Morning Zen

Faith. Coming to know the divine. Letting go of the self and trust completely in the divine. Give up control or the illusion of control and allow the spirit to come in and direct and guide our lives. Faith does not just spring forth. It is a seed. It is nurtured and watered and tended too with loving care. The Miracle-Gro of selfless acts and helping others allows the seed to spring from once fallow grounds. The warmth and care of love allow it to bloom and bear fruit. Love of self, love of god, love then of others.

Coffee Musings

There is a time in life devoted to the moment, devoted to the self, in that momnet of being totally focused upon that singularity be it the extraction of espresso, burning incense, a mantra, praising another, turning glass; the world melts away the self desolves. Why at that moment can't we hold on a little longer? Wondering how knowledge of the self and taking care of the self, and living for the self translates. Thinking about living for the self, knowing the great benfits of helping others we act in full accordance with principals of alturistic love. Needing to help and knowing the benfits to ourselves. We do not help to elivate ourself or out of obligation but as to help.

Movie Quote Friday

Wow, it is Friday once again.
I am not sure how I can get more folks involved in guessing. I figured the whole world wide web would be here waiting wanting to get free glass art.

Morning Zen

It is interesting. This is not a fully evolved thought yet but. The things we do to protect ourselves can in the end being the things that hurt us more. An example, I do not want a dog. I have had a dog. I do not need a dog. I am closed off to any desire for having a dog. It is a form of protection as every dog I have had has gone away. Great joy and care and love come from having a dog. Great pain and suffering come when they go away. I would rather give up the great joy to avoid the great pain today. But then that thought of how cool would a nice dog in the back yard would be comes up, it is fleeting because the reality and the impractically of having a dog far outweighs the benefits.
