101 God is already Here … (08/06/2011) “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. The Tao is infinite, eternal & always present. The Buddha is in the palm of your hand … In truth, there is no distance between you & God. The distance, indeed all separation, is just a dream.” ~ John Joseph Having Love in your heart opens Heaven’s Gate, … & every Joy-full act of Caring sails you straight on through. “To fall, to merge, to die; such passionate language makes us uncomfortable … We seek comfort in forgetfulness. We shrink from the inevitability of death … We cannot Love. And yet, vivid moments emerge from the forgetfulness when we least expect them … Can you remember?” ~ George Leonard It is Love that re-minds us that we are alive, and to remember that Life, we must have the courage to actively engage another … We must have the humility to remember that Love is everywhere … And we must have the courage to re-member that Love.
102 Love is fearless tenderness … (08/07/2011) “Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world tickle your heart, your raw and beautiful heart. You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to share your heart with others.” ~ Chogyam Trungpa “God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice … You must take it. The only question is how.” ~ Henry Ward Beecher “You live and learn … … Well, at any rate, you live.” ~ Douglas Adams To learn to live, we must learn to Love … To learn to Love, we must choose – especially in those times when we wish instead to retreat within – to Care.
103 LOVE a Giving thing … (08/08/2011) “There are only 4 questions of value in life: What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only Love.” ~ Don Juan “Do you find yourself saying ‘I can’t take it any longer?’ Well, simply stop taking it. Let it go … release it … stop fighting. Behold the Love within your heart … and start giving it to others.” ~ Sri Gawn Tu Fahr “Oz never did give nothin’ to the Tinman that he didn’t already have.” ~ America (“Tin Man”)
104 Happiness is a Doing … (08/09/2011) “Happiness is waiting just around the corner. She is patiently tapping her foot. So now … go to Her.” ~ Ree Ivan “The way to act compassionately is to exchange yourself for the other. When you can put yourself in someone else’s shoes, then you know what is needed, and what would speak to their heart.” ~ Pema Chodron (Happiness must become a verb for Happiness to Be.)
