Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.
             
~Thich Nhat Hanh

If I keep my eyes open, I see bugs and snakes and intricate tiny flowers and cool rocks and nice smiles and beautiful architecture and gentle kindness. If I keep my heart young I notice great places to play, nice sunsets, cool hideouts, neat ice formations, and strange and unusual birds and animals. Life is never ordinary. We can make it seem ordinary by closing our eyes and hearts to its wonder, but that's not life's fault. I prefer to notice the little things and then leave them be--never trying to take them with me or preserve them--because that's what life's supposed to be, and that's what makes me happy and keeps away disappointment.

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

Many years ago, early in our relationship, my wife, Devers, said something that impressed me profoundly. "You are very kind, generous, and caring -- when you stop long enough in what you are doing for it to occur to you. What you have never learned is the discipline of kindness.  This means kindness that is not a matter of mood or convenience.  It means kindness as a basic way of functioning.  It is in you as a potential, but it doesn't happen without consciousness and discipline."  "The discipline of kindness"--I have learned to love that phrase.  When I mention it in lectures, everyone seems instantly to know what it means--just as, I suspect, you do now.

Kindness works simply and perseveringly. 
Hence it is the furthest reaching
and the most effective of all forces.

~Albert Schweitzer
        
~*~
      
When I interact with individuals around me
in thoughtful, caring ways,
my actions become an influence for good. 
I know that kindness shared multiplies and
has a ripple effect as it radiates from one heart to another.

Be mindful to be kind
Practice random acts of kindness
Not only will you benefit the lives of others
You will also benefit your own life

Chances for heroic giving are rare, yet every day there are opportunities to give a part of yourself to someone who needs it.  It may be no more than a kind word or a letter written at the right time.  The important thing about any gift is the amount of yourself you put into it.
           
~Arline Boucher and John Tehan

~*~
           
It was our belief that the love of possessions is a weakness to be overcome. Its appeal is to the material part, and if allowed its way, it will in time disturb one's spiritual balance.  Therefore, children must early learn the beauty of generosity.  They are taught to give what they prize most, that they may taste the happiness of giving.
          
~Ohiyesa, Santee Sioux

Blessed is the influence of one true, 
loving human soul on another.

On Friday, January 20th,
I will be taking the day off from work
I will be spending the day in prayer and meditation
Sending out positive vibrations of Loving-Kindness to all
And Rededicating myself to promoting Peace and Love
loving my friends and family
and making the world around me a kinder place
          
I will also be broadcasting
A Celebration of Peace and Love
Through my CimWalls YouTube Channel
I am attempting to create my own TV station program
          
To make sure it will work
I'd like for you to do a practice test
Go to my practice YouTube Playlist here:
 Once on the page
Click Play All 
 This will open a new page
With the Good Stuff Playlist
It should start playing
It should automatically play all the videos
One after the other
You don't need to listen to the entire playlist today
I just wanted to make sure you can access and play the playlist
If you can, then you will be able to tune in next Friday for
AOM TV's Celebration of Peace and Love 
               
 ~*~
