Love thy neighbor as thyself. And thyself as thy neighbor.
         227/2021 - 1 year later I rewrote some entries to document changes. I would like to think that there is less                             emotional regurgitating of doctrine and  a more authentic communication..

I feel instead of creating stories to tell others that I begin the practice  only having stories for God's ears. This is not a practice of avoidance. Nor is it an act of selfishness but of service. I see it as  a way forward in my life.  I choose to live my life as  a practice of God first. Doing so answers the question, "With what will I fill my heart.*
        27/2021 My story's define me and bind me. For that security I surrender my freedom. BAD DEAL!! As for                              story's for Gods ears? Me bitching or blaming God for my mess will not change anything. But me                               talking with, surrendering to open doors  to a more compassionate, kinder world. I choose to live my l                        life aligning my will with HIs. Doing so answers the question, "With what will I fill my heart.*

The beach at sunrise is my temple I go to It is  where I  hear His words which help me understand the path he wants me to navigate so I can do his work.
        27/2021 The beach at sunrise is my temple.  It is  where I find peace.  Perhaps then to see myself for what I am and disentangle myself from the mess I created?

The beach is where I go to snuggle with Him, know his strength, and feel his comfort of His presence.. It is in his strength that I lean on to face my problems. In the comfort of His presence I find guidance.

It is a practice where I stop talking about him but with him and  learning to listen
            27/2021 Talking about is  dualistic and maintains that duality. With and listening reduces  the distance of the separation..

It is a practice where I put down my  "not now's" .And replace it with the practice of "why not", so I can see what You are showing me. And recognize it with thanks. Perchance that i might be shown more. Saying I believe by itself  is meaningless and requires the actions which are the proof of my faith.

A Christmas message 2021

On Veteran's day  I felt the need to stop in a small boutique store.  While there a man  who works for Waste management entered. He  had just emptying the dumpsters outside. I said unto him, "It is veteran's day let me buy you a coffee?" "I can not take it. He replied. "For I am not a veteran." "But you know a veteran ,or have family that are Veterans?" "Yes my brother is a veteran." he replied. " So accept it  in your brothers name," And turn to pay for the man's coffee and the chocolate chip pumpkin bread. That evening the man from waste management was at his brothers house and told a story of the kind stranger. Listening was, Eve, his brother's youngest step daughter,  A seed was being planted The following was the original ending. I wanted  something softer, where the message was  presented within the story  more like a parable.   "I give it to you in your brother's name. So you know of the   joy of  a
