It appears from the Photoshop glow surrounding the head that the new pope

has been 'fast tracked' to sainthood already,already.

Must Read

Battle for the Mind

A friend has recently read the re-issued reprint of this book. I first read it 49 years ago. I rank it as in my TOP 5 important books.

If you really want to be 'true to yourself' you need this book to protect you.

so, why do we argue about our differences…

 

unity celebrates perspectives

 

for it is no more and no less than simply differing dialects of lovingness. These could be celebrated as opposed to condemned

I wonder if Lulek's name can now be transposed with the name of a Palestinian child?

2013

new year 2103

New Year enters 2013

 

Aye, and what is time
but the marking of a memory upon life's walk.
And what is a memory
but a time-stamped experience
a beat of creativity
that is the rhythm
of our eternal spirit's talk.

The dialects of our lovingness
paint the clouds
shape the snowflakes
mark the moments with a tenderness
of compassion and of caring

Aye, and what is this life's walk
if not a wondrous journey
blessed by sharing
And what is this 'now' moment,
this second standing before our eyes
if not another gift of enlightenment,
a glimpse wherein we realise....
we are all one.

That which we do or give to another
we do most surely likewise to ourself.

My beloved India..

Still hiding behind your so-called 'traditions' that are no more – and no less – than the chauvinistic behaviours of boy-men. Still hitting your children.Still treating your women like slaves and denying them basic human rights.

After all these years, even after the leadership of an amazing man,M.K.Gandhi, still you resist the inevitable recognition of the dignity and rights of women.

For Shame,India. For Shame.

You desecrate the beauty of your spirituality, the sanctity of your specialness. This horrendous crime is merely a reflection of attitudes and behaviour patterns.An extreme reflection, but a mirrored image nevertheless.
