STILLNESS

"Stillness in the moment is an act of power fundamental to strategic planning, stealth, dance, expression, beauty, and growth." -Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 4.21.10

Insignificant Goals


"Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.".......(Song of Solomon 2:15 (NKJV).

Some years ago a headline told of three hundred whales that suddenly died. The whales were pursuing sardines and found themselves marooned in a bay. The small fish lured the sea giants to their death. They came to their violent demise by chasing small ends, by prostituting vast powers for insignificant goals.

How often in life "little things" can seem so insignificant. For instance, the kid who smokes his first cigarette probably reasons with himself, "One smoke will not hurt," never dreaming he would get addicted to nicotine. The same is true of the alcoholic and the drug addict. One drink will never hurt, or one drug will never hurt, never dreaming that they would end up as hopeless addicts.

Then there are those of us who pride ourselves that we are not addicted to any substance, but allow our lives to be consumed by so many little things that are harmless in and of themselves but take us away from God's purpose for our life.

All too often even good things become the enemy of the best in that they hinder or stop our becoming all that God has envisioned for us.

May we so live that in the end when we meet God face to face we will have no regrets but hear his welcoming words, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord." How we live today will determine what that outcome will be.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please give me the good sense to know that my life here is just a journey and a preparation for eternity. Help me to know what your purpose for my life is and so live that I will have no regrets when I am called home, but will hear your words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen." by Jenny Matin

TRUTHS

Jenny Matin is freedom

“The reality is that we see things not the way they are but the way we are. And the more untruthful (dishonest) we are with ourselves, the more we will distort all other truth, including God's truth, to make it match our perception of reality and to have it say what we want it to say. In other words we exchange the truth for a lie.” – Jenny Matin

“There are times a lie takes on a different form, and how it looks changes as one's perception of the lie, or the situation needing a lie appears.” – Gregory E. Woods

 

SELF IDENTITY

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." ~Henry David Thoreau

 

"Allow love to unfold...it is the answer.” – Marian Linda Tucker

Nadine Williams at a reading

“She (Bathsheba) teaches us that mercy can be the beginning of a brave new life, and that we all must carry our grief, release it, and live again.” – Jenny Matin


“Ester reminds us to be imaginative, as well as courageous. We don’t always have to fight to get what we want; we just have to outwit our adversary.” – Jenny Matin

"I am moved by the poetry of embracing life, and the emotions capable of evolving from the scrimmage of base elements that generate mystery to the everyday." ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories



















"Let our togetherness BE for the unity of our Spirits ascending to the summits of our BEings. Give ourselves the daily bread of self care, self awareness, self respect, self affirmation, self determination, self definition and self responsibility in focussing our dominant thoughts on seeing only what is sacred and holy no. Bless your visions with the power of inner peace and silence." - Mereana Taki, healer
