Hi Paul,

Good plan.

Very good plan.

As anything arises, generate a positive emotional response.

Very mindful.

Thank you for that :-)

sometimes when we are in meditation - heck

sometimes just when we listen to the news,

we can perceive the bigger picture.

"The Bigger Picture" - TA DUM!

Like Germaine's idea of a tapestry, we

as small insignificant mortals represent

but threads within this tapestry of

continuing Life.

Rife within this tapestry -

even now going on - such atrocities

NOT even legal, not sacred, nonsensical,

bloodthirsty, dark and hateful.

people are starving, they are suffering,

they are bleeding, they are dying -

brother against brother -

chaos within our world.

Thankyou God for Life that is peace.

Thankyou for the silence, for the breath

For the scent of blossoming flowers.

Thankyou God for clean air.

Thankyou for the food and

will you please feed the others?

Thanx esp for the neato computer

equipment and will you please

upgrade my printer?

;-P

passing thoughts...
