude is to receive the gift, and give our thanks by enjoying the gift, by living our lives fully and completely.





prayer for GRATITUDE:



TODAY, CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, MY HEART IS filled with gratitude for the gift of life you… Continue

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.



As far as possible, without surrender,

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even to the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;

they are vexatious to the spirit.



If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain or bitter,

for… Continue

Hello Dear Peacemakers,



We invite you to take a moment now to attune to the Peace that is Present:



Focus on your breathing.

Whatever you hear, focus on your breath as it moves in and out,

Bringing you into the here and now.



This is where loving and peace reside.



Relax into the loving.

Be aware of peace radiating through you and extending out from you,

To gently hold… Continue

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

I wonder if a person can change momentum in the course of history.

I wonder if that person found gratitude

When apparent woe surrounds her form,

What would be the difference?



For example, rather than saying

"death to ..." if a person says

"Rebirth to ...."

How simple words can transform

A complaint to praise !!!

What would be the outcome?



I wonder if we truly exercise patience and compassion

In every sense, how would the course… Continue
