Food For Thought: Life is Precious

Yesterday, we were reminded in the most horrific manner how precious and fragile life is. Like so many I spent the day watching the horror unfold and as a political and news blogger, I found myself glued to my computer sharing the information on the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.

Today, I want to re-mind friends and readers that compassion, understanding, acceptance and love is so pivotal in our existence here on Earth. Life is fragile. Live each day in joy and choose happiness as your mantra.

Spend some time today reaching out to family and friends and let them know how much to mean to them… And step away from the TV, Computer, Smart Phone and spend some quiet time reflection, either outside or in place of peace in your home.

Love is all there is… Live it.

Food For Thought: Total Abandonment

J. Krishnamurti

Perhaps you have never experienced that state of mind in which there is total abandonment of everything, a complete letting go. And you cannot abandon everything without deep passion, can you? You cannot abandon everything intellectually or emotionally. There is total abandonment, surely, only when there is intense passion. Don’t be alarmed by that word because a man who is not passionate, who is not intense, can never understand or feel the quality of beauty. The mind that holds something in reserve, the mind that has a vested interest, the mind that clings to position, power, prestige, the mind that is respectable, which is a horror;such a mind can never abandon itself. ~~ The Book of Life
