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

It is ALL good!!


The dictionary defines night in terms of day and day in
terms of night. Can we find a way to talk about light
and dark without talking about good and bad?  To love
both day and night?  Can we hold the beauty of both
in the same breath?
                                                                            - Ruth Gendler


We are so funny, aren't we?  We so often define beauty by comparing it to seeming lack of beauty, good by compare to the seemingly bad and right compared to somebody's notion of wrong ... how narrow it is to define everything in accordance to its perceived opposite.

So, how about remembering that it is all good ...
and all beautiful ...
and all right.

I was challenged once to try to make it through one day without a judgement ...
wow, that is such a challenge ...
i grew up thinking about things in terms of comparison!

I am slowly letting go of that kind of thinking,
learning to embrace ALL,
just as it is!

It is a new way of thinking and seeing ...
for which I am challenged,
and grateful!!
