Public Service Announcement

Reblogged from Connections & Reflections:

Today's Public Service Announcement: Change your language, change your mind. The word 'dark' does not mean negative. There's positive energy and negative energy. Dark is all-encompassing. Light is illuminating. Black is not negative. Black is the color from which all colors are born.

There is nothing negative about darkness. Reach out and embrace the darkness instead of running from it.

Yes, there is slavery in America as well as in most other countries in the world. Why would people buy and sell other human beings? Greed, profit, gender discrimination, cheap labor force are some of the reasons.

“The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

How can you be well, how can you know peace, if you are always busy? Always rushing?

If your days are blurring one into the other, if you are exhausted and defeated in spirit, or lost and no longer certain of your path, then stop!

If you can't see what you're looking for,
see what's there.

One of the most difficult things for us to accept is that beneath all our dreams and disappointments, we live and breathe in abundance. It is hard when in pain to believe that all we ever need is before us, around us, within us. And yet it is true.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Khalil Gibran

As human beings we avoid suffering and pain. It is natural that we are drawn to comfort and security. However, pain is inevitable. Buddha stated this directly when he is said life is suffering. However, Buddha also stated that suffering, and life is impermanent.
