For Sunday November 29th, 2020

Hello everyone, when we are caught in the addictive power of anger and frustration peacefulness appears to be weak and ineffectual. Anger and frustration seem to come of their own calling, while peacefulness can require immense work. Anger can be vastly destructive while peacefulness can be a firm foundation.

With the beauty of free will we get to choose. If we are willing to search we can find the roots of our frail humanness, and thereby see the commonality we have with others.

May we sit this evening for that disarming self-honesty which levels us all. May the transparency of our own foibles bring us closer together. May the path to Oneness bring us to laughter and beyond.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello again to all of you, to those who are helpers in this changing world (even with something as simple as an honest smile) this is a time of work. We came here for this. We came to be teachers, healers, whatever is needed, to assist humanity on the path to its own heart. The work is all around us, with everyone we meet. 

May we use this Sunday evening to take the long view. May we understand the power of planting seeds. May our own hearts blossom along the way.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, a normal human response during a disaster is to reach out and help one another. Hurricanes, floods, fires, even a sick neighbor will bring out the helpers which Mr. Roger's mother told him to focus on. But right now, with this virus raging on, many are failing the test of basic benevolence. 

The ease with which people have been persuaded to override their instinctive human compassion and empathy in favor of tightly held beliefs and opinions is staggering. It is a terrible lesson to see how quickly the milk of human kindness can sour in the bowl when fears and angers are promoted.

The process of inviting people out of their heads and into their hearts can be difficult indeed. We who consider ourselves to be helpers may have years of work ahead of us. 

So tonight let us take care of ourselves for it may be a long road. Rest and rejuvenation are essential. May we ask to be filled with what we need. May we take solace in the power of a source greater than ourselves. May we pick up the tools of Love once again with a lighter heart.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all of you, the American election has passed. There has been winning and losing. Now the job of reconnection begins. 

Oneness exists beyond our typical perception while heartfelt reconnection clears our vision.

May we sit this evening to see ourselves clearly, what we hold dear and what we keep distant. May we realize how deeply we can be our own saviors. 

Thank you all,

Richard
