The feeling of uncondtional love, i have this very same feeling everyday when i look at my children. They have grown from my own body, and are so very unique, but yet will always be part of me. <BR/>And then there are those even more momentous feelings when we are all together doing nothing in particular like snuggling under a blanket, unity. <BR/>Today is the 9th of July and here in Australia our two miners who have been trapped 1km underground have been freed after 14days. That same feelings of warmth, love, tears, and oneness the miracle theat is life can be felt everywhere here today it is a wonderous thing. <BR/>It is only sad that it has taken such a tragedy to bring this nation to this moment.<BR/>Love and Blessings JulesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15560139.post-1143771516953550812006-03-30T21:18:00.000-05:002006-03-30T21:18:00.000-05:00Dear Musawwir, I do know that feeling of basking i...Dear Musawwir, <BR/><BR/>I do know that feeling of basking in another presence appreciating their being it is wonderful and I know at that time of connectedness that I would do whatever is needed. <BR/>At work, I have spent the last two years at work with a protective cocoon around myself and now I am just starting to connect with the people I work with. I am making a conscious effort to engage. <BR/><BR/>I have noticed that I often have to nudge myself to grasp opportunities to engage even during times where it should be obvious that friendship and community demanded it. <BR/><BR/>Things to think about<BR/>UrielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15560139.post-1143301107402501372006-03-25T10:38:00.000-05:002006-03-25T10:38:00.000-05:00I am reminded of the too brief time I spent with a...I am reminded of the too brief time I spent with a family in Senegal. At mealtime, everyone sat on the floor in a circle. In the center was a large bowl of spiced rice. Around the edges of the bowl were pockets of various vegetables - carrots here, eggplant there. Each of us held a large spoon, larger than a soup spoon. After prayers, each person served the others from the vegetables in front of them. No-one took, only received. And then everyone ate from the same bowl. Without seperate 'my plate's, I found that I ate just enought to satiate my hunger. And without the OK to 'take', the food, which was given, was a blessing much more than physical nurturing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
