My beloved friends

 I wrote this post and somehow it disappeared off the radar. I thought I posted it. My computer must be playing a game on me. Anyway I will try to remember what I wrote.
I was saying that I awoke to three things which the social media says is important and maybe the are. First is the unfortunate death of Canadian star of Glee hit show - Cory Monteith, secondly the diagnosis of cancer of the sweet Kyle Massey, many would remember from Dancing with the Star and thirdly the verdict of not guilty in the death of Trayvon Martin. Three very interesting turn of events.
Many people express anger, sadness and grief on Face book and other social media. I am not immune from it but with the verdict of not guilty found on the basis that Mr. Zimmerman feared for his life. It sounds to be that is too easy. Just because I feared for my life I have the permission to kill someone. Zimmerman is a burly, big guy and Trayvon  is a young skinny lad and unarmed. Anyway there is always a lot going on but I try not to get too caught up in the drama of human plays. We are all actors in the play of life.

In spite of what's happening out there we can choose peace, happiness and joy, in spite of the terrible things that appears to be happening. We have to know that everything that happens is one thing and our reaction and interpretation of it is another thing. According to Dr. Wayne Dyer who does not believe in getting into the drama of daily life if it makes you feel bad and depressed because he says if by being mad, depressed, sad or vengeful would solve the problem he would encourage all of us to go that route. Our reaction does not change anything except makes our mood sour. But what if we could raise the vibration of the world by meditating, saying a prayer, cultivate random acts of kindness and see beauty everywhere, and that could make a difference to how we feel and how we react to each other, wouldn't it be better to do that? I am saying this prayer for the world today - it is an Hawaiian prayer - May you be safe, may you be healthy, may you be happy, may you live with ease -. I say this to all my relations - the two legged animals, the four legged animals, those that fly and those that crawl upon the earth. And so it is.  I encourage you to do the same.
You are divinely loved and cared for.

Quotable quote

“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must of felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
" Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.”
Alexandre Dumas
