When you feel like giving up hope read this quote

"What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life." Emil Brunner

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

    

Something to think about and hope it brightens your day with hope

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley
