The Wounded Refuge... By John Dambold






When asked...  
"How did the wound occur?"  
Silence hung threatening to steal the oxygen...  

Risking rejection...
"How did the wound occur?"  
Still the silence hung.  Finally the Old Oak sighed... 
"A storm"... 
Excitedly the next question came...
"Really, share the story, did it hurt, what did..."

Slowly the Old Oak peered down at his visitor...
"My friend" he stated "it is just a story and I am not that story...  I am a story of Love and Grace...  See here...  This life was born out of the wound but I am not the wound, but without the wound, I would not have this story of Love and Grace..."

After thinking about the Ancient One's words, the visitor said...

LIVING IS SO BIG... Because of Love

FRIENDS I HAVE YET TO MEET... BY CHRIS AGUDO

There are 7+ billion people currently living on planet earth!  The way I look at it is that there are 7+ billion friends I have yet to meet.  They are not 'strangers', or 'scary', they are simply friends I have yet to meet.  Think about that...

This may be a new concept to you, you may think that this is balogna.  You may even think this to be obscene and not true.  Well, honestly, it is very true for all of us. 

You may be reading this and I may not know you, but I guarantee that if I get to meet you then we shall become friends.  That is how I think, because all of us naturally have a tendency to want to be friends and want to be at peace.  That is human-nature.

Do not over work your mind... By Jesus Agudo

Do not over work your mind. Keep the revolutions of thought at a manageable constant pace. Let the mind enjoy, as it processes and learns what it needs at that given time. Try not to overwhelm it with much clutter and distraction. Take a moment to detoxify when needed. Be kind and reasonable with what enters the mind. Be wise and choose the thoughts that best fit your needs.

Rest the mind every so often just by breaking the unchanged routine. Step away and embrace new change. A simple glance out of a window to enjoy the day can suffice. You will make the realization when your mind begins to flow with such harmony. It is all within us to achieve such harmony.

The mind will alert you so please do not ignore it. It merely wants you to feel the best that you can feel. Do not be afraid to open the mind to such feelings of love, happiness, joy or bliss. Do not fear the manifestation of such feelings. Embrace it. Keep sending out the pure thoughts. It will reach its destiny. It will reach the right person that it was meant for. 

Why not smile? ... By Iliana Agudo

I've noticed when I smile it makes me feel better. To know that I can change someone's day just by smiling when I look at them. When we smile there is no need to even say a word. A smile is universal.

The way we act... BY Chris Agudo

The way we act is the way of a sincere humble manner, yet we also act the way of an ego, greedy, and manipulative manner.  I call it the teeter-totter effect. 

As the human-race we must realize that we are all equal and all of importance.  We must come to the realization that to live together in peace is natural and the way to go.  It is the way we were meant to be, at peace and helping one another out. 

Do not let the teeter-totter effect tilt towards the ego, greedy, and manipulative manner, yet lean towards the sincere humble manner.  Be the one you set out to be.  

If you see someone in need of help, help them out.  If you see one who has fallen, lend your hand to help them get up.  Simple acts of kindness and humility go a long way, way farther than those acts of the ego.

The day will come when we are all at peace and living the life we set out to be, but till that day, we are still in the chaos we have created here on earth from the many, many centuries of being here.

LIVING IS SO BIG... My soul

Living is so big because my soul is forever......I am the soul, therefore I am forever...... I realize that, so I must continue my journey in this physical plane, I must accomplish my goals and I must do what I set out to do.  I am the soul, not the body.  Living is so big because of that.

I am a person with purpose... By Jesus Agudo

I am a person with purpose, life, family, friends, feelings, enjoyment, kindness, spirituality and reasons yet to be discovered. I have no need to run or hide, no need to hate or cry. I am never alone. I look around and see that I am never alone. Look at me as I'm surrounded by sunshine, daylight, air and many amazing people. It fills me and it feels like magic. Look at me as I realize what I have, I have you and much more.

I am not alone. I have many dreams and I accept myself. I live and learn and that is my attraction, what I live for. What will I do? I will continue as I am a person just like you. I have accepted myself and my desires. It fulfills my needs from head to toe. It is safe to be alive. I am here now and now is when it counts. It's safe again to try harder... be alive!  I exercise my self-control and manifest wonders when I apply myself.

LIVING IS SO BIG... Someone cares

Someone cares about you.  Living is so big because someone cares bout you, you must never forget that, ever.  If you end your life, then the one who cares about you will feel let down.  Never give up. LISB.
