Perhaps partly as its shed its covering of leaves and is standing naked and open to the elements. Also it away from the other trees and bushes. It is alone and yet at the same time it is set in peaceful harmony where it is and a part of everything. The whole universe wouldnt be the same without it. Just as it would be less complete without you. Know that you are loved.
BUSTER IS LOOKING AT YOU!
A great new day today.
Wisdom arises through effort, wisdom disappears through lack of effort; knowing this twofold path of growth and decline, one should arrange oneself such that wisdom increase.
The Buddha
It is easy to see the fault of others, hard to see ones own. One sifts the faults of others like chaff, but covers up one`s own, as a crafty cheater covers up a losing throw.
The Buddha
Just as rust eats away the iron from which it is produced, so do their own deeds lead the overindulgent into a miserable state.
The Buddha
FINDING JESUS
We must long for what we have lost and what we are looking for, lift up the longing of your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ, son of blessed Mary, even though you are blind and can see nothing of his divinity. Tell Him that He is the one you have lost, He whom you desire nothing but Him-no other joy, no other happiness in heaven or earth but him alone.
I seek to gladly accept injustice, cruelty and contempt from any person with patience, without being ruffled and without murmuring, believing with humility and charity that all comes to us from God. Think of the suffering of our Blessed Lord, which we would share out of our love for him.
Above all the graces and gifts of the Holy Spirit which Christ grants to His friends, is the grace of overcoming oneself, and accepting willing, out of love for Christ, all suffering, injury, discomfort, and contempt; for in all other gifts of God we cannot glory, seeing they proceed not from ourselves but from Bod, according to the words of the Apostle, "What hast thou that thou hast not received from God? and if thou hast received it why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it? But in the cross of tribulation and affliction we may glory, because, as the Apostle says again , "I will not glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Amen.
I shall pop off now to look up www.cacradicalgrace.org and www.shalem.org see what they are about and if they are still about.
Have a blessed day and pass it on.
Your Brother of Buddha in Christ, Peter G Kimble
