Hello everyone, in this time of social and political discord it is well to maintain a greater perspective. All trees are different yet they work together to feed and protect each other, because nature is based on cooperation.

The essentials of life are the same all over; food, shelter, love, respect. To withhold these is to deny a natural order. 

May we sit this evening for the inner Light which illuminates our steps. May we have the courage to follow. May our choices be our blessings to the world.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello all, the term 'coddiwomple' means to travel purposely toward an unknown destination, to embark on a journey without being sure of its end. We are told our spiritual journey is toward Oneness. But, not having been there we travel on faith. The future holds whatever it may hold and on we go.

May we sit this Sunday for the willingness to travel when our steps are unclear. May we be guided from our hearts, no matter how little we can see. May little beauties give us strength to move on to the greater Beauty beyond.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello everyone, when there is dissension within a family group it's the overall greater family love which keeps the difficulties from going a step too far, from breaking the bonds of the family. In 1861 the difficulties overwhelmed the love of family, and of country. The bonds were broken and war occurred.

What bonds need nurturing today?

May we sit for bonding that may occur when people are open. May we sit for bonding that can still be made with those who are un-ready to listen. May we strengthen the bonds we already have.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all, those whose desire is to love outwardly may well find the turmoil of the outward world distressing. Those who cling to external power as a way of fulfilling selfish desires have yet to learn a simple truth – the fruits of the spirit never spoil because love is the only true power.

Loving kindness, compassion, and harmlessness will secure the future for us all.

May we sit this evening for the personal strength and courage to be good shepherds during this spiritual transition.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, to purposely choose someone who has done you harm, who has wronged you in some manner, and then decide to love them anyway, is to take a step toward Unconditional Love.

You cannot know the beauty that comes from such a decision without experiencing it first hand. To deeply, honestly, actively be loving to them is to bring a bit of God to Earth.

May we sit for the forgiveness which allows such love. May we forgive ourselves for any time we may have missed the mark in the past. May we love each other as ourselves.

Thank you all,

Richard
