Hey Sweetie,

           

Happy Thor's Day!

        

I hope you are doing well and feelin' fine!

Thanks so much for your comments and E-mails

I really appreciate all the loving support you give me

You keep me blogging
                                    
I've been slowly adding new stuff
To my SoulFood Tumblr
I renamed it SoulFood Tea Garden (link)
The idea is to build an online place 
To relax with a cup of tea or coffee
Sort of an addendum to AOM
So when you are finished visiting AOM
And still want a place to chill with a cuppa
Head on over to
SoulFood Tea Garden

                   

I wish you a most beautiful day

        

Peace and Love,

AOM

I invite you to join me now in this short Metta Prayer
Radiating the energy of peace and love out to all living beings
           
Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind
And focus on the here and now
This present moment
            
Now
Breathe in
Filling your being with peace and love
As you begin each line, breathe out slowly
Breathing these thoughts into the world
Reading, thinking, and feeling the words with peace and love
Sending them from your heart
              
Giving the energy to yourself and to all living beings
Breathe in and repeat the process for each line

Namaste
"The Spirit within me salutes the Spirit in you"

FRIDAY FUN!!!!

When I was in my 20s

I was a huge Van Halen fan

Their music was the soundtrack of that period of my life

I had all their albums

All of their albums recorded on tape for my car

I had the VH symbol all over everything

Even on the back of my denim jacket 

(coolest logo ever)

              

Eddie Van Halen is one of the world's greatest rock guitarists

David Lee Roth is a ham's ham over-the-top entertainer

Together they created great rock concerts and music

So April 1, 1985 was a devastating day for me

That was the day David Lee Roth left Van Halen

One of the things I most admired about them

Was the interesting music they would add

To their hard rock repertoire

They would add their own versions of songs from the 1920s

I think it was David that added that aspect

Here is Dave on his own

Singing two songs from the 1910's and 1920s

Making them his own

Highly entertaining and fun

In the second part of this video

He also pokes fun at the big music video stars of the 80s

I'm sure you will recognize them

:  )

So Here's Dave

David Lee Roth

 "Just a Gigolo" (1928)

"I Ain't Got Nobody" (1915)

from the album, Crazy From the Heat

“It is customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the eclipse of religion in modern society. It would be more honest to blame religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid. When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion--its message becomes meaningless.”

“Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....
get up in the morning and look at the world
in a way that takes nothing for granted.
Everything is phenomenal;
everything is incredible;
never treat life casually.
To be spiritual is to be amazed.”

The Taoists have a famous teaching about an empty boat that rams into your boat in the middle of a river. While you probably wouldn’t be angry at an empty boat, you might well become enraged if someone were at its helm.

The point of the story is that the parents who didn’t see you, the other kids who teased you as a child, the driver who aggressively tailgated you yesterday – are all in fact empty, rudderless boats. They were compulsively driven to act as they did by their own unexamined wounds, therefore they did not know what they were doing and had little control over it.

Just as an empty boat that rams into us isn’t targeting us, so too people who act unkindly are driven along by the unconscious force of their own wounding and pain.

Until we realize this, we will remain prisoners of our grievance, our past, and our victim identity, all of which keep us from opening to the more powerful currents of life and love that are always flowing through the present moment.

Hey Sweetie,

Happy Tuesday!!!

I hope you had a lovely weekend

I enjoyed mine

My Razorbacks won

It was expected and it wasn't even close

So my nerves managed to get the weekend off

This coming Saturday???

Not so much

The best team in America is coming to town

Given that we are still rebuilding

It is unlikely we will win

But ya never know

That's why we play the games

 

I've still been adding to my Tumblr blog

SoulFood Tea Garden

Once you are done visiting AOM

Head on over for more

  

I wish you a most beautiful day

Peace and Love,
AOM
