I've discovered I like the word, "Yes!"

"Yes," to all things wholesome, beautiful, up-lifting, and encouraging.

"Yes," to peacefulness and harmony.

"Yes," to life and living kindly, thoughtfully...where 'thoughtfully' is a fine attitude toward others, not the stress of trying too hard to understand, and not the figuring out of 'how' or worrying about it.

...Thoughtfully and considerately, not only toward others, but also toward oneself.


We only get one chance to live today, and, although there may be a tomorrow, it is best to live today very, very well.

And, if we practice, maybe we will automatically go to the places and people best for us, today...though we may get surprises where and who those may be.


I saw a strange story last night.

Thirteen segments of a talk given by a Dr. Ott on how the world got to issues the world seems to face today.

Recently I have been thinking I ought not to see or hear negativity.

But I found myself hearing about events I had actually lived through, observed, perhaps from afar.

I also remembered adults around me talking about those events, and their possible 'meanings'.


I remembered feeling almost angry at what adults near me called, 'the great terrible THEY'.


Well, last night's film confirmed who the 'THEY' were, and step by step apparent evidence of what 'they' have done...and what 'they' will do, if 'their' plans work out.


And, do you know, I wasn't surprised, or afraid in any way.


I recognized the things I had been hearing, and observing all my life.

And, I considered that they are true.

And, the thought did not frighten me because I feel that the peace and harmony of the universe, the spark within each of us, is more powerful than all 'their' machinations.


And, this morning I awakened with a new freshness and clarity.


All those voices from long ago, were satisfied.

All those thoughts they expressed, that I had covered in order to 'fit in' with my contemporaries...were free.

...A great stress lifted...one I hadn't known I was carrying.


I have a feeling that many of my confusions and concerns and even physical tensions are now gone.

I mean, how could a person find a 'still point' packing around questions like that?



I feel pretty good as I now put myself to bed.

Good night, sleep well, everyone.
