emptychair @Deepizzaguy That is good, as they will be warned if a fire started again in their new house, but we hope that never happens to them again.

The old Zen master, Enrico Zerboski, had become different in his teachings to other Zen masters, over the many years, while he had been the head master, at the Ryoko monastery. He would often debunk many of the long held...

emptychair @Shiva49 We especially drift if we lose faith in any religious beliefs, or in God, and put it all in the waste basket. Life is only half lived without its spiritual side, which gives us all the right reasons to live, and to live for.

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, we need to grow our seed of wisdom, and truth, in us, instead of just leaving it on God's shelf. Connecting to God allows such growth as his love is what makes both truth, and wisdom, grow in us, plus the use of a good fertiliser, provided by an...

There are so many things going on when it comes to loving someone or some things in life. I must admit that it adds shades of life. It could be the happiest or the saddest to experience. It is up to us to embrace the changes and...

emptychair @Shavkat Yes, I would agree, and add that God should be at the centre of all that we ever do too.

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, America seems to like creating cans of opened worms these days. They then claim that the worms were packed, and opened, by others, when they are usually of American origin too, and opened by them, as well.

emptychair That's well said, siva. Yes, we are made from love, so we should stay being that love, as we live fully from it too. We should never move away from love, for any reason, like for prestige, status, or too gain materially, or to laud it over, over our fellow...

emptychair @Shiva49 And our graves need to be dug by hand, as there is no diesel for diesel powered tractors to dig them for us. A lot of people are afraid, and too fearful to travel too, so the world is shrinking, because of a few blown up pompous nutters in control.
