This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 22, 2009:
Mister Rogers ... do you remember Mister Rogers??? He had a special meditation; it went like this:
At the center of the universe is a
loving heart that continues to beat
and that wants the best for every person.
Anything we can do to help foster
the intellect and spirit and emotional growth
of our fellow human beings, that is our job.
Those of us who have this particular vision
must continue against all odds.
Life is for service.
Mister Rogers Neighborhood - Fred Rogers - 1928-2003
YES! The wide-open compassionate heart, loving serving thriving in a joyous eternal loop of giving and receiving. Such JOY lives here, and strength, and wisdom, and knowing.
Surely this is what it means to be "fully alive." Not living an unlived life, a life fearful of falling or stumbling or losing. No, I wish to fully inhabit my days, allow the sometimes apparently chaotic journey of life to open my heart ever further and further, to make me less afraid, more accessible.
May I pay attention to all that is good and beautiful on this sweet blue-green planet and in all of the universe! May my heart soften and grow ever freer until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. So that what came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that goes on as fruit. YOW!
