Had a wonderful day today. Lenny and I went to our friend
\nFrankie’s house in Sylva, to work on Frankie’s computer and have a good
\ntime. We did both… didn’t quite get done with the computer, but
\nit was definitely better when we left than when we arrived. Then
\nLenny and I went to O’Malley’s Pub in Sylva and had a good time hanging
\nout with all the college kids on St. Patrick’s Day. And upon
\nreturning home, I had another fabulous conversation with Pam.
\nEverything that could have gone well did, except for hearing that Ale
\nhas a fever which is why she hasn’t written much. I also came
\nhome to more ideas on how to write a new website I’m just starting work
\non.<\/p>\n
Hugs,
\nMe<\/p>\n
Addendum: Something DID go wrong. I left my
\nOrganizer\/wallet, with all my identification and credit\/debit cards, at
\nO’Malley’s, and nobody turned it in. I have protected myself on
\nthe credit & debit cards, but some pictures are impossible to
\nreplace (including the only picture I have of my brother), and some of
\nthe membership and ministerial wallet cards will cost money to
\nreplace. Ah, well. In front of every silver lining is a
\ncloud, LOL. – Moss<\/p>\n
Second Addendum: It’s 7 pm on Monday, and I just got a call from
\nO’Malley’s Pub in Sylva. They were cleaning up, and found my
\norganizer\/wallet tucked away somewhere. My friend Frankie is
\npicking it up from them right about now, and will bring it to me on
\nWednesday. So the only problem now is waiting for my new credit
\nand debit cards, as all the old ones have been cancelled and will be
\nreplaced by mail. – Moss<\/p>\n
=====<\/p>\n
Children, your true nature is like the sky, not the clouds. Your nature
\nis like the ocean, not the waves. The sky is Pure Consciousness, and
\nthe ocean is Pure Consciousness. The sky simply witnesses the clouds.
\nThe ocean simply witnesses the waves. The clouds are not the sky. The
\nwaves are not the ocean. Clouds and waves come and go. The sky and the
\nocean remain as the substratum of the clouds’ and the waves’ existence.
\nThey have no existence of their own, they are unreal and constantly
\nchanging. Like the sky and the ocean, the Witness is the substratum.
\nEverything happens within that supreme state of witnessing, but the
\nWitness remains uninvolved. The Witness simply is – pure and untouched.<\/p>\n
