I've got a secret

Greetings y'all :

A-Rob and I had good days. Not perfect but good. We'll take that. I confess he wanted to walk to school, about two miles, but I blew it by dragging my heals. Then I was upset with myself, silly ol papa bear. But we have to remember not to feed the monster , who is an omnivore.

The monster grows and feeds on anger used negatively, impatience, fear , frustration, aggression , selfishness, self loathing, hate, revenge, retaliation, etc... Every time we yell at someone , seek revenge, wish harm, speak ill or think ill of others we've invited the monster to inhabit a larger portion of our lives. Sounds depressing huh? Why bother trying to defeat the monster huh? The monster can huge for some, is easily fed, and we are wee tiny humans. Alas tis useless to try, tis easier to acquiesce. That is proven by spending an hour watching tv or reading the paper or especially by going online to hear/ read vitriolic rants spewed at others.

Now here's a secret, usually I charge $99 for an all day Mindfulness Training but I'm giving it away today , but for a limited time. This one little secret is mind blowing in its simplicity, beauty and obviousness ! It's as easy as eating pie! Now who doesn't like pie? I love pie ! The secret is ........... you!

Yes folks I'm quite serious. We aren't battling the monster we are battling ourselves. But we need merely stay mindful of each moment, each action, each thought to watch the monster fade. It's always lurking in each of us. Yet if we stay present we shall build ourselves and feed our souls growing our light while subconsciously starving and sending the monster deeper into the darkness. Act with non malfeasance and see what happens. It's takes awhile but you'll discover a quieter mind which makes for a happier brain and more gentle soul.

Folks we are all interconnected. Others see our behavior and are affected by it. We have untold power to help or harm. In my humble opinion the creator put us here as helpers. With that said I'll enjoy my cuppa and prepare for another day of learning from my students, co- workers, friends, strangers, and of course A-Rob. He teaches me more than anyone can imagine.

Thanks for reading again folks .
