new arrival!
Tracy Oldfield
A quick note to announce the safe arrival of Madeline Eowyn, at
20.02 yesterday (30/9, just in time for September) She was born
at home, weighing in at 8lb 9oz. We're all doing well, feeding OK
and stuff, no signs of jaundice too :-)
Enough for now, need food!!
Love
Tracy

A Letter from His Holiness, XIVth Dalai Lama 12
September
01
Dear friends around the world;
The events of this day cause every thinking
person to stop their
daily lives, whatever is going on in them, and to
ponder deeply the larger
questions of life. We search again for not only the
meaning of life, but the
purpose of our individual and collective experience as
we have created
it-and we look earnestly for ways in which we might
recreate ourselves anew
as a human species, so that we will never treat each
other this way again.
The hour has come for us to demonstrate at the
highest level our most
extraordinary thought about Who We Really Are.
There are two possible responses to what has
occurred today.
The first comes from love, the second from fear.
If we come from fear we may panic and do
things-as individuals and as
nations-that could only cause further damage. If we
come from love we will
find refuge and strength, even as we provide it to
others.
This is the moment of your ministry. This is
the time of teaching.
What you teach at this time, through your every word
and action right now,
will remain as indelible lessons in the hearts and
minds of those
whose lives you touch, both now, and for years to
come.
We will set the course for tomorrow, today. At
this hour.
In this moment. Let us seek not to pinpoint blame,
but to pinpoint cause.
Unless we take this time to look at the cause
of our experience, we
will never remove ourselves from the experiences it
creates.
Instead, we will forever live in fear of retribution
from those within the
human family
who feel aggrieved, and, likewise, seek retribution
from them.
To us the reasons are clear. We have not
learned the most basic human
lessons.
We have not remembered the most basic human truths.
We have not understood the most basic spiritual
wisdom.
In short, we have not been listening to God, and
because we have not,
we watch ourselves do ungodly things.
The message we hear from all sources of truth
is clear: We are all
one.
That is a message the human race has largely
ignored. Forgetting
this truth is the only cause of hatred and war, and
the way to remember is
simple:
Love, this and every moment.
If we could love even those who have attacked
us, and seek to
understand why they have done so, what then would be
our response? Yet if we
meet negativity with negativity,
rage with rage, attack with attack, what then will be
the outcome?
These are the questions that are placed before
the human race today.
They are questions that we have failed to answer for
thousands of years.
Failure to answer them now could eliminate the need to
answer them at all.
If we want the beauty of the world that we have
co-created to be
experienced by our children and our children's
children, we will have to
become spiritual activists right here, right now, and
cause that to happen.
We must choose to be at cause in the matter.
So, talk with God today. Ask God for help, for
counsel and advice,
for insight and for strength and for inner peace and
for deep wisdom.
Ask God on this day to show us how to show up in the
world in away that will
cause the world itself to change. And join all those
people around the world
who are praying right now, adding your Light to the
Light that dispels all
fear.
That is the challenge that is placed before
every thinking person
today.
Today the human soul asks the question: What
can I do to preserve the
beauty and the wonder of our world and to eliminate
the anger and hatred and
the disparity that inevitably causes it - in that part
of the world which I
touch?
Please seek to answer that question today, with
all the magnificence
that is You. What can you do TODAY...this very moment?
A central teaching in most spiritual traditions
is: What you wish to
experience,
provide for another.
Look to see, now, what it is you wish to
experience-in your own life,
and in the world. Then see if there is another for
whom you maybe the source
of that. If you wish to experience peace, provide
peace for another.
If you wish to know that you are safe, cause
another to know that
they are safe.
If you wish to better understand seemingly
incomprehensible things,
help another to better understand.
If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger,
seek to heal the
sadness
or anger of another.
Those others are waiting for you now. They are
looking to you for
guidance, for help, for courage, for strength, for
understanding, and for
assurance at this hour. Most of all, they are looking
to you for love.
My religion is very simple. My religion is
kindness.
Dalai Lama
