And so, I Blog!!

Soooo, everybody is blogging except for Moi? Is this the newest form of writing? Are we headed towards the reality of the movie "Fahrenheit 451 "? What a tragedy that would be!! I have tried Twitter~for about 48 hours ,not for me at all! I do Facebook, but also find it to be truly surfacy and a bit of a waste of my time. I like to write, not twit or mindlessly comment. So, I guess I will. :) Here I will share on the most precious thing in my life, my recovery and my spiritual journey. If my only audience is that of the ether, that will be good enough ... for I write not to be read, but because I am called to write!!! And so, I blog!!
I will begin with the daily readings from the book:

A Grateful Heart ~ 365 ways to give thanks at mealtime edited by MJ Ryan
The Winter Prayers began on the first day of winter ~ so I am begining there. The winter prayers begin with this thought:
A thankful soul is thankful under all circumstances, a complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise. -BAHA'U'LLAH
Please join me in thought-provoking conversaton! Namaste' Cate

the circle of life

Praised are You, Adonai our God, Guide of the
Universe, who creates innumerable living beings
and their needs,
 for all the things You have created to sustain every living being.
 Praised are You, the life of the Universe.

                   - A JEWISH BLESSING 


It is a tradition during funerals for Jewish families to eat round foods: peas, bagels, eggs, tomatoes, onions, all round to represent the circle of life.  I love the circular view of the journey of life: always connected to the source, beginning and ending and ongoing....
This blessing also presents another angle on  that view ... the creator of beings, the creator of the needs of the beings and the creator of the things needed to sustain those needs....
Each being so much the same, and also so unique ... each created for their own purpose, and also a part of the Oneness....all connected within the circle of life.                                                                  cate
