Through looking out for substantial contributions demanded by the daily needs presented to me with an open mind and heart, and responding and sharing accordingly.
I am part of the great fullness of life because I am here. Now. If I am not here something is missing from the great fullness of life. If I am fully here, all is well, complete, as it should be.
‘Now is the acceptable time, now is the time of salvation.’ when I have reached my final now moment I will be absorbed into the total fullness of life.
Live in harmony with nature; obey the dharma that is revealed to me; practice gratitude; embrace the yin/yang in all of life and don't resist what comes but flow with it ("To yield is to conquer"); follow my social roles and duties with zeal; imitate God in the way I treat others, remembering that LOVE is my true nature; follow my deepest desires; study and learn from science; study UFOs and aliens; practice being playful, creative, and theatrical, getting in touch with my inner child; run like ...
Live in harmony with nature; obey the dharma that is revealed to me; practice gratitude; embrace the yin/yang in all of life and don’t resist what comes but flow with it (“To yield is to conquer”); follow my social roles and duties with zeal; imitate God in the way I treat others, remembering that LOVE is my true nature; follow my deepest desires; study and learn from science; study UFOs and aliens; practice being playful, creative, and theatrical, getting in touch with my inner child; run like crazy, and treat it like a spiritual practice; watch popular culture films and learn all I can from them; and study and engage in philosophy.
be present for the ups and downs, the mistakes the hopes and losses. Be present for all the gifts they bring and bring kindness to the journey.
By attempting to become the woman God created me to be.
By letting go of empty resentment, empty in the sense of being worthless to hold onto.
By allowing others to live how they are without forcing my standards upon anyone.
Leading by example and removing my own shortcomings bit by bit.
I can be myself without pretensions. I can be generous in my love, gratitude praise and also with the gifts I have been blessed with. I can share my faith with readiness..
How can I contribute to the “great fullness” of life?
By dispelling the "great fear-ness" which is taking over Western Society.
Again this is the time of year when some attention is payed to Joshua Emanuel the Christ and this is a site basted on the works of Br David a folower of J.EtC. so it should come as no surprise that Matt 17:20 and the values behind it's words ought to be the prime pointer to entering the great "fullness" of life.

20 Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief; for truly I say to you, If there is faith in you even as a grain of mustard, you will say to this mountain, move away from here, and it will move away; and nothing would prevail over you.
If not that passage then surely ..
Matt: 6: 33-34
33: But seek first the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness and all of these things shall be added to you’
34: Therefore do not worry for tomorrow; for tomorrow will look after itesl. Sufficient for each day is its troubles.
And paying respect to Br David here by connecting the above with a quote from “Faith beyond Belief”..
“Faith means trust – ultimately in life. When we trust in life, we trust the source of life. ” And he quoted Suzuki Roshi “the opposite of faith is fear.”
Create something. An uplifting conversation, a simple meal, an enlivening walk, a laugh, a friendly connection with a street person …
Just BE (capital letters intended)? ????
Do not detract from it’s beauty. Highlight what is good.
The sun is shinning, birds are singing
by each day being the best I can be as an individual and helping collectively everyone else do the same. we can then join up and create “great fulness” for everyone.
Doing my best to stay present and awake. To take care of my wellbeing and to share quality time with friends, family, and community. To be reminded that we all go through things and to give when I can. Also to be receptive and receiving, giving another the opportunity to share their love and gifts. The mystery of giving goes both ways in the exchange. That is where I see the great fullness of life.
I can contribute to the great fullness of life by determination to live love and compassion each moment. Spread joyful love for the gift of life.
By living in the moment!
By living my own life fully, each and every day.
That said, my mind and heart turns to the victims of the tragic school shooting in Florida this past week and their many grieving family members and friends. The “great fullness” of their lives has been crushed out forever. It seems to me that every time mankind turns on itself, from wars to rage, it chips away at the fullness of our own collective humanity.
I don’t think the great fullness of their lives has been crushed out for ever. It has taken on a new dimension that we cannot understand yet but will someday. Meanwhile we can only stand with the grieving families and grieve with them. And have faith to know that the fullness of life has in no way be diminished.
An article by Brother David can be found on gratefulness. org/resources/a-new-reason-for-gratefulness that explains what I am trying to say much better than I can.
Well, I’ve been writing…for about a year, “serious” stuff: using the gift I have been given to express myself. I enjoy it; feel I am finally doing my “life’s work.”
A friend said, “You’re a writer…write!!”
Good on you. It’s hard work!
