For Sunday, February 26th, 2012

Hello all, we are told the world is most changed by the tiniest of things, and that too much too soon can burn. So, everyone has opportunities to treat others kindly, with patience, love, hope, and faith, during the course of each day. In this way the Light of the Divine is spread gently upon the earth in a simple and easy manner.

May we sit this Sunday for the knowing, the care, the outward-loving desire to be a messenger, in even the tiniest of ways so easily overlooked - with a nod, a smile, a thank you - each absolutely essential.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, watching a one-year-old explore her world is an education. In childhood we have wonder, in adulthood we have opinions. As children we are curious, as grown-ups we are biased. In our early years we leap in for the experience, later on we know better. In youth we make mistakes, with age we gain wisdom.

May we sit this Sunday to reconnect with the openness and wonder we had as children, while maintaining the balance of such wisdom and knowledge as we may have already collected.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, the only true power in the universe is Love. As darkness is not a thing of itself but merely a result of the absence of physical light, so to all earthly power whether political, financial, or physical, is naught but shadows, the result of distance from Original Light. It is within our hearts that we may find access to this power, and answers to the world's problems.

May our searching lead us not to mental thoughts nor to the give and flow of passing emotion, but to deep within where Divine Creation awaits. May we sit this Sunday for that depth, for that honesty, and for the courage which is required to reach our "Heart of Hearts".

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, humanity's attachment to anger and violence is well pointed out by the deaths which resulted recently from the passions of a soccer match. As we lean toward our more spiritual natures, as we search for alternatives to war in settling national disputes, we must know that it all starts within.

As mind is the builder of attitude and direction, we use it to feed either our selfish desires or the higher callings. We get to choose, moment by moment, which step we will take on our path of learning. Will this next step lean slightly toward our smaller selves, or even just a touch toward our greater?

This Sunday may we sit for that greater, inner, quieter guidance. May we sit for the highest good for all, and for our own next step.

Thank you,

Richard
