FRIDAY MORNING

This is the second time I sat down to write this morning. I started writing early, because I need to go to the feed store and I was, also, eager to see, the seven sheep, we bought yesterday. When I was finished with the draft, I, apparently, neglected to hit publish. When I left the page it was gone. I don't know that I can recreate it, or even, if I should. Well, let us see what will happen.

I finally finished a few things, that I normally do, in Late May. For instance, I planted my gladiolas on the 10th. That is a week beyond the last day to plant them in the Twin City area, if one hopes they will bloom. Our first frost is a week or so earlier than that, so they won't bloom unless we have, as late a Fall, as we had a late Spring.

I had to do a little fencing repair, yesterday, to prepare for the sheep we bought. The sheep, lambs really, large and newly weaned. They should do very well on our pasture. Last Fall, I sold my sheep and the pasture has grown phenomenally. It is a little rank for the taste of some sheep, but it is full of tender plants too, that they will like. Our pasture, has been a pasture, for over a hundred years, it is excellent.

We are amazed at the verdant growth surrounding us. Despite the late Spring, nature seems to have accelerated and made up for lost ground and then some. It has never looked so lush.

It looks like Paradise. Flowers blooming in all the gardens, fat cattle, and milk cows grazing in rich pastures. Everywhere you look there is beauty and richness. We see a world of loveliness and great promise.

The world is Paradise, until, we read the paper, or listen to the news. The media depicts a different world. A world we can  ignore.

We need to pay attention to what is going on between our ears, however. It is our thoughts that will determine what we will see. When we are seeing a miserable world, we may protest that it is of our own making. Yet we shouldn't protest. We should celebrate our power. We discover, that we are in charge of our perception. What a wonderful thing! We can decide what the world will look like.

We are beings of great power, that create with Love. We, cannot help, but create paradise. The folks, that have been in control of our world, have dreaded this day. The day, we discover, our collective power; the Power of Love. They have successfully kept us divided. They are masters of divisiveness. They set race against race, nationality against nationality, culture against culture, religion against religion, city against country, gender against gender. Yes, they were masters indeed and, they, still, attempt to keep their lofty station and reap the rewards of wealth and power. They know it is over. It is truly over. They are now fearful of retribution. We won't seek revenge. We will forgive. We see their misery. How can one live without Love?

Yes! We woke up. We realize everybody is equal. We realize everybody is equally worthy. We realize we all derive from Source. We, no longer, will accept a diminished status. We will, no longer, listen to attempts, by anyone, to convince us we are not worthy of Paradise.

We look around us. We see Paradise. It is ours. We deserve it. Keep it in your mind. Reaffirm it. Don't let it slip away. All the universe is behind us. We are surrounded by Unconditional love. Yes, yes, yes, we can make it permanent.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
