For Sunday November 16th, 2025

Hello again, dear loving souls. A divine spark remains within us always. Judy, from our list, is a dear friend of 50+ years. She had a brain bleed incident and fell down a flight of stairs a few years ago. Before that she would run up and down those very same stairs for exercise. She now sits in a wheelchair, leaned over, sleeping.

When gently woken and spoken to, she answers with 2-3 words at best. But that spark, which I have loved for over half a century, is still there. Her brain doesn't work well, but the spark comes through in her inflections. It's pure beauty to behold.

A common comment of hers was, "If I ever get put into a nursing home, I'm just going to love everyone!" I believe she is, as she is beloved by all there. 

The truth is – love has no limits on its expression.

May we sit tomorrow evening in gratitude for that Divine spark, always with us, always shining through in some way.

 
Thank you all,

Richard

Hello beautiful people. I've shared this image before. It still rings true. What we are becomes completely undone in becoming what we are to be.

Growth often involves destruction of what was. We are not to destroy ourselves in a self-centered attempt to create growth, but rather accept growth when it comes, and gracefully release what we were when appropriate.

 
May we sit this evening in awareness of the beauty, and the difficulty, of change. May we be gentle with ourselves as we search forward. May we hear the call of Divine will.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello to all who face the light. I've mentioned this before but it feels worth stating again. After Anwar Sadat's NDE, he began instituting changes in Egyptian society. The education of women was only a small part of what proved to be intolerable to fundamentalists at the time. He was assassinated for it.

We face similar attitudes today. No matter how nice it sounds to say all people should be treated fairly, the application of it irritates those who conjure up racial, financial, and legal justifications for not doing so.

Our job, those of us who look toward a more loving future, is to grasp how hard it is for those who are stuck in old paradigms to see the world anew. For them to change their attitudes is a very long journey.

Tonight may we sit being aware of what we face. May we see the recalcitrant ones lovingly, as children do who help other children to complete a task. We're all in this together, and we all need to help one another through it.

Blessings on us all,

Richard
