I think Ose has accurately stated it, “Who doesn’t?” Each and every person I encounter or think of this day deserves my thanks for having encountered me and I them. May we be blessed with a consciousness of the gift we have exchanged for those moments!

My love of reading.

By listening twice as much as speaking. After all, I have two ears and only one mouth!

Abraham Heschel said that “radical amazement” is the proper response to our experience of the divine. My moment right now is filled with the divine. I shall try and respond to my eternal moments with radical amazement.

Always I Begin Again……..to live…….to die…..to breathe….remember……let go….be thankful……fill….empty…..again…..again….a…..gain……

I am aware of “the butterfly effect” and that what I do has an impact on the world. Do I really believe it? Does it matter? I do what I do because I am attempting to live at one with God. If it has an impact on the world, fine and good. Impacting the world writ large is not my goal. I can barely even comprehend the world let alone the universe.
I can commit to the knowledge that what I do can have an impact beyond what I know or intend.

Like Kevin says, too many to mention.
I think I would like to be that person who unexpectedly touches the life of each person I come in contact or even think of.

I have to cultivate playfulness. Much as I appreciate and enjoy the daily moments, playfulness does not come naturally to me. But watching squirrels chase each other or kittens playing always remind me of the fun of playfulness.

I am with Kevin and Pilgrim on this: Fred Rogers. I watched him with my children and found myself delighted. He exemplified the Christ in the everyday.

I am not sure I would use or define the word “miraculous”. I think my finite mind is too small or limited to fully comprehend. Perhaps all of life is miracle.

Passionate evokes a sense of excitement, enthusiasm, high energy, in my mind.
I guess I am not a passionate person. I am quiet in energy, action. There are things of life I value deeply but nothing I can say I am passionate about.

Best of success in your endeavors. Blessings of perseverance, wisdom and health be yours.

I hope you are able to control the diabetes, Javier. I know it can be a detriment to health if uncontrolled. Blessings of wisdom, perseverance and guidance as you navigate life with diabetes.

That is a wonderful gift your teacher gave you, Nancy. A person can go anywhere, learn anything if they can read!

Wow, Javier, that is sad! I hope you are drawing NOW, which is all we have anyway.

I hope you were successful, GT!

Jessie, living can be so difficult! You have experienced an overload of loss in a relatively short period of time. Be gentle with yourself. It will help you be gentle with gma. It is okay to grieve the losses. You won’t stay in grief. It passes. Eventually. Until then, breathe, continue to practice gratitude for what you can and know you are not forgotten or alone. Blessings of peace be yours, Jessie.

What a considerate thing to say, Amor fati! I thank and bless you.????

Antoinette, it is with delight I read the excerpt from A Course in Miracles. I went thru it years ago and appreciated it then. Perhaps it is time to reread it. I am glad you posted it today! Thank you!

When I hear people talk about their “passion” I wonder if I am missing something, Joanne, as if I am deficient but now I am beginning to accept it as a grace gentle, mild and steady…..thank you for your comment.
