Dearest Friends,

I hope today finds you well. I hope today the sun will give you some laughter. I know the rain will follow sometimes, Yes it does, for me at least. I live out in Oregon. where there is always some rain and some shine. But There is always a day that dawns with the sun peeking out, and I am grateful.

There are many of us that have our love, safely wrapped up in a little cocoon within our heart. Most of the time “ The feeling of Love” is connected Directly to a person. by being connected with this person we experience, (for ourselves ) this wonderful experience or feeling.

It is rather profound and makes our hearts sing. Like the little sun on a cloudy day. It reminds takes us to another realm of realization and  awareness. This feeling of love makes us want to do Good Things, not just for that person but also for ourselves. It makes us want to shop ( that’s me ) Eat cake ( that is me again ) take long walks ( may sometimes, that’s me ) and generally feel good about ourselves.

However just as love can bring joy it can also bring pain. The profound thing about feelings is that we each have our very own feelings. It is truly ours. It relates to all our past experiences and so echoes all our past sentiments. The Feeling of love too bears this sentiment. How wonderfully profound and evolved is that. Each new experience of love or the feeling of it adds to our bring energy and brings to our soul and spirit a new awareness . This new awareness is explored initially through the Heart organ and then the mind organ and then of course the ever evolving spirit.

Sub topic 1 How does this feeling of LOVE help us. ?

It evokes in us an extreme sense of well being that connects our inner spirit to our Bodies and fusses them as one. In one moment of time our soul and body fuses together to give us a brief feeling of what a part of heaven could be like.

The “feeling of love” or “being in love” also makes us closer to what God himself “ the supreme being” – we get a glimpse as to what all that is about .  It is true that each of us has a God Place. For the Spirit of God dwells within each of us and so it also reflects ( at times ) the characteristics of God . This is a wonderful thing, this awareness can surely make our spirits and soul rise above this earth and grow in a most profound way.

Sub Topic 2 – How To Truly love Each Other.

Sometimes we end up judging others and feeling a little more than frustrated with their actions. Most of the time it is because they don’t do the right thing or we are just not happy with the way they handled maters. In other words they are NOT in alinement , with us. This can be viewed in many ways.

• Either they are just plain ol mean or having some underlying reason why they just cant be nice to us. It could be some control issues or they just don’t see it our way cos their experiences are just not what we have had. In each case it is what it is and to dwell on it for so long can only make you mad. There can be healthy variants of opinions and there can be unhealthy arguments over them. Getting in to a fighting match that will only exasperate and create issues. It is better sometimes to speak your truth as you see it and then leave it. If it has a sense of credibility to it or if it rings a true at a later date it will be thought of and accepted in the mind of the other individual, or you and I have to accept the fact that it is not in alignment with with them and be gracious enough to let it go.

• Or they could just not be agreeing with you. Period. So you and I can say. We agree to disagree. Even though in your mind you feel that you are right. You may be so. However we don’t have the right to press that down another’s throat , they must realize this through their own experiences and understanding. And sometimes, just waiting around for them to do so is not a very practical thing to do, and It is better to move on . and realize that we are all very deferent. Find peace with that.

It is apparent that we seem to judge those that we love more than the stranger on the street. We build some expectancies around our friendships and loves and we get a little upset when they don’t comply  or see eye to eye with us.

Then we get a little negative, may be even a little irritated and say that they are just Not being who they should be.Or that they are joust not learning the truth.  Remember they will learn only if they chose to or They may never learn.Or they may never want to learn. Or they may just simply have another point of view .

All of this becomes more bearable and realistic when we realize that there is wonder and beauty in being deferent people. and may be that was one of the reasons why you liked this person or loved this person in the first place.

It is always healthy to have more than one point of veiw. Either way it is better to move way from this feeling of frustration and judgmental, for with it all we learn of feelings and desires directly apposed to the feelings of love and our friendships and ties die faster for it. In the end, it is you that is found standing on the curb feeling not so good, feeling rather left out and demoralized, even on  a sunny day.

So my friends just as the many teachers have said. Learn to love people for who they are and you and I will be much happier.

I will leave you with this quote by one of the great teachers.

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

Mother Theresa

So just take the time to love, learn and grow …… for today is yours and it is best spent with peace and joy and love.

It was wonderful being with you today. Until we meet a gain. May you have a wonderful day.

Blessed be.
