Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 "I am not sure we have met Kheyala. Nice to meet you. Thank you very much. Blessings ~ Linda Rae" Dear Linda, and also everyone else who has contributed to this list in the last 7 days.... It is wonderful to meet you. My name is Kheyala. I am very new to this computer life and to being on an interactive mailing list. So I don't know how to make my posts fancy, and have no idea how I got such a neat font to happen right now or how to eliminate that black line to the left...do you see it too? But what I am not so new at is resting in the deep joy and exquisite relief of simply being Who I Am. The thing that is most astounding now is to discover that there are countless (?) others "out there," not just a chosen few from India or something, that also know this infinite ................ that includes every expression. It has been so amazing to discover this (several times daily) reading your letters, and I just wanted to say thank you. I thank my Self, in all Its forms. It has been such a blessing being on this list. Or should I say LIST? Because THIS is the Blessing of blessings. I have (whoa, I just lost my cool font)....I have so much love in my heart for That, which includes, of course, anyone who happens to be reading this in This precious Moment. Thank you. Love, Kheyala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 >> What has been working for me has been thanking God for everything. Especially the things I perceive are bad. As the wall begins to want to surface, I begin saying thank-you right away. This works. << Dear Paul ~ well, at first I thought I had mistakenly attributed the posts I was responding to in my last post. Then I realized I had not. Thanksgiving does work. My heart aches each time I realize how many of us there are. Shanti ~ Linda ...P.S. I am sharing a song I wrote about twenty years ago, in the very darkest time of seeing the shadow. I will say, I have always believed my songs are gifts; they seem to pour through me, telling me things I need to hear, and so often, I don't really "hear" or "get" their full meaning(s) until years later. BeGentle With Yourself 1. We’ve come a long, long way in a very short time, oh, see how beautiful we are. Wrap the past in moonbeams, release your fear of the night, each one of us is a shining star. Chorus Be gentle with yourself, there’s a place where it’s alright to be who you are. Be gentle with yourself, embrace what’s inside, you’ve been looking for a treasure, something you can’t weigh or measure, looking and looking, but you don’t have to look so hard. 2. We’ve seen so much of the good and the bad, we just have to cry sometimes. But even so, we realize just how much we have, and the riches we carry through our lives. Chorus Be gentle with yourself, there’s a place where it’s alright to be who you are. Be gentle with yourself, embrace what’s inside, you’ve been looking for a treasure, something you can’t weigh or measure, looking and looking, but you don’t have to look so hard. 3. We get a little tired on our way. Sometimes we think we just can’t go on. But just about the time we think we’ve lost our way, we hear another traveler singing this song. Chorus Be gentle with yourself, there’s a place where it’s alright to be who you are. Be gentle with yourself, embrace what’s inside, you’ve been looking for a treasure, something you can’t weigh or measure, looking and looking, but you don’t have to look so hard. © Linda Talbott 1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Linda/Paul Thanx - really appreciate your song of thanksgiving - about to explore a concept of "dasein" - german for to *be*. to just *be*. Like a lily of the field, to just exist. Because we were born unwittingly and we do not have to compete or be involved in ego in order to feel validated. Heck with that crap! LOL! :-)) You know - western mind has always imposed the competition ethic on people, and now that it is population explosion time - uh oh! look out! Thankyou God for being the safety net always when i refuse to participate in competition and allow myself to just *be*, in all the glory and goodness that you have created me as. Amen. all my best, valerie nierika (AT) aol (DOT) com wrote: Paul wrote: >> What has been working for me has been thanking God for everything. Especially the things I perceive are bad.
