People Working Together Bring Good Result

 
 
 
"People working together is the lesson of our time. Understanding that our speech, our thought, our action, like a wind upon the sea, effect us all. And people of like mind working with mutual respect and cooperation bring good result."

Courage to Undertake Great Works or ?

 
 
 
 
Keep alive within you and bring under wise control that courage which makes you long to undertake great works, which others might consider it folly to attempt.
St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier(gratefulness.org)
Embrace the World
Well, I have to admit, I still have the thoughts that somehow, my works are for a great cause, however my energy is diminishing as I get older, so I wonder if peaceful acceptance is more conducive to my emotional well-being now?
 

 
 

Today, with each one I meet, let me quietly bless them. Let me bless them with my acceptance, by refraining from preaching or telling them anything, by refusing to demand change of any kind, by refusing to give any signal that they are less than perfect. Thus I communicate the truth. ACIM

"If someone doesn't want to receive love in the way you think you want to offer it, you consider the energy of unconditional love, where you see and honor the wisdom potential of that other being without expectation of anything in return."

Juicing despite not feeling like it...

Gathered my energy enough to go out and get some juicing vegies. Drinking glassful now - yummi with extra ginger to clear out those sinuses. I make a gallon, freezing it after getting first glass. Carrots, Aloe Vera, Broccoli, Ginger, Cocon...ut Water, Kale, and spirulina. Most pharmacies have the pure aloe vera - gallon for $7! the container from last time that I use for freezing. I can feel myself getting healthier by the minute!

Beata Maria Hi Ron! Yum!! I heard that they lose lot of vitamins after refrigeration. I see that you freeze them - does that preserve the vitamins? If so - that's brilliant!! Greetings to you, my friend!
Ron Alexander Yes, Beata Maria, the quick freezing preserves the vitamins, and I take it out of the freezer tomorrow and it stays partially frozen till the last day - delicious!
Beata Maria Thanks for the healthy tip! 

When we sit down to meditate

 
Photo: "When we sit down to meditate, we connect with something unconditional - a state of mind, a basic environment that does not grasp or reject anything. Meditation is probably the only activity that doesn't add anything to the picture. Everything is allowed to come and go without further embellishment. Meditation is a totally nonviolent, non aggressive occupation. Not filling the space, allowing for the possibility of connecting with unconditional openness - this provides the basis for real change." ~ Pema Chodron

Great reminder and "The Rich need love too"!

Here is one of my fav. Mother Teresa stories, and I know it is true because a friend of mine was friend of a friend of the journalist involved.  This journalist went to her orphanage in Kalkuta and found a baby on the steps, so she took the baby in and the nuns in there were so happy to see the new baby and just started pouring love into her. Impressed, she watched them as she waited on Mother Teresa. When she was finally invited in to the little bent woman's office, she was  greeted very warmly and thanked for bringing the new baby in. When she started interviewing her, this very well-dressed high class Indian Couple barged in. The woman with silk robes and lots of jewelry came in and threw her expensive coat at the journalist treating her like lower cast. Then she roughly grabbed Mother Teresa (looked like she hurt her) and got her between she and her husband. The outraged journalist was told to get a camera out of her expensive purse and start taking photos. Which she did unwillingly, but this woman, was such a force of nature, that there was no arguing with her. They left about as abruptly as they came, and the outraged journalist started complaining about their behavior to Mother Teresa. She would have none of it, and said "the rich need love too."
