Happy Birthday/Anniversary to me!

Today is my 58th birthday and 10th wedding anniversary with Mark – yes, I decided he only needed to remember one date.

Today I want to share a beautiful quote by a respected elder whom Mark met in 1971.

“The galaxy’s great spiritual thinkers, from every sentient species, have taught the wisdom of seeing beyond any appearance of lack or limitation.  Because they recognized the natural perfection at the heart of all of life, they saw the greatest possibilities. They knew that wholeness, beauty, peace, and harmony were always present and would express if recognized and embodied.  These spiritual masters saw their world with eyes of wonder and awe – even if they had no eyes.

“They teach that each of us lack for nothing.  Each of us is part of a universe so abundant that it is impossible to count or comprehend the reach and richness of it.  Infinite means never-ending, never ceasing, always replenished, always greater and more, beyond imagining.

“You have access to the Infinite.  Your nature is part of the divine, and the divine is ever giving, ever pouring forth with anything and everything that is needed.  The universe would not exist if it were not a self-sustaining and continuously expanding system.  Each sentient life is part of this system, and you partake of its nature and composition.  Like the water that makes up most of the human body, the infinite abundance of the universe is inherent in and as you.  There can be no separation, or a cancelling-out, a defeating of both, would happen, and nothing would exist…”
