The Clear and Simple Way

I don't know if every country sets aside a day to honor mothers. The USA does. I think it is not about spending a lot of money, more about remembering our mothers with the our hearts. So easy to get separated from our hearts in the harshness of the world. And the world is harsh, is it not? So much violence on every news channel, TV programs, the voices of the radio, in our own voices far too often. It takes a concerted effort to remain in the world but not of the world. Anyway, I have just published the Message for May, Mother's Day Gratitude, and you can read it by clicking it on the navigation bar. And as a spiritual exercise, why not remember to be aware and listen for any violence in your own voice. Think it is never there? Listen carefully. Our spiritual life ought to be about doing everything possible to be awake and aware in a sleeping world.
