Useful news for all to advance knowledge of the world and how it works

towards the light of another day…

Develop. Inspire. Transform.

I skip over puddles, one, two, three,
in the mirror images, I see, you
refracted back at me…

always loving and kind, despite the pain
sitting on the surface
of our contoured purpose,
reaching deep within,
looking amongst the worn out travelers, sin

arises, seems raw, and depletes me again…

tired, and tortured, I look to the earth’s very nature, for a sense of purpose

realizing
the feelings, and thoughts, go against the grain

like the trees, bare, and scorched of their outer skins, while flayed and portrayed

in the myriad contexts,
where love is at the center, not grim,
more compassionate, to the travelers
making their way

towards the light of another day…

Liebe ist, was du bist … Love is what you are

Stella, oh, Stella

Jaggi Vasudev (Sadhguru)

Du denkst, dass du die Welt nur durch Wut bewegen kannst. Warum? Warum kannst du sie nicht mit Liebe bewegen? Warum kannst du sie nicht mit Mitgefühl bewegen?

Jaggi Vasudev (Sadhguru)

*****************************************************

… You think that the only way to move the world is through anger. Why? Why can’t you move them with love? Why can’t you move them with compassion?

Love is a quality. Love is not what you do. Love is what you are

If someone is in pain and it doesn’t hurt you at all, it means that you have left your humanity.
Jaggi Vasudev (Sadhguru)

Lasst uns unsere Menschlichkeit…

Chayei Sarah, and Reconciling Brothers

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     So, this week’s Torah portion is Parashat Chayei Sarah.  It means, literally, “the life of Sarah,” but starts off with her death.   This week’s parashah tells the famous story of the servant who finds a wife for his master’s son, by asking her to water his camels.  From there, we see a slightly less popular story, in which two brothers, once at odds, come together in peace, if not friendship, to bury their father.

   It reminds me of the ever popular story of Corazon Salvaje, now in yet another iteration of a telenovela based on the novel originally set in a French colony, moved to Vera Cruz for Mexican viewers.  The 1993 version of this soap opera tells a profound story, and feels like a last gasp of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. 

    But what about folks with no rich and powerful father…
