all singing and shining together as one,
the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.

let them see the beautiful blendings

is stingless indeed,
and as beautiful as life.

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men
who walked through the huts comforting others,
giving away their last piece of bread...

to choose one's own way.

Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair."
Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.
Demanding that life meet our expectations
is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.
Life is a game with no rules.
Life just happens to us regardless of our best intentions.
Our only path to happiness lies in being open
to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

Is today a day to gather strength from the storm -
a day to to learn life lessons for the next battle?

and watch the storm rage outside?
Either way, the storm is just life.
Give thanks for all of Life.
