Sometimes we cast aside that which is most precious to us.

Love has no form.
When you are present in this moment, you break the continuity of your
story, of past and future. Then true intelligence arises, and also love.
The only way love can come into your life is not through form, but
through that inner spaciousness that is Presence. Love has no form.
-- Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Amidst the World

times of advancement are preceded by times of disorder.
?Just as the tumultuous chaos of a thunderstorm brings a nurturing rain that allows life to flourish,
so too in human affairs times of advancement are preceded by times of disorder.
Success comes to those who can weather the storm.?
-- I Ching No. 3

Yet when do we hurry to be happy or rush towards an experience of calm and comfort?
It is strange how people attribute levels of urgency to the various tasks and activities that they have taken on. We may see it as crucial that we get to work on time. Or essential that we don't miss the start of a concert or a play. We set ourselves deadlines by which, we feel, we really must have accomplished something. We panic when we feel we are late and are pleased when we meet our targets.
Not to utter words, but to live by them
The one thing for such a person to do is to pray regularly, especially
at the actual time of temptation, and to throw the responsibility for
success upon God. He must carry on in this way, no matter how many
times he may fail; and, if he continues to pray, and especially if he
prays in the scientific way, he will, as a matter of fact, very soon find
that the power of evil has been broken, and that he is free from that
particular sin. To pray scientifically is to keep affirming that God is
helping him, that the temptation has no power against him, and
constantly to claim that his own real nature is spiritual and perfect.
-- Emmet Fox, Sermon On The Mount
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest
appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Have an awesome day, and

POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE:
Living on Earth is expensive,
but it does include a free trip
around the sun every year.
How long a minute is
depends on what side of the
bathroom door you're on.
Birthdays are good for you;
the more you have,
the longer you live.
Happiness comes through doors you
didn't even know you left open.
Ever notice that the people who are late
are often much jollier
than the people who have to wait for them?
Most of us go to our grave
with our music still inside of us.
If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day,
how come nothing is free yet?
You may be only one person in the world,
but you may also be the world to one person.
Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.
Don't cry because it's over;
smile because it happened.
We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
and all are different colors....but
they all exist very nicely in the same box.
A truly happy person is one who
can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Have an awesome day, and
know that someone
who thinks you're great
has thought about you today!
"And that person was me.".....

Gerhard Viewpoint
“The world situation that life is presenting us with in the 21st century is a natural outcome of the state of consciousness that has created it.
“People having an internal system for understanding life that is based on limited thought processes and giving a view of themselves as separate and insecure individuals, naturally creates a world full of conflict and fear. “But consider that this may also be part of a perfect unfolding! “This may be how life works, that each stage of consciousness along the way in our development brings with it its own crisis.
“Each crisis forces individuals to question their current reality system, and to try to find a new stability by stretching into new versions of themselves with fuller capabilities and by outgrowing any old habits that no longer support them.
“Life creates situations that cannot be solved at their own level because the ways of seeing and knowing that have brought us to this point aren’t working anymore.
Our old paradigms and models are failing us and we are forced to let go of our old ways of constructing reality and look again to see what we have missed.”
