2012 - The year the Mayans say that our current world will end...perhaps!  Depending on who you read it may simply be the end of one age and the dawning of another.  HHHMMMM...Get Ready...

I ponder a lot as of late.  Speaking with my brother this morning, he said something profound: "As for me, I'm OK-ish...Frazzled, busy whilst also feeling completely detached from most all that I am engaged in at the moment it, not just because of the fallout over Dad (who also has multiple myeloma, and is a Priest, who in an earlier stage of life trained the French Army to fight in Vietnam), but also because this is all fundamentally trivial...when I would rather be dealing with things that matter, i.e. people and their souls.  This may be an issue for me as time goes by."

That, and dealing with the Synchronicity...

I asked myself , "When the shit-hits-the proverbial-fan, what happens?  Does God, the Creative and Sustaining Power of the Universe, become larger and more important, or does the dross of everyday life simply fall by the wayside, making it seem so? 

God is God, and Yes, it is God's job to forgive, while it is our job to ask! While this is true, we must not forget the items of respect and reverence, integrity, honesty and openness as we are busy becoming... Who are we fooling...anyhow ?

As the Old Sage has said, "The ends (at most times) justify the means. But if we live our lives with no mind regarding the end, we will develop the tendency to misuse the means."

"What are you saying, Fred? "  

Live your life on purpose !

Find stillness; occupy that "Stillpoint"; follow the ensuing clarity and be kind to yourself.  (Be honest and disciplined, but kind.)

DISSOLVE YOUR SELF INTO THE ONENESS OF TAO!

Find out for you, yourself, what is important, and follow your heart!

"IF WE EXAMINE EVERY STAGE OF OUR LIVES, WE FIND THAT FROM OUR FIRST BREATH TO OUR LAST, WE ARE UNDER THE CONSTRAINT OF CIRCUMSTANCES.  AND YET, WE STILL POSSESS THE GREATEST OF ALL FREEDOMS, THE POWER OF DEVELOPING OUR INNERMOST SELVES IN HARMONY WITH THE MORAL ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE, AND SO, WINNING PEACE AT HEART, WHATEVER OBSTACLES WE MEET!"
