Create A Rewarding Life. FAITH KNOWS!
I could not just retreat to my awesome Buddhist Chant Relaxation vid without dropping a few words here. It's been an extra long weekend, all that I really know, is that I would love to be rich, and just be able to do whatever I wanted all the time. I would be sprawled across a gorgeous beach in Maui or Hawaii right now, writing this, ahhh to truly live the dream. At this moment I am trying to decide whether or or not to cook some Ramen noodles before I retreat to go to bed. I always am troubled by Sunday's, you know that they are the end of the weekend and they seem to blur by so fast. God, to never have to Suffer that Sunday night feeling again, to have everyday be as ripe and full of possibility as a gorgeous, fresh coffee, and fresh cut lawn fragrance wafting through the air. Saturday is the best day, second only to Friday night. The beginning of fun. My thing is that I have to learn to embrace the Sundays and The Mondays of my life, where they are all of equal value. Where they all feel so good.
I think that my weekend was fuller then I have given it credit for, at the same time, one that provided little sense of accomplishment, and I think that is always the rub.
I saw John for awhile, and he was really wiped from his night out with his sister, and rapidly deteriorated before my eyes, so before 8:30, he was outta here...
I really hope to accomplish something here, when and if I clearly determine what that is. In the meantime, I choose to go to sleep, Thank God, and seek a glorious rest that will spring me energetically into a glorious day tomorrow, and I'm sure that the day will bring insight and awareness of some sort, that I will carry here, to this forum, to this table, so that I may at last, somehow know, my purpose. Goodnight, sleep tight...

Sunday Morning, After The Sleep 11:32 A.M.
Create A Rewarding Life. FAITH KNOWS!
Good day, woke to cats giving me feed me eyes, so, I had to oblige. Made a few messy abstracts on my paint program, amateur hour for sure, and just to prove how I feel, I stuck them in an album on FB...and there they are, for all the people I know to see.
Found this amazing Buddhist chant/ meditation video on you tube last night, which lulled me into a peaceful sleep. Ahhh, the colors, the sounds.
Picked up my Gandhi book that my sister gifted me with at Christmas, and there were a few points he made that I feel it necessary to include in this writing.
They are: An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Fair means alone can produce fair results
A Man is but a product of his thoughts, what he thinks he becomes.
I believe Gandhi was Hindu, however, I will have to read more to clarify, and the thoughts statement is Buddhist. I think Hindu has some roots In Buddhism, however I am still
learning, so don't quote me on that.
I had a GOD Related thought last night, tying into this bible quote, can't reference it, however, you know it when you see it: I am the Lord Thy God, thou shalt have no other gods before me.
This is taken so literally every day, and if you really see the meaning, it is this.
There is a Divine Power that guides us all, we all to some degree seek awareness, some kind of faith system that keeps us on the right track, that helps us stay good. GOD Is the drive behind the variety of beliefs, God is in Buddhism, and Hinduism and all different belief systems, just with a different face, god is the force, the energy, so, he is everywhere, in what you choose to believe. However, the other god's are the gods that man worships...And what is the biggest god that man worships you may wonder...
$$$$$Money. The biggest false god that there is...$$$$$
The great material things that you amass in this life, all acquired through $, cannot travel into the kingdom of God as they say, however, we believe that the more we have, the better we are.
Can you buy Faith?
If you could, would we not all own it?
The truth is that for every person on the planet, there is a different belief system at work. Is it our duty to judge and/ or to convert?
Just something to pause and think about.
