Love is Prayer

By -
"You pray to what you love; for true, whole prayer is nothing but love."-St. Augustine

And this is so true, for God is Love, the unifying force of the whole universe. In true prayer we are love, filled with love, and thus at one with God. It matters not what we call God or what we claim as our creed, when we pray from the bottom of our heart , we align ourselves with unconditional love.

And by extension, as we express unconditional love to those around us, we align ourselves with the presence of God. As we love others we acknowledge the Divine nature within them. Thus our daily lives can become a prayer in motion. As a wise man once said,"Inflame thyself with prayer"!
Let's make our lives on earth a spiritual bonfire today.

Sweet post! I had meetings all day today- but before my day began I prayed. What I asked for was to be conscious in my connections with each human.... to interact from the God within not from the ego. It was a beautiful day. Sorry we keep missing each other... The Universe has some plan...

I've been out of town and just re-read some of your posts. I think this is one of my favorite. I love the last line, "Let's make our lives on earth a spiritual bon fire today!" Wow!

The Peace Sign

Today I was driving in my jeep with the top down. Wearing my red bandanna and groovy sun glasses, I cruised flying high on an over pass. As I came down the ramp, I felt like I defined freedom. I wanted to throw my hands straight up in the air like I was on a ride at an amusement park, for safety sake, instead I let a primal scream soar up to the blue sky filled with billowing white clouds. The young man in the car behind me roared past me with his moon roof open. He must have felt it too, freedom. He stretched one hand high trough the open roof and gave me the peace sign. Ah, a kindred spirit I thought, smiling bright, I extended my left hand high waving "Peace" to my brother then I laughed uncontrollably. According to Wikipedia,the Peace sign or the "V" sign,or the “victory sign,” is a hand gesture with the index and middle fingers open and all others closed. It was used as a sign for victory during the Second World War by Winston Churchill, originally with palm in...

About a year ago I saw the movie trailer for Happy-go-lucky, a British film.... guess what, it was nominated last night for best screen play. If you can find it in the movie theaters, go see it. I promise you will laugh and come away lighter. Here is the link to the trailer: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1454928939/bctid1450952300

The Age of The Sensitive Man

Splashing in the deep end of the adult water fitness class, I couldn't help but notice a man sitting on the side of the pool holding his infant daughter. She was wearing a pink one piece swim suit and a white floppy hat. I doubted that she was even able to walk yet. Her cherub like legs hung down over the edge of the pool and her tiny toes barely touched the surface of the water. The contrast of the man in his prime with guns that rivaled Mr. Florida holding that tiny human was inspiring.   One of the men in my class introduced us to his grandson.   He’s a handsome young man around fifteen.   My British swim mate commented that he was dishy.    He was- dishy but, what was even better was the fact that a fifteen year old would partake in a water fitness class with his seventy-something Granddad.   As touching as the man with his baby girl sitting by the side of the pool, the grandson and grandfather partnering during water exercises was equally as pre...
