"Keep going back to that inner child, he/she is alive in you." BK

Responsible for our Inner children too!

Ron Alexander: We must treat our inner children (infant, terrible twos- toddlers, pre-teenage, puberty tweeners, teenagers and young adults with love (tough love sometimes, respect, understanding and loving kindness).
Thanks Mary Rose Winkler

Our responsibility IS to SUPPORT our children's spirit and emotional being" ~ ...Cheril'Sword ~

(*** MARY: Another way of saying that 'we are not responsible for their emotional well being is "we have no right to alter a person's spirit/emotional body" correct? We are born whole, when the emotional body, spirit, mental is altered, do we live in alignment with our true selves?)

Thank you Michele for bring that forward

I see the hopeful inner child in everyone.

The Inner Child Reborn Even as adults, we all still retain the positive, healthy aspect of our inner child that expresses innocence, exuberance, and hope. This fresh view of life comes from the true self, and is an egoless state that lives within us. In today’s meditation, we discover how to reawaken our own inner child, as well as encourage it in others. As we learn this week to become a light of hope, it’s essential to remember that without filling our own cup first, we can’t truly give to others. Sleep is one of the most important (and often most overlooked) ways to deeply nourish yourself. In 7 Days to Restful Sleep.

Our centering thought for today is: I see the hopeful inner child in everyone. “Hope is the thing with feathers, / That perches in the soul, / And sings the tune without the words / And never stops at all…” – Emily Dickinson

Questions about our ego...zooming with Byron Katie

Ron, I see you, too.  I answered, but maybe you didn’t see it. Katie has said often, that she loves her ego but just does not mistake it for Herself.

I am a guardian of nature, as a healer of misery, as a messenger of wonder, as an architect of peace.

I swear I will not dishonor my soul with hatred, but offer myself humbly as a guardian of nature, as a healer of misery, as a messenger of wonder, as an architect of peace.

DIANE ACKERMAN Martin Luther King Jr./Quotes Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. The time is always right to do what is right. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Life itself is grace...

Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness...because in the last analysis all moments are key moments and life itself is grace.

Spiritual Sanitizers

"Wash" and "Spray" yourself with these spiritual practices so we can utilize spirituality to help us stay healthy:

• Affirmations: Know that in Truth you are Spirit, and whole and healthy and free. Rewire your brain from sickness thinking to healthy thinking.
• Affirm and feel God in you as your strength
• God in you can do anything but you have to let it happen
• Pray affirmatively, knowing that Spirit is joining you in staying healthy and "sanitizing" you
• Meditate using the techniques which heal your shadow side like mindfulness and vipassana
• Yoga to spiritually exercise the body and whatever other physical exercises you may do
• Of course, eat healthily, mindfully and spiritual

Bloom like a tree where you are planted....

May we never forget the crippled, wind-beaten trees, how they, too, bud, green and bloom. May we, too, take courage to bloom where we are planted.

"Most men (humans) live a life of quiet desperation."

I had not loved enough. I’d been busy, busy, so busy, preparing for life, while life floated by me, quiet and swift as a regatta.

LORENE CARY "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Thoreau Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify, simplify. Thoreau Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. Thoreau Henry David Thoreau Essayist Description Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher. A leading transcendentalist, he is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience", an argument for disobedience to an unjust state. Wikipedia

We did not ask for this room or this music. But because we are here, let us dance.

We did not ask for this room or this music; we were invited in. Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces toward the light. Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty...We did not ask for this room or this music. But because we are here, let us dance.

We cannot live for ourselves alone.

“We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.“

True Heroism

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others, at whatever cost.

ARTHUR ASHE

Let's love it back to wholeness, actually the world, the planet seems to be getting better while we suffer from coronavirus.

If grief can be a doorway to love, then let us all weep for the world we are breaking apart so we can love it back to wholeness again.

BECOME YOUR BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S KEEPERS....through CONNECTEDNESS!

When all the ordinary divides and patterns are shattered, people step up to become their brothers’ keepers. And that purposefulness and connectedness bring joy even amidst death, chaos, fear, and loss.

REBECCA SOLNIT (GRATEFULNESS.ORG) “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. ... “The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. ... “And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. ... “The spiritual path is not a solo endeavor.

A sense of eternity...

Stars and blossoming fruit-trees: utter permanence and extreme fragility give an equal sense of eternity.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. Victor Frankl

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom

There is a time to act, and a time to wait...From understanding, action arises that is purposeful, firm, and powerful.

There is a time to act, and a time to wait, to listen, to observe. Then understanding and clarity can grow. From understanding, action arises that is purposeful, firm, and powerful.

CHARLES EISENSTEIN(gratefulness.org)

We can do small things with great love.

The little things? The little moments? They aren't little.

JON KABAT-ZINN Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.  Mother Teresa

Welcome them all...anguish or elation,

There will be something, anguish or elation, that is peculiar to this day alone. I rise from sleep and say: Hail to the morning! Come down to me, my beautiful unknown. JESSICA POWERS
