Thinking of Those with No Heat in the Cold Winter

It has been so cold where I live in the past few weeks; in some parts of the world it was even colder. When I pray to my Beloved throughout the day, I include thoughts for all those who do not have a warm home to live in, due to low income, poverty or war. I shake my head in disbelief that this is happening in the 21st century .The needs are huge! Thankfully, the work of humanitarian organizations and the generosity of millions of donors provide relief.

Oh! my Beloved, I want to honor you and draw closer to you. It is easy to be drawn into daily activities, but you are always present, I don’t want to forget that. May my thoughts contribute as well to help those in need in this cold winter.

Beauty and Solemnity of Winter

On December 21st, solstice day, I sat down at home in the silence of the early evening, and feeling the solemnity of nature at that time, I offered that to my Beloved.

December 21st was also the United Nations World Meditation Day.

On December 25th, another Xmas day came: I enjoyed all the beautiful music on the radio, especially the choir of King’s College Chapel in Cambridge., UK, which I also offered to my Beloved. Xmas is celebrated in many countries, 160 I believe, whether culturally or religiously. Some people, though, did not celebrate because of war, or because they lacked food or medicines.

Whether we celebrate Xmas, Hanukah or Kwanza, may we remember those who suffer.

Dedicating my work

A few days ago I was working on a difficult project, listening over and over to a recording I had to transcribe. As my frustration level was increasing,, I stopped , offered my work to my Beloved and thanked Her fior the privilege of receiving this work to do as service. Several times, in a similar situation,, mostly dealing with technology, I did the same and was able to complete my undertaking.

Likewise, in this time of turmoil around the world, feeling powerless to change anything, I raise my heart to my Beloved throughout the day and offer love and goodwill to countless beings This helps dispels the feeling that I cannot make any change.

Today is an important day, with Winter Solstice Day and the second United Nations World Meditation Day, several events are organized around the world, namely in New York City, to promote peace.

Praying for All who Suffer

Oh! My Beloved, as we recently commemorated Armistice Day marking the end of WWI, and honored veterans who are still suffering from the consequences of conflicts throughout the world, as thousands of people leave their home land because of climate change, or flee from it to escape violence and human rights violations, I turn to you and pray for all victims of such tragedies, especially children. I offer you this beautiful music played by world cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

You Are Worshipped Throughout the World

Oh, my Beloved, as I worship you throughout the day, I thank you for my life, for the beauty of the color of the autumn leaves in the woods, for my health, and, yes, sometimes, also for a difficult day.

You are worshipped throughout the world in different forms: in Native Americans traditions as Spider Grandmother of the Hopis or White Buffalo Calf of the Sioux, etc-,  as Kali or Shakti in India, Kwan Yin in Buddhism, Amaterasu in Japan,

Goddess Amaterasu, Japan

‍Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico

Isis in ancient Egypt, Mary in Christianity. I recognize you and love you in all of these forms  and chose to worship you in a Tibetan statuette representing a Tara.

I feel you in my heart, I understand I am part of the universal consciousness, of which you are also a part, therefore we are one! I pray that I increase my awareness of your presence in my daily life and activities, and that more and more people worship you throughout the world in your different forms to bring peace.
