in the face of the vast suffering in the world right now, this message is especially important to remember that we can make a difference however small.

On a morning when I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed these words gave me a whole new perspective, a reminder of what is real. Thank you.

Brother David's wonderful familiar voice. How strongly his heart speaks, thru his words, to my heart.

We take so much for granted, hurrying day in and day out. The more grateful you are the more your life is supported. A favourite quote by Deepak:
"Today and every day, give that, which you want to receive" It could be a smile, a flower, holding the door open, a compliment, a hug"

I NEED to be more grateful! I have been getting so overwhelmed with right versus wrong decision-making and have overlooked the simple amazing miracles of everyday. Thank you for opening my eyes!

I am grateful for being able to be in relatively good health and to be able to look up and enjoy the sky. I do look at the sky every day! Every day is a gift, even though life can be hard and dark so much of the time. If we can see past that, we will truly know what a gift it is to be alive.

THANK YOU SO. I listen to the calm of your presence often. I am in the world challenged daily to BE Peace, the change I want to see in the world. Ideals expand and thus I am MORE Peace each day.This is unconditional love. From this space I enjoy life and my taste for it grows. This is the DAILY great work of grace. When I slip I know my reality is showing me my inner child is holding a belief that is causing me pain. I do Ton Glen and breath out the change and forgive, bless and thank all for all. We are all mirrors.
