"Nothing" is ...Buddhism is like nothing.<br /><br />"Nothing" is the key to contentment.<br /><br />When there's nothing urgent and unpleasant to be done, when nothing needs to be said, when nothing is desired or needed; that is where to find peace and contentment.<br /><br />"Nothing" can be found in simple chores such walking the dog, washing the car, casual gardening or housekeeping and yard work. One of my favorites is watching the sunset while sitting quietly on the back porch.<br /><br />Letting go of worries, anxieties, unpleasant memories and concerns for the future really is possible. Not always, and not often, maybe, but the occasions can be found.<br /><br />When we find the here and now, we find ourselves. Compassion and love must begin inside, and for our self. <br /><br />From there it's easier to find compassion and love for others.<br /><br />The world is still full of beauty, and peace can still be attained within our own minds.<br /><br />And it costs nothing. – Rev.

There has been chatter that ...Jesus was an Gnostic.<br />There has been chatter that he traveled to India. <br />God is in ones self. Not inside of a Cathedral. <br />One does not need to be reborn to find God, as many Evangelicals preach. <br />God found you, and has been with in you all this time. <br />He never left.<br /> We are the ones that are abandoning him. <br />Buddhism, is like Tao.<br /> It is the way. <br />The path to inner self.Tao Dao Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229628652152584292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405102889755809982.post-29129729198665431782010-04-15T22:51:07.443-04:002010-04-15T22:51:07.443-04:00Ha Ha

It never fails: the people who end up following my blog are always the people with whom I share much more than just an agreement on the one post that introduced us. Let's talk Karen Armstrong, Elaine Pagels, Buddhism-the-unreligion, liberal politics, Rachel Maddow, and goodness knows what-all...what on earth made you think your blog might be too "spicy" for me? Was that ageism, honey?
