whatever feeds your spirit

Whatever feeds your spirit and harms none is valuable. Whatever piece of art, gesture,natural scene, food,colour,music, words that brings light to you..that nourishes that light within you is valuable. Never worry that someone may find what you love, what brings you joy is in bad taste, corny,crass, or cheap. It is your own spirit that decides if something feeds it..if something brings it more light. Cherish these things but never form attachments to them. Be free. All attachments are like children, eventually they need to be let go...gifted to the universe. Always strive for light and love and freedom of your spirit. Any strong attachment will drag you down as well....love it and let it go. All things that bring us joy and pleasure but allow us to be free are good things...feed your soul. Be strong in what you love and trust the creator that that which feeds you is what nourishes you. Be fed and then let it go to do its work for others. Share your joy with those that are open to it. Never force your joys upon another...but have them there incase they also want to be nourished. Never question your joys that harm no one and no thing. Play.

I'm on a yahoogroup that right now is embroiled in constant bickering. Now I'm not adverse to some squabbles as people generally are trying to figure things out and it is a real struggle through process which can get frustrating. However....when people are just concerned with "winning" making others stop talking back, making sure they save "face" and don't look weak..this is where that old trickster-devil ego makes his appearance. The belief that we are separate..that we might be all alone and need to protect our views...the idea that if we look weak others will beat on us...the idea of control that you MUST protect or chaos shall rule...is just a lie. Let it go. Know that people change opinions on things..that people grow no matter how long it may take or how many lifetimes! have a little faith that we can disagree and that it's not the end of the world. Know that your friends will stay your friends...and your false face friends may leave dependant on which way the wind blows. Know what matters. It doesn't matter if you "win" or if someone else does. The only thing that matters is that we grow....we are honest with ourselves truly and that you have the self-esteem to be able to look like a complete prat and laugh along with others at the learning process. Strutting around puffing your chest out ...or slapping the ruler down on a youngsters hand does little but makes you look like your own importance matters more than anything. Be brave enough to lose, be brave enough to learn something, be brave enough for peace and love to matter and faith in the learning process matter MORE..than anything else. Just my advice and opinion. I try to follow my own advice...don't always attain it...but I do try. Blessings.

Hot

It's freakin' hot!!!

that is all.

My boyfriends father

I met my boyfriends father in 2006 in San Diego California. Harry is a remarkable person, not only a Nobel Prize winner but in his eighties, still working as a Professor in a University. I took to Harry right away with his gentle humour based on puns, his joy of life, his interest in learning and music and best of all his close relationship with his son, my boyfriend. I think we had a mutual admiration society there..and it continues now. Harry told me that he considers me his honorary daughter and I beamed at that. I didn't have the best relationship with my ex-in-laws and was not expecting a beautiful thing to happen with Harry...but was happily surprised that it did. Thanks Harry, thanks for giving me another father to send father's day cards to...to be embraced by another family in such acceptance and love and for giving me such a beautiful boyfriend as well! Happy "early" Father's day. love Ravy
