So according to a religious group I won't bother to name today is the end of the world. What am I doing to prepare for this tremendous occasion? My laundry of course (staying faithful to my task). After laundry I tried to rush and get to yoga but realized I only had 5 minutes to get 20 blocks so I came home and felt like sharing some loving thoughts with anyone who reads this.
I look out at all these hate spouting "Christians" and shake my head. I also find more and more people who hate all religion and any one who would be "foolish enough" to believe in an invisible Creator or afterlife. I wonder what satisfaction of fulfillment they could possibly get from determining to claw at others. I am not talking about church going Christians or devout Atheist. I am talking about people who fill their lives with bitterness, fear, and worry and focus on spreading it. Today and everyday let us share love and peace. One thing Jesus said that always gets to me is "I leave you peace, my peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives so do not worry (let your hearts be troubled) and do not be afraid" With true love from God inside of me that is the kind of peace I want to share.
I have had a quote on my wall from W.B. Yeats' The Second Coming since I was in college:
The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
It is so true that the worst kind of people tend to make some of the biggest impacts on the world. Since the day I read that line (actually I think I heard it first) I made up in my mind that I wanted to be the best, and full of passion. I know many good people who have achieved that very goal and so while scam artists and false prophets reach great heights let those of us committed to being the best versions of ourselves and making the world better find an even deeper conviction within ourselves to make our mark on this world undeniable.
Namaste Y'all and God Bless!
