Look, look with the mind between outside and in.

Having looked between outside and in,

You'll see that, like the sun rising in the sky,

Marks of dualistic experience unravel in their own ground. 

"They are all links to my presence"

Above religion, is God, Allah, Krishna,‎

They are all links to the divine

To connection to what is greater and

What we can not know

They all point us to

"I in you"

"And you in me"

They are links to  presence

Being prescent

Being love

Opening to a love of thy neighbor

love of thyself‎

Self‎ ever in baptism to the sunrise of each day

"They are all links to my presence "‎

"Rest in the stillness of my prescense while I prepare you for this day. Let the radiance of my glory shine upon you...be still and know that I am god' is the prayer today of silence:) 

'if the intellect inclines to God it treats the body as its servant and provides it with no more than it needs to sustain life. But if it inclines to the flesh it becomes the servant of the passions and is always thinking about how to fulfill it's desires

Change is in the air and yet it feels more like home- silly the cliche, home is where the heart is and now the heart remains in place while the prayer cushion moves to another window another place, but hasn't it been here all along...

It resides is me. 

Grateful for this say as I evolke the sacred name of Jesus in my heart, in my mind. Let the winds of time sweep in and whisk me along....

Amen

. Good friday- is it good because. Jesus showed is the ultimate sacrifice, to let thy will be done.... to shine good on the world .... to love no matter the personal gain or loss.... let it be done for me, let me be such a maid servant- amen -k

my son went hunting-

Well I have no one that needs my argument- it's also a time to see why inside I hold any position at all, cause I'm human and I can have one, or should it be that's his journey and something in that experience has meaning more than my judgement...

"For me, I see myself reflecting on my faith, strength for all I have done and all I have to do, grateful and yearning for the pockets of sunrise, I reflect on making snow angles in the sand and rolling in the grass and swimming in the ocean, being alive in life and being loved as deeply as that which I have to offer...amen -k

I like what bill barrows sent today- "The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you." Exodus 12:13... in a gospel sense it speaks of living in the house of God insides onself as Christ's heart is also Christ's blood, and therefore living with the blood of christ is a house that will be passed over, or will be saved...

Sun washes over the tops of the trees and I feel alive in the cool wind. Tying on my sneakers reminds me of the work I have in this world. Untying my heart in morning praise and song reminds me that I am larger than the doing and love is the highest offer I can share today. And feel closest to who I am as one. -kmg

he Word Most Precious
By Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
(1907 - 1972)
English version by Rabbi Zalman M. Schachter-Shalomi

Each single moment greets my life,
A message clear from timelessness.
All names and words recall to me
The word most precious: God!

Pebbles twinkle up like stars,
Silent raindrops echo true,
What all creation echoes too,
My Father, Teacher, word from You.

My All, Your Name is my safe refuge.
Without Your nearness I am naught,
So lonely, saddening, is that thought.

All I possess, is just this word --
If forgetfulness would snatch a name from me
Let it be mine not Thine,
So screams in dread that heart of mine.

With every word I nickname You,
I call you 'Woods' and 'Night' and 'Ah' and 'Yes,'
With all my instants weaving sacred time
A bit of ever-always is my gift to You.

Would that for Eternity
I could celebrate a holiday for You.
Not just a day -- a lifetime. Please!
How insignificant my thrift and gift

Of offerings and adoration.
What can my efforts do for You
But this: to wander everywhere and bear
a living witness that shows I care.

Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, has written that the basic theme of Pesakh is that it "enables us to undergo a personal exodus from Egypt by transcending our individual limits." 

By eating the matzah, he says, we internalize -- quite literally -- this experience. Matzah is the "bread of affliction," the bread of the poor, of people humble and without arrogance. 

By contrast, Schneerson adds, leavening "becomes bloated as it rises, symbolizes self-inflated egotism and pride." As such, one might say the khametz (wheat, barley, rye, spelt, and oats -- expand when contact water) is a physical embodiment of the inclination to evil (yetzer ha-rah).

Sending my blessings in the smile and good thoughts I hold here in prayer as I pick up the phone to share such.

Rains washes the city- baths her and waters the earth to bring the gift of spring

And the gifts of change, oh how I have tried to direct things and always there is another plan...and can I not say I am grateful for it as well.

The storyline is large and so is my heart in accepting what is and what will be and not resist but follow for I know ti am but a leaf in the forest of life and can not know the whole story of the forest, but I can hear in the distance the singing of the wind.

Amen

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any--lifted from the no
of all nothing--human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
