Fighting Anger

None of us are getting any younger. NOPE can't stop it. What do we do when we are thinking more about the years behind us than the ones in front of us? GIVE GIVE GIVE..that is what we do. We continue to give the universe the one gift NO ONE ELSE has...ourselves!

We only have so much time but we have plenty.  What we do with it is up to us.  How are you going to spend the rest of your time..today, tomorrow, the next moment.   No time for asking.  GET GOING!!

This is about answering the question yourself. You need not look to anyone other than what is in your heart and on your mind. What are you destined to do with your life?  Maybe you are like me...still asking but I am on my way to coming to terms with who I am, and I started the journey.  Have you started?

We can learn about what happens with neglect just by observing Mother Earth.  We do not have time to neglect Her nor ourselves!  Who has time for numbing out? We have a life to live….get your life! Get busy living, live in the calm and smile as much as you can.

This is the time to take a moment to BE in the moment.  Join me for this quick meditation session and a word from Thich Nat Hanh.  Namaste.

Buddha believes that we are as sentient beings are here to suffer.  But he also believes we are to notice it and with it identify with compassion and love as the foundation for being a whole being.  Buddhism promotes alleviating suffering as an individual and for fellow mankind.  Hmmm...what does that mean for being a social activist today?  

We are all nothing more than a product of our mistakes! Should give you joy you are not alone. 

What happens to a 13 yr old urban city boy once school is out?  What is he thinking and how does he make the next choice in his life?  Does he have the resources available to him to do so?  How do any of us manage hard choices.....wisdom is imperative...WISDOM over DESIRE.  

How do we manage anger! Is anger justified if we are directing that to someone full of hate. How do we address anger and hatred towards and for people that have done unprecedented harm, such as a mass killing of children.   What does the Buddhist philosophy say about this.  We can be angry in retaliation but what does that do for us?

I enjoy being a Mom and I enjoy being a Buddhist.  But wait I am new to both...what does that mean to me?  Not sure...but I know what I want for my daughter and I know what I GOT from my mom!  If I can show her what my mom showed me that would be the ultimate gift. My mom gave us EVERYTHING we needed and she gave to us in the way WE NEEDED to receive it.  TO A BEAutiful woman, Beatrice Webb.
