Day 11 of the Season For Nonviolence: "Contemplation"

Greetings, family!

Today is February 9, and our word for today is, "Contemplation." For at least three inutes, relax, breathe, and let your mind be fed by whatsoever is good and beautiful. Many sacred texts tell us some variation of 'your thoughts shape your reality.'"

"The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival."--Aristotle

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is."--Bible

Today's exercise: I take a moment to relax, breathe, and let my mind be fed by what is good and beautiful. As I think, so I am! I will write down my thoughts and share them with others.

Today's affirmation: "Today, I cause a ripple effect of good by an act of kindness toward another."

YOU AND GOD ARE ONE (Janis Kelly @2006)

In the stillness of this moment,
all is perfect, peaceful, love;
In this quiet contemplation,
wisdom flows from above;
As you free your mind of fear and lack,
hold on to what is real;
Then you and God are truly one.

If you search within your heart,
you will find a still, small voice;
That whispers to your soul
of who you’ve always been;
As you trust your inner guidance
and your own divinity;
Then you and God are truly one.

You are one with the Spirit, you are one with its love;
You are one with its presence and its power;
You are one with the Creator of the whole universe;
You are one with the light of the world!

In the stillness of this moment,
all is perfect, peaceful, love;
In this quiet contemplation,
wisdom flows from above;
As you free your mind of fear and lack,
hold on to what is real;
Then you and God; then you and God;
Then you and God are truly one—you’re one!

Peace, blessings & brillience,

Janis
