It is another gorgeous day on Planet Earth. I was just watching a Gold Finch feed on the giant thistle outside my window. His head was graced with white fluff. I reached for my camera and that was his signal to fly away.
This is the lushest year in my memory. The year has favored some weeds over others; thistles and burdock have exploded. The vegetable garden needs harvesting. I see ripe tomatoes hanging on the vines. Cucumbers have got away from us. The first batch surpassed pickling size. Peas and beans need picking.
I wanted to talk about humility, but I am not sure I can. Perhaps I am not humble enough to really see what humility is. I think of humility as giving our gifts without reference to self.
Many of us, in the process of opening our eyes, see a lot more intellectually, than we have actually been able to incorporate into our lives. We may see how the world needs saving and focus on our part in it. We may see ourselves as a world saver, when we cannot grab our own ass with two hands.
We can't change the world by suggesting how other people live their lives. We can only get our own house in order. When we achieve peace and happiness, our light will shine. People will be attracted to the light. If folks ask for advice and counsel, then and only then, should one answer. Sure people may ask without words and there are times when we can offer help without an open request. However, we must tread carefully.
We can be helpful seeing through, the layers of superficiality, people present. We can practice seeing the perfect being that is all of us. If we know we are love and the other is love, do we need to see the ego manifestations?
We need to be aware of our own ego manifestations. Do we secretly, or not so secretly, want to be a savior? Do we really think we know how to save the world? Or save anyone? Several keys on my keyboard decided not to work. The delete and return buttons and the rest on that end of the boardboard. Love and Peace, Gregg g I will continue if I can figure it out. wat THAT S thaR sac rellsectsecretelys
