Quote of the Day – August 31 2012

“We’re all just walking each other home”
— Ram Dass

I’ve been lost in the woods of my being for so long. I see but do not understand. I have so long ago lost my way that home has become an abstraction. Then I meet someone who describes their home to me and I get it. I now know what home is. I am still lost but now I know that somewhere there is home. I want to go with this person to home but he tells me he cannot. His home is not my home. He leaves and I am devastated. I now know home exists but I cannot go there

She sees me devastated and asks why. I tell her and she ruffles my hair and tells me of her home. Only the home she describes differs greatly from the one the man told me about. Yet they are both home. How can that be? It seems that home can be more than one thing. She tells me that I cannot ago to her home either yet we have walked quite aways. I hug her and thank her. She leaves with a smile

One by one, you all come to me and tell me of your home. Some things sound so nice and I believe that for me they mean home as well. Other parts sound rough and I know that my home can never be like that. I walk with each one and step by step my home creates itself in my being.

Finally someone comes along and says to me “Beautiful home you have there” and I realize with everyone’s help I am home

Blessings, G

“It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.”
Ram Dass

Some Random Thoughts

..and so I continue to walk around the elephant, honouring each description i hear while never losing sight that a greater truth exists, one that I may never know fully but each person’s truth enlightens me further.

Recognize the moments of joy, beauty and love each day and focus on them..Yes pain, corruption, greed and much much ugliness exists and those we tend to hold close doesn’t the good stuff deserve equal time?

Videos of the Day – Double Shot of Ram Dass

I remember reading “Be Here Now” when I was 13. It had a colourful cover and fun pictures and it attracted me in the bookstore :). The ideas and concepts I encountered in this book brought me way beyond the scope of the things I learned in Hebrew School :D. Amazing so many years later and there are still things I learn that I know in that book and still need to realize I know them…
