Thank you for the friendship! This comment is for you or anyone reading your comments that can possibly relate
If you have created a job, a relationship, or anything that is not bringing you joy, look inward and ask why you feel you must be in a relationship with anything or anyone that does not bring you joy. Often it is because you do not believe you deserve to have what you want. Learn to believe you can have what you want.
Hopefully marijuana will be legal soon and then everybody that needs it will be able to reap its medical benefits..Did you know that plastic can be made out of hemp that will disintegrate quickly unlike the plastic products we use today. Also Paper products and clothes can be made from hemp. hemp grows back so quickly that we could save all our trees and cut down drastically on global warming. The human race needs to wake up..
"The old people came literally to love the soil, and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling of being close to a mothering power. Their teepees were built upon the earth, and their altars were made of earth. The soil was soothing, strengthening, cleansing and healing. That is why the old Indian still sits upon the earth instead of propping himself up and away from its life giving forces. For him, to sit or lie upon the ground is to be able to think more deeply and to feel more keenly. He can see more clearly into the mysteries of life and come closer in kinship to other lives about him."
There is serious conflict and trouble in the world today. Yet as serious as that trouble is, it cannot reach all the way into your heart. The part of you that loves and desires peace is at peace even now -- even now, when there is so much violence and turmoil, even now, when there is so much uncertainty. Even now, there is far more love than hatred. And there always will be. For hatred quickly consumes itself, while love just keeps on going and growing stronger in your heart, even now.
It is wise to be concerned. Yet keep this in mind. Your very concern is proof itself that love abounds, that peace is real and present, even now. Let that peace live in you and be expressed through you, even now -- especially now -- not through anger or blame or retribution, but through love, compassion, and the strength to make a positive difference.
See yourself as moving the world positively forward, and you will, with your thoughts, with your actions, with your love. You feel the urgent need to do something and indeed you can, even now.
Give your love and understanding, even now, even to those with whom you disagree. Although you have differences with others, there is much, much more that you have in common. Although there are plenty of excuses for hatred, there are many more reasons for love, even now -- especially now.
The need for love and the opportunity for peace have never been greater than they are, even now. For the more we see of the darker side of life, the more we truly and sincerely desire to live in the light, and the more we appreciate the immense and unfathomable love that we've been given, and that we are free to give. Even now. May your day be blessed with beauty,love and joy...love and light always your friend negra.
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will often be lonely, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself - Fredrick Nietzsche
I am the light unto the world: who ever believes in what I say Should not abide in darkness, and if you do not believe, I judge you not,
For I have not come to judge the world, But to bring light.
When we open our centers up, we open our hearts and minds to the unconditional love that our Father gives us, and the potential of all the possibilities of the Universe. Our Father places no judgment on us-we do that to ourselves. My dear friend Ana Kanpa, Thank you so much for your patience and hanging in there with me. I have been without internet and my car for almost a month! Quite the challenge. You are always in my heart and mind. “Woman in wings” India
