The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip.

In the early days of Kamp Kumar at Anvil Ranch, we would gather at the Santa Rosa airport and await the bus (or whatever transportation) to bring us safely to Safeway to stock up on stuff for "roughing it" at Kamp, and then take us to Anvil Ranch.  Santa Rosa is the home of Charles Schultz, and sometimes our wait at the airport for said transportation could be three or four hours, depending on our travel schedule.  Thus, on my first visit to Kamp Kumar, I got "antsy", waiting, and took a cab into Santa Rosa to find something to eat and visit Charles Schultz's home and artist studio.  That seems like such a long time ago! 

You don't have to actually answer the questions.  Just read them and you should get the point.

Yeah...Well BIG DEAL...All that has changed ; I'VE GOT CANCER NOW !

HHHMMMNNnnnnnn I mulled over in my head .

They continued., "You've got a handle on this...You had your ‘one hell of a year' !

I never thought this would happen to me..."  Oh....

My initial advice is to always "uncontract"; and remain open at the top !

People are often puzzled to read statements about Warriors , as it conjures-up thoughts; perhaps of war-mongering, BasketBall Teams, Savages replete with Spears and Blow-guns, and maybe, just maybe Spiritual people, Warriors of Peace, Spiritual Warriors, etc. not to mention the Warrior-Priest !  

 Last summer I recieved "The Gift of Hafiz", a book of poetry, written by  a man so deep and so mystical, that he has been called "The Tongue of the Invisible" !   Often I write about Life as a Path, and those on that Path  as Pilgrims and Warriors , on their  way Home. Ours is not an easy Path, as it is sometimes lonely , but it is always worthwhile !   This Path does require something...a depth of honesty, courage and of course Matri...Loving-kindness...and an Openness to allow and to "Let Go" of the unnecessary, in order to become...  

Interesting...New Sins ? As if we don't have enough already !   As a child growing-up in South Boston I attended Catholic Church .  

Now I read about New Sins :    7 Deadly Sins...Now More to Fear ...Whew !  

Seven Deadly sins apparently aren't enough anymore ! To the long-standing list of Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Wrath and Pride, we now have added as of last month : Genetic Experiments, Mind-damaging Drugs, (thus so we won't become Drain Bamaged) Pollution, and the  Growing Gap between Rich and Poor...Sins ! Last year , as I remember the list was expanded to include Drunk -Driving and Road Rage. All this , and the Ten Commandments as well...WHEW !  What's a person to do ? And is it true that cardinal sins are sine committed by Cardinals ?
