The Prayer for Protection

The light of God surrounds me;
The love of God enfolds me;
The power of God protects me;
The presence of God watches over me.
Wherever I am, God is!
~James Dillet Freeman

Learning

I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.

Home Stretch

Hiya Boardies my Goddesses....

Heading toward the home stretch of the semester. Just finsihed a 20 page Journal for my History class...thank heavens for caffeine. So I'm headed off to sleep finally. I have several papers, and final exams coming up. My last exam is somewhere in the second week in May. Almost there! Woo hoo!

Love

Love
"Watch the people around you express love. Learn from praying, from knowing God. Don't be distracted by rap music, Hollywood, soap operas, or other earthly offerings that are merely entertainment, not spiritual sustenance.
Remember: love exists in our lives at all times, even if we feel especially alone because we do not have a significant other. Love is all around us and inside of us."
~Patrice Gaines

Higher Power

Higher Power, I ask You to come into my life and show me how to trust and understand You.

Buddhist Wisdom

A person of wisdom should be truthful, without arrogance, without deceit, not slanderous and not hateful. The wise person should go beyond the evil of greed and miserliness. Do not get excited by what is old, do not be contented with what is new. Do not grieve for what is lost or be controlled by desire.


- Sutta-nipata, translated by H. Saddhatissa

Feeling Lost

Hi Rose,

Been feeling kind of lost these past couple days about where I'm headed in life--as far as my financial situation goes as well as the job offer I had gotten (which doesn't seem to be going anywhere at this point in time). Is everything going as it's supposed to be?

Happy Birthday by the way!

Thanks,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

ROSE,

HAVE YOURSELF A GREAT BIG WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!
MAY YOUR DAY BE FILLED WITH HUGS AND SMOOCHES and LOVE :-)

Loves ya!!

Buddhist Wisdom

Therefore it is said that the whole universe is just an illusion, unless you immediately realize the vehicle of truth and attain the mystic path all at once, forgetting all about subject and object, arriving at basic unminding, seeing through worldly troubles, understanding gangs of devils. If you effectively understand this, it will make you happy for life. If you still dont understand, its just because you yourselves are avoiding it.

Now

Now
"Only when your consciousness is totally focused on the moment you are in can you receive whatever gift, lesson, or delight that moment has to offer."
~Barbara de Angelis

Those with initiative, mindful, clean in action, acting with due consideration, heedful, restrained, living the Dharma: their glory grows. Through initiative, heedfulness, restraint, & self-control, the wise would make an island no flood can submerge.
- Dhammapada, 2, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

education

Hi Rose,
I cannot decide between going back to traditional school to become counselor or untraditional like lomilomi?
thanks,
