I am cleaning my desk, a forever task, but always done just when it most needs cleaning up.
Today I ran across some quotes of mine; never before made public, previously kept only on the scrap of paper used to capture a moment of illumination, imagined illumination.
Here are the snippets:
You are a part of God
and without you,
the Universe would not be whole.

Communication is one of the most difficult things humans do, and it’s often done exceedingly poorly.

There is no perfection in human contact. It is always a series of explorations;
if this isn’t your idea of fun, then you’ll be stuck wanting perfection.
(date unknown)
We are all learning to be more loving, compassionate and graceful humans. In this life or some next.

As in human geography and trade, so too in human nutrition/food intake:
Convenience and cost trump almost all other considerations, with the exception of taste. Taste, dictated or hopefully, not, trumps most all most of the time.

Look for our common Human connections. Look for the nod of recognition.

We’ve got to make taking care of ourselves, our beings, our bodies, easier. Convenient, cheap, everywhere we can have, can have the food which takes care of our beings, our bodies, our Selves. As we have it now with food which creates our pain, our disability, our diseases. It has GOT to be easier. It can happen in your lifetime. It must happen in your lifetime.

I do believe that people can be attracted to the negative; who in fact relish, even find highly sexual, evil doers.

Your pain means that you are not getting something. Either literally such as adequate sleep, or at least adequate nutrition; or emotionally/abstractly you’re not getting something you need.
Thus its so very very easy to feel ourselves lacking/not enough/not good enough, always. Ahhh, but of course. We lack in our basic body needs….then why oh why wouldn’t we also lack in the things which help our mind stay whole, filled, not always half. We lack in seeing our whole beauty.

My prayer to Amma Ji right before being hugged by this Divine Woman: Let me come to you with Laughter.
