For Sunday August 1st, 2021

Hello again to the future from this day, written July 19th.

 
We have talents we were born with and desires in our hearts. When our talents and desires align our expressions are in the universal language of faith, hope, kindness, and love. This holds true whether we use words, music, movement, artful pictures, or just sitting quietly with a friend. In doing so we emanate the Creative Force.

May we sit on this first day of a new month with a renewed heart. May the beauty within become the beauty without. May all who seek be sated.

Thank you all,

Richard

I'll be away from my computer for a week or so, that's why you'll see a bunch of these today. Space them out as needed please...

Hello and good day to you all, we are told if we want peace we should make peace with others and if we want harmony we should make harmonious experiences in the lives of others. It's good advice.

In order to do so we must recognize and release that which prohibits peace and harmony from occurring within ourselves.

May we sit for personal awareness, to watch our thoughts, recognize discord, see the full effect our discord has on others, and so enriched may we lovingly release them all.

Bless you all,

Richard

A gracious good day to all of you, we are told conducting our lives in harmony with spirituality will bring beauty, joy, and a life worthwhile. Learning to live in that harmony is sometimes challenging.

Beleaguered as we are by outside pressures, inward biases, and conflicting emotions the path of harmony may at times appear only dimly. However, the Light is always in our hearts.

May we sit this evening for the ability to find that Light. May we have the strength to set aside distractions of the mind. May we listen closely to find the truth whose physical residence is in our hearts, within the chest cavity. May we use that truth as our guiding Light.

Bless you all,

Richard

This session is a great reminder that although we can be heavily engrossed in life at times, our issues, etc., that the work we did throughout our life has resulted in a major shift in attitude, values and beliefs, and is strong enough to withstand these storms and keep us moving forward.

Hello to all of you, history shows that as humans we are remarkable at justifying whatever desires and impulses appeal to us, oftentimes with disastrous results. When we give priority to our justifications we lock ourselves into circular thought processes which can be difficult to break.

That is why the teachings of Buddha and others tell us to sit back and watch what our minds are doing. There is always a wise, outwardly loving path available. To get outside of ourselves and search for that path is always righteous.

May we sit this evening for the awareness of our own inner workings. May our biases, angers, grievances, and habitual thought patterns become clear. May we search for the wiser way.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, to paraphrase; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all humans are created equal, endowed with free will, and the ability to be at one with their Creator."

These are big words to live up to as we struggle to love one another, and ourselves.

Along with all the flashy celebrations of this day and evening let us recall this quietly; the phrase 'made in the image of' translates easily into 'capable of being at one with' the Creator.

With Love and Blessings for all,

Richard
