Hello all, the ancient saying, "As above, so below" refers to a similarity of love, kindness, and wisdom displayed on Earth as in Heaven. Humanity has embarked upon this journey but the larger heart-felt perspective, the compassion which comes from walking in the other's shoes, is yet to arrive. 

May we sit this evening for the shoes of others. May we find they fit lovingly. May we find our hearts one mile closer to each other. 

Thank you,

Richard

Hello everyone, as we meet people in this life we find they are not all admirable, nor agreeable, and sometimes downright infuriating. This is where Oneness can become a questionable concept. There is a trick to getting past our human psychology at such times.

It can take a while but look for something about them with which you can identify, something which you also own. This can be difficult when dealing with someone with whom we are deeply disgusted. But the truth is this: that which we despise most in others is the very thing which we find most disgusting within ourselves. They may be hard to find but honesty and humility are helpful here.

May we sit this evening for the strength and courage to be honest with ourselves, for the humility to see clearly, and for the love which may reach outward from us when we do.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, today is Valentine's Day in the US. Typically limited to personal romantic entanglements perhaps it should be released into an all-encompassing love for the world at large. The world has it's troubles and is in need of love. Here is a quote from Helen Keller: "The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker."

May we each add our tiny push of love on this Valentine's Day for the entire world. 

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, a theme which we'll be returning to throughout this year is of asking for Divine Light to shine down upon those involved in our political process. Lord knows we could use it. Short and simple, "May Thy will be done" covers more than we can see and opens the door to wisdom and fulfillment of the future. May we be receptive when it calls.

Thank you,

Richard
