The Lords Prayer

Matthew (chapter 6, verses 9 - 13) 
Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name; 
Thy kingdom come 
Thy will be done 
On earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us this day our daily bread; 
And forgive us our trespasses 
As we forgive those who trespass against us; 
And lead us not into temptation, 
But deliver us from evil.
This a prayer from the new testament taught by Jesus

I will; to will; Thy will

10 Minutes of Zen, Awakening, Conscious Contact, Gayatri mantra, I will; to will; Thy will, Love, Meditation, Mindful,
I will; to will; Thy will 

"I will; to will; Thy will"
is a prayer a good friend of mine often recites. I am not certain of its origins but I believe it incorporates the idea that I must continually try to align my actions with my beliefs. More simply, it means I surrender to God.
Why a hippopotamus? Why not? Watching a hippo on land, I might not understand how such a huge animal could possibly move swift enough to eat enough vegetation to sustain itself. Watching a hippopotamus gracefully dance among the cichlids shows me how with a little guidance I may be able to achieve whatever my true purpose entails.

A Memoir of the Awakening of the Spirit

I read this book a couple of years ago. I believe it is well worth the read. It is one mans "Mindful" journey on his own path to improve his concious contact through prayer and meditation. The Mindful Addict – A Memoir of the Awakening of the Spirit by Tom Catton

Surf and Sunset

My favorite meditation/calming thought is when I picture myself laying on the beach with my feet just touching the waves. I feel the cool water beneath me as the waves come in and the warm sun on my face. Take a deep breath and start this video.

I am trying as best I can to live my life with love. I try to approach my surroundings with love. I try to approach other people with love.  It isn't always easy. I am not always successful but when I do, we are all better off.
