Hello again to all, in trying times it is well to look for strength and courage. Joseph Campbell tells us, "Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called 'the love of your fate.' Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment – not discouragement – you will find the strength is there."
The key point is not the stern stoicism of putting your head down and grinding through worldly chaos with bitterly gritted teeth – but of raising your head and lovingly taking on the challenge as your own – that's when you may be open to receiving strength and guidance.
May we sit this evening to face whatever travails may come with an open heart. May we lead ourselves with the love we find. May we lovingly enjoin with humanity's transition.
Bless you all,
Richard
