Detachment - nothing should own you

 

 

Rev. Richard Kent Matthews' excellent "sermon": (This is the day. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!! How's that??
Richard Kent Matthews I looked around and noticed I'm attached to everything. But all that will end...when I die. haaaaa
Ron Alexander: Rev. Richard Kent Matthews, you must be an extraordinarily large man to have all those attachments lol?
Richard Kent Matthews: Large in spirit and grateful to be in the physical world.
I hear and read so many people who are apparently not happy with being 'trapped' in the human experience. That includes the so called 'higher minded' types who think the mountain top is the only destination. In fact, here in the valley is where all the good things are happening, the things that heighten the worldly journey, the pain, the joy, the anguish and the ecstasy. As the saying goes, Enjoy yourself now, for you're a long time dead! Hear, hear
Some of us forget that the shaggy dog called Here and Now has as much purpose, as much spirit, and as much validity as any hereafter could ever have. In fact, there is no hereafter. It is all taking place right now, in this moment, the only moment that has ever existed. This is the day. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!! How's that??
