emptychair @Shiva49 It can be hard at times, as the state of the world affects most of us, demotivating, and depressing, us at times too. We have to try to keep shining our light out of ourselves, despite the darkness all around us then.

I don’t. Almost everyday the same unknown phone number calls me. I don’t answer because it might be a scammer. I told hubby to check the numbers online if there is one. Our telephone number is not on the phonebook of our city as...

Many people seem to have a hobby. I have several that I enjoy, although I have to admit that I don’t have the time to spend on mine that I used to, although I still cook daily. Cooking somehow soothes my soul. I love to read...

The old Jewish Rabbi once said that reading scripture creates a reservoir of love in you as much as does praying to God. The two are equal in importance when you live a good life, connected to God. Life does not...

The old Zen master had just died, and he left a deathbed new koan for his students to solve, on which the replacement mastership, of himself, depended. It was simple, and short: When a life is over, is it over, or just...

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, with God just around the corner to our soul, it should kick into us with a loud enough wakeup call, eventually.

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, our journey was set up originally to be bliss, but it has moved away from that, largely by our mind getting in our way, so once our soul comes to the fore, as you said, we will again walk on our true path.

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, the world is a nasty spot at times, but our soul, like pure water, can refreshen our view and wash the slate clean for us to see things correctly as they really are there to be seen. God is in all things, and our soul knows this, and enjoys the...

YoghurtGal @Shiva49 It is I was so shocked this happens here. Property is so expensive here and the landlord has been nothing but kind to this person. He is trying to evict him apparently but everytime the bailiff comes they lock the house and pretend to not be there. I...

In the film "Dracula" (1931), the quote goes: "They're all crazy except you and me. Sometimes I have my doubts about you.” An asylum employee says this to a nurse who works there. It fondly reminded me of some of the best friends...

While living in Latvia, all the majestic oak trees all around were my friends. I cannot describe why I felt that way, but it was as if I gathered strength from them, and they whispered to me. Starting with Henry the giant, tall,...

Thelma Thank you @Shiva49. I went to Rome and Vatican City before the millennium. The fresco ceiling in the Sistine chapel was indeed mind blowing. I felt as if I was in the other world at that time.
