Dear Genoveva Dimcheva, please know that you are deserving of love as we all are. I see you and recognize your pain. Look within yourself and find that love that you have to share with others. In that, you will find connection to all beings in some way and you will find peace. Know that we are all human and perhaps may not live up to your expectations but in that, know that you can find compassion for them and for yourself. You are a beautiful soul here for a purpose. I wish you peace and lovingkindness. Namaste~🙏🏼
For me, this is another form of mindfulness. Being awake to what is happening in this moment is mindfulness and vigilance both. This is what I strive for and am lacking so many times in life. So being vigilance, being mindful, meditating on the NOW in this moment is key to living in a happy existence. Even pain and suffering in the moment but also knowing that this will change as well as nothing ever remains the same. We must suffer to also learn what happiness is.
I just wanted to say I enjoyed the story of the masons and all the comments here resonate with myself. I have nothing really to add to these wonderful people's reflections other than I agree with each one. Thank you!
This is a beautiful post on mindfulness and meditation. To observe the thoughts and letting them continue on there way so we can be mindful in this moment, not being attached to those thoughts.
Thank you, Carrie, for this post and suggestion. Yes, I try to send Metta as often as I can and I love the idea of reaching out to someone if you are thinking of them with little notes. ~Bless
Very thoughtful beautiful post, Japdish P Dave. We do what we can in sending our vibrations of higher frequency of love and compassion. Sending love and light to both Ukraine and to Russia that this may end soon and healing begins. ~Namaste
I love this beautiful poem and affirmation! Sending love out into the world that is chaotic, may all have love and peace and compassion in their hearts 🙠~Namaste
Dear Bob, this is it exactly! Where has the consideration and compassion for our common humanness gone? I think you are right in that those who are here on this site have a deeper understanding or wish to understand more and connect more to those around us. We all need to be that "light" and example to plant seeds of love and compassion in the hearts of our fellow caretakers of this beautiful earth. Blessings~ Namaste~
Dear Jagdish, You and the above poster are very wise and I appreciate both of your comments and reflections. We must all be responsible for ourselves but also for alleviating others’ suffering in any way we can. Things are getting better with Covid so I am grateful and people can soon once again, connect with humanity in ways we are meant to. Meaningful and spiritually connected because that is what our nature needs. Be well, dear friend! Namaste 🕉ï¸
Kristin Pedemonti, I respect this post tremendously and my heart goes out to you in your strength to share. You have truly grown from that experience and are such an inspiration. I am grateful for you sharing and for all these responses posted here, thank you!
Beautiful post, Jagdish P Dave! I love how you are learning and teaching your grandson at the same time. We should all be learning from each other and teaching at the same time.
So very interesting about choiceless living perspective. Life, just IS, and we are the observers and can find peace in each moment if we do not strive to always be changing things around us. Things will change as they always do on their own.
