Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 There is only one life, one love, one infinite presence of the beloved taking form as all creation. And I see it and recognize it as That, all the time. Because I am one with this life and love and presence, I recognize it everywhere, and It recognizes Itself in me. All that I am is spirit in form...how else could Spirit have the experiences of joy and beauty and love but through me and through other people? Today I am grateful for the gifts of profound friendship. I realize that my friends are the Beloved in form, are god itself showing up as all those on my path, and as all those who are not. I speak freely from the heart and give thanks for the many blessings in the form of beautiful, creative people that fill my life and my days. It is so very good...and I am ever grateful for this blessing. And so it is. _____ A Season for Nonviolence: A Season for Peace 64 Days, 64 Ways to a more peaceful world T O D A Y ' S P R A C T I C E : Feb. 23 - FRIENDLINESS Will said that strangers were just friends he hadn't met yet.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 ine, I am in your situation exactly. I had to move like across the country right after having my stroke this summer so that I could be near my mom who could drive me. I am a 45 in my mind but you would not believe the effort it takes me to do an email. But, there is a lady here who has little kids and I found him outside wandering today in his snowboots and a pair of underwear. He was less than 2. Tomorrow, I am going to go over there and offer to help[her. I took him home and no one was there but a baby. I waited with them and pretty soon the mom came in. She was doing laundry and had no one to help her. It is sad really. But that is a possible friend for me. Another one is a girl across the way. She stands outside to smoke. I talk to her often while she is there. There are so many ways that I am trying to find friends. This week, I am going to church. I can't drive, but, one church here has a bus (free), and the other has people in your neighborhood that give you a ride. I think of more things, I will write them down for you, ok? I am sorry you are not having a good time right now, but, just a few days ago you wrote in about how good you were doing, so it will get better, I pray. ((((((((((((HUGS))))))))) Shari PS. Just wanted to let you know that spellcheck fund 28 misspelled words!!! It will improve!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Nice post, Shari. I think it's a perfect illustration of the admonition that if you want to be loved, BE LOVE.
