I read Huxley and God quite a few years ago and have a copy in my library. Aldous Huxley has always been one of my favorite authors. Huxley and God, remains one of the most profound books I have ever read…
Peace, love, joy – these, according to St. Paul, are the three fruits of the spirit. They correspond very closely to the three essential attributes of God, as summarized in the Indian formula, sat, chit, ananda – being, knowledge, bliss. Peace is the manifestation of unified being. Love is the mode of divine knowledge. And bliss, the concomitant of perfection, is the same as joy. ~~ Aldous Huxley: Huxley and God: Essays

In the peace of a winter’s night
I saw my reflection in the snow.
I was older
And so much wiser,
Yet there was so much
I did not know.
(c. Pamela J. Leavey Amesbury, MA 2011)

I am responsible for my words, my actions and my choices. When I take responsibility for all aspects of my life, life is simpler and I am at peace with myself. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

How deep is the well
To the river running to your heart
As you journey to find peace
Do you seek but a place to start
The answer lies in the river’s flow
Running silently to the well.

The past few weeks have been interesting… When I started my journey last fall, to move cross country from Los Angeles to Maine, I considered it to be my “mid-life crisis adventure.” I knew I needed a change and it was important to me to be living back on the East Coast where my roots are and to live near family.
Perhaps it is the long hard first winter here, but I think not, there are days when I wonder where the light is at the end of the tunnel. Spring is here, warmer days, longer days, but the sun is not the cure all, for I feel often still that I have not found that missing piece (or peace) I seek.
I’ve been sorting through what I want to do next with my life, like many who have been affected by the economic downturn we are in, I am looking to re-invent myself. Come what may… For now I continue to keep looking…

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves. — His High Holiness, The Dalai Lama
Today marked the 50th anniversary of The Dalai Lama’s exile from Tibet. I am constantly astounded by The Dalai Lama’s inner peace when it comes to Tibet. I admire his will, but I believe it is time for a Free Tibet.
