" What is it about the "things" of the world that captivate you so much that you hold so tightly to them. They are those things that are so enticing to you and appealing that you attach yourselves to them like glue. These are the things which are material in gain and yet you cling so easily to them. True life is not made nor created by these things and they are those which do not bring you happiness in this life.
The glory of the sunrise and the beauty of the opening heart that learns to trust for the first time; the first love, the riches of the laughter of children you hear playing in the streets. These are the simple things, yet they are those which are far more valuable then any other of the world.
Find the joys of your lives in the smiles of those who love you and the passion of your hearts in the embrace of a child. Rend your heart for the poor on the streets and use the technique of "random acts of kindness" to make the day complete for even those you have never met.
These are the things that will keep you warm in days when the lights are a bit dimmer and the body is not quite as lively. The smiles and the warmth of the love you have among one another is the sweetness that will "keep" you in times of lonliness and trials. Hold the dearest ones close to you and forget not the love of the ages, your guiding star, the power of Yeshua.
Namaste!

Well I haven't gone so far as you have. I've experienced the little things of life. Like when your sitting on a bus with all these people looking and they are so disciplined not to talk or do or say anything unappropriated. To me I always think I don't get enough scenery into my mind before I go to sleep- enter the black message board. I wont to be able to see and saturate myself with all the things around me. You look at something when your driving and you see something knowing that you will not remember or see it ever again like a person. That’s why it’s important to hold in those images because when we will die we can remember.

well Michael that was a deep thought there, and yes I agree with you, I love nature and I long to be in my own sancutary surrounded by water and nothing but trees and fields...and just beauty of the earth.. and yes I think we will remember all this when we die as well... once I thought i was dead but listen I past out and I was hallucination on drugs, the two combined were very dangerous that I passed out, and my mind was very confused, I heard a million voices of everyon I ever met, and It was the craziest thing because It was as if I was looking down upon my own mind, does that make any sense?? anyway, this is interesting because what happend was I was watching a movie with a few friends and I just dropped..my friends said that I just collapsed all of a sudden and during the time I was out, I was trying to bring my body and mind toghether again, I thought I was dead..It was the scariest thing I also felt trapped in my mind..or that state of mind, and alll I could see what colors flashing and stactic, alot of static,..I could actually see it..and I could hear my own voice say' you are dead, over and over again..I just thought no can't be, I can't be dead... than I began to feel reality, and my vision slowing stated to grasp the pictures of reality, and I saw a light, it was the light of my bedroom, ..all of sudden I just jumped up ...and my friends were sitting there panicking , saying Ronni do we need to go get your mom, ronni, and they kept saying my name over and over, and that is what brought me back now, this is what they saw happening while I was out, they said I was sitting there and all of a sudden I collapsed, they turned on the light and came over to me trying to wake me up, and they said as I was laying there, a Tear drop came from one of my eyes... and they checked my pulse and heartbeat, nothing...than they said all of sudden I just jumped up, out of it, they said my eyes looked so big and open...and they said it was like I came back to life... it was crazy, never , never again will I do such drugs...I learned my lesson... and this expeirience showed me that the mind is very powerful and that I,me was lost for a bit in my own mind...and my mind was confused with my body, it didn't know what was going on.. but the images I saw during this episode were very strange colored kind of like a dream, in fact it did resemble adream very much, however It wasn't at all...
