How is it we have one day set aside for Thanksgiving, when in fact thanks giving is an every day affair? Every day is a gift, and I am grateful... Ann Mavis

If you know Love, you know God
If you seek Beauty, you seek God
If you yearn for Justice, you yearn for God
If you strive to find Truth, you strive to find God
If you give of yourself for others’ sake, you have served God

For nothing goes unnoticed, no ill deed, no small thoughtfulness, that isn’t added to the whole. We are all a part of the whole.  Anything that divides us, one from another, is not of God; we cannot remain divided against ourselves and expect to thrive. This, then, must be our overriding goal: to seek the ultimate good for all.  Ann Mavis
                                                        

Having used a number of different types and brands of compass, it seems to me that it matters very little what manner of compass you use. As long as the compass hasn’t been manhandled and it is utilized in a fashion that doesn’t  overcome its proper function, the red needle will always point Magnetic North.

Along these same lines…

Having examined a number of the world’s religious traditions, it seems to me that it matters very little which spiritual tradition you follow. Provided the message has not been manhandled and it is utilized in a fashion that does not overcome its proper function, virtually any spiritual practice will point you toward Ultimate Truth.

With both compasses and religions, it remains up to you to find your own way. Each is, in the end, merely a tool to assist you on your own personal journey.

An Affirmation for Perfect Health

My body is Perfect, Ha Ha!!

My body is Perfect, Hee Hee!!

Thank God, I Am Perfect,

Thank God, I Am Perfect

Thank God, I Am Perfect!

I'm FREE.

The ha ha, hee hee in this affirmation is to indicate joyfulness, a key ingredient. Remember the joy, remember that whatever you tell yourself becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The three times repetition is also key, 3 times indicates purposeful intent. Please use this freely and in good faith, but only if it "speaks" to you. Trust yourself, You will know.

The following poem is dedicated to Dylan, who knows why:

A Thousand Doves for Mother's Day

A thousand doves encircle round

me now, their wings a

dry rustle, rushing wind...

light bounds in all directions

reflected from their bodies,

brilliant points of light.

God's Love has Wings.
