Coming Forth Into the Light
 
I was born the day
I thought:
What is?
What was?
And
What if?
 
I was transformed the day
My ego shattered,
And all the superficial, material
Things that mattered
To me before,
Suddenly ceased
To matter.
 
I really came into being
The day I no longer cared about
What the world thought of me,
Only on my thoughts for
Changing the world.”

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

“A strange species we are,
We can stand anything God and nature
can throw at us save only plenty.
If I wanted to destroy a nation,
I would give it too much,
and I would have it on its knees,
miserable, greedy, sick.
 
~John Steinbeck
 (to Adlai Stevenson)
 
~*~
 
Experience demands
that man is the only animal
which devours his own kind,
for I can apply no milder term
to the general prey of the rich on the poor.    
 
~Thomas Jefferson

“I am losing precious days.
I am degenerating into a machine for making money.
I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men.
I must break away and get out into the mountains
to learn the news”
 
~John Muir

 “Watch out!
Be on your guard
against all kinds of greed;
life does not consist
in an abundance of possessions.”

 
~Jesus
Luke 12:15

Hey Sweetie,
  
Happy Monday to you
I hope you had a lovely weekend
  
This week I am doing something different
I am going to work exclusively on my other AOM blog
AOM Peace and Love (link)
  
Through it I will continue posting
Our Morning Metta Prayer, AOM Meditations, AOM Music
Like I do here each day
I will also be exploring other topics to post there i.e.
Art, Articles, Dance, and other beneficial programs
  
The focus will not be Male Beauty like this version of AOM
I need some time to work exclusively with the new blog
To see where it will evolve
I hope that it will give me more time
To bring more to Meditations and Music
To have the time to develop them more
  
If you enjoy the Meditations and Music that I bring here
Then I encourage you to visit AOM Peace and Love first
Then visit other blogs that are focused on Male Beauty
That way you can get a healthy start to your day
Rather that starting with the news of the day (bleh)
:  )
  
I need to try this out for a week or so
To see how things go
I hope you will follow me this week

Peace and Love,
AOM

Takes Me Back - Good Times
  
From 1976
   
Lyrics excerpt:
  
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
'Till I'm free
Oh, Lord, through the revolution
  
Feed the babies
Who don't have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, oh, there's a solution

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson,
(Collected Poems and Translations)

~*~

“The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.”

~Arnold Bennett


AOM TV: The Power of Vulnerability by Brené Brown

 SPIRITUALLY INSPIRING
   
 A 20-minute video I highly recommend finding time to watch - (Today)
    
Brené Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk, she shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share.
