Stunning poem and Pointer reminder! Thank you, too, for the Monopoly pieces reminder. Wasn't there an iron? And a shoe? How awesome. I pray they are not plastic in new editions!

In all sincerity:

One of my first mentors responded to me (when I was in my 20s and struggling with "where to go, what to do") the following:

"If God wants you to be in the middle of a war zone that's exactly where you need to be."

Well. I got it and never forgot it. It went in. From that moment forward there was total acceptance of whatever situation I was in, no self-blame. My preferences might be other, but I have no argument with God's Will (What IS).

For the record: I don't mind speaking in satsang; it's the identification or rather indulgences in identification that bring out the sword from the teaching seat. ⚔️

Much love and gratitude.

Thank you, Erin! I always wanted the dog, so the others have fled my memory😊.

We’re on the same page here. I have been thinking about a little booklet Werner Erhard used to give out after the est training. One line was “If you wonder if you are doing what God wants you to do…….you absolutely are!”

I agree about talking in Satsang- often I enjoy it! But when something wants cutting, let the swords come out.

I’m so glad you liked the poem!

I love your comments!🙏🏼
