A Christmas Visit with Jesus
Last night I dreamt I laid my head on Jesus's chest, and just sobbed.
His hair was longer than I'd always imagined, extra hippie-looking, but that's fitting for me. I didn't even feel sad in the beginning, it was almost like I just went to hug him, and then, as I rested my head there, the sobs came from somewhere deep within.
Still trying to process this, just had to get it written down before it faded into memory. Because, no, this is not something that's ever happened before... I do know that I felt very safe, I guess that may be obvious, safe enough to let it all out when I didn't even know it was there.
Just wow...

peace and love...
I simply cannot focus on work today! sheesh. headache, yucky stomach... Could it be because i'm trying to quit coffee and carbs at the same time? I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead this weekend, then Food Matters. Wow. Time to pay attention to what I'm putting in my body!
But that's not what I came here to say. I just noticed that when I used to leave people, I would say 'Peace'... and now I've started saying 'Peace & Love'.
(Well, depending on who I'm talking to... wouldn't want anyone to think I was flirting... ah. hell. but aside from that little neurosis...)
What does that mean? I'm happy for it, I do wish everyone peace and love, and I should let them know that. That being said, I'll come back when I really have something to say.
Peace and Love,
~t.

What are you doing ?
Wait, wait,” God says. “Let me get this straight…”
“I gave you a body able to swim oceans and climb mountains…and you sat in a cubicle?” “Right.”
“I gave you creativity, and you made widgets?” “Yes,” the guy says.
“The one thing I withheld from you–the only thing you could never get more of, time–you traded away for…?”
“Money,” the guy says.
I saw this on some website yesterday, and had to have it. I tried to look for who to credit, but couldn't find it again... I think it speaks for itself...

Another Point of View
Or is it? This article is rather lengthy, but such good stuff. I have strived for these exact same things - only with different terminology. What they call 'the Divine', we call God. Namaste - another way to say love, grace, acceptance.
http://www.yesyoucanchangetheworld.com/info/namaste
Everything is connected - I really believe that. There is a paragraph in this article that speaks exactly to what we've been learning in the TrueFaced study. This sounds so much like the realm of Pleasing God, rather than Trusting God. It speaks of beginning to act out of pure love and compassion, rather than a learned script of actions.
We get so focused on doing and thinking that we don't see the Divine that is right before us..."I think the reason we want to learn what to do and what to think is that doing so makes us feel safe. It gives us a sense of control. If someone gives me a 'proven' process or a step-by-step formula, it feels a lot easier, a lot more accessible, a lot more achievable."
If God is trying to teach me something, it comes at me in many different ways until I get it. Or, he simply speaks in a way that I will understand. I was taught all of my life that Eastern religions were wrong, and we should run from them in the same way we run from witchcraft. I'm just not seeing it. Everything in this article makes sense to me. Nothing I've heard in my yoga class is anti-Christ. In fact - it's brought me closer to God, by reminding me to be quiet, and listen, and pray.
I know only 2 or 3 people actually read this, but I welcome comments. I would really like to know if I'm getting way out there, or if it makes sense to you, too.
