Good Day LOVELIES!
Hope ALL is well in your neck-of-the-woods and BELIEF is blessing you with enlightening VISION. I long for YOU to secure the time to FEEL that which has been invisible to your naked eye ... I truly envision the blossoming of your tunnel and welcome the passage of enlightenment. As I listen to Dave Stringer, I realize my body is recollecting his energy and freely flowing to the chants that once upon a time in Laguna Beach passed the idleness of my solemn lips. My spirit raises beyond deep gratitude as I bow my head ...
then,
crumble to my knees.
I have been idle lately ... absorbing a different life style ( I moved from Laguna Beach, California to Phoenix , Arizona!). Now, I seriously have to tell you - THAT IS an ADJUSTMENT! At the age of 50 I moved to Laguna Beach from Ohio. ADJUSTMENT! It totally fascinates me how life changes from one scenery to the next. It extends beyond unfamiliar country with different weather and different geography, there seems to be long dark roads with twisted turns and narrow paths to future ... well, unknown. Therefore, as I stumble through the scenery, I realize what a bunch of bologna I have fed you, my dear, sweet reader.
My last post was on ANGELS. Seriously if I truly BELIEVE what I penned than my ego would not be ruling the roost and I would be confident in the reality that one is truly never alone if one has FAITH. ANGELS have no boundaries, their presence - their POWER is not limited to geography,country, weather, twists, turns, AGE, race, religion, etc... YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE in something, anything , YOURSELF - YOUR FUTURE - YOUR PRESENT - THEIR PRESENCE - THEIR POWER to SENSE the obstacles and eliminate the NEGATIVE ENERGY you, as a human, put in your own way. You MUST GRASP that no matter where YOU are at in your life, no matter what path you journey, and what obstacles YOU THINK are in your way, they are only riddled across an ILLUSION CREATED by your CURRENT PERCEPTION and YOU, my dear sweet reader CHOOSE that REALITY. And trust me on this ...
perception changes when you open your lens to that which is naked to the human eye and BELIEVE in the POWER of FAITH. Henceforth your esteem WELCOMES obstacles and RECEIVES them as nourishing tools necessary for growth and enlightenment.
I have a dear, dear friend Donjo ... I sincerely have to tell you, to watch him chant is an HONOR! He is one of the oldest practicing Nichiren Daishonin (SGI)Buddhist in the United States. His FAITH absolutely amazes me . NO MATTER what ... and seriously, no offense Donjo, I have seen this guy go through some serious s--- ... HE IS STILL HAPPY ... HE STILL BELIEVES! HE IS ONE of my VISIBLE ANGELS! I want one trickle of his FAITH! He reminds me FAITH is FREE ... it is a CHOICE! HE CHOOSES TO BELIEVE .... HE CHOOSES HAPPINESS!
Another VISIBLE ANGEL I wrote about a couple of times is Reverend Rosalind Russell (see' The Other American' and ' Crippled Minds'). She is living in a tent, yet TODAY she is gifting someone with a bed and refrigerator. REALLY! Talk about selfless and unconditional! I bow to her honor and her BELIEF! Without a shadow-of-a-doubt she GETS IT! She doesn't blink ... she doesn't worry ... she KNOWS, so therefore she fears not. She walks with her head high and grounds to the roots of her own esteem for she KNOWS she walks not alone!
Let us NOT forget my prior post on my Father's passing. I KNOW ANGELS exist ... I have SEEN them ... I have FELT them ... I have WITNESSED their POWER yet in times of turmoil, I surrender to ego and forsake that which I TRULY KNOW to be TRUE: WE ARE SURROUNDED BY THE LIGHT OF PROTECTION. Nothing negative touches us unless we open the door.
Why does one surrender to ego when walls come tumbling down whilst another raises above and beyond the fundamental darkness inherent in life? Perhaps it is not one's obstacle, geography, path, country or weather that needs an ADJUSTMENT but one's VISION - one's BELIEF - one's TRUST in that which one's eyes can not see nor one's ears hear but in that which one's belief KNOWS to be TRUE as witnessed in the wealth of wisdom beyond oneself. Maybe, just maybe, if ego LETS GO of its control, and quits pampering the negativity we can CHOOSE to interact with ALL of the varies manifestations surrounding our being and in stillness, celebrate the fact WE ARE NEVER ALONE, ANGELS are EVOLVING around us ... guarding the breaths gifted to moments of enlightenment ... even in the DESERT!
I hope as you journey the scenery, your spirit raises beyond deep gratitude and you bow to the stillness of BELIEF ...
and the POWER of ANGELS!
I bid you a GOOD EVENING with LOVING BLESSINGS! Nishli-nil, d.
