Give Us This Day ?

 GIVE US TODAY OUR DAILY BREAD—

I apologize

Somehow  in the course of human events I haven’t carved out the hour or so it usually takes to write out  thoughts about peace and joy.  There are a thousand good reasons for this, however, who really cares?  I mean. Some of the folks who read this  care about my well-being and I am not nearly grateful enough  for that.  The bottom line is I’ve been looking for the holy grail lately.  I’ve been looking for the few paragraphs and examples that. Can smooth the paths on what has been a bumpy road for a lot ofolks for several months.  So now that I’ve. Built a six lane superhighway to hell... 

You see I’ve forgotten one of the very important ideas I usually live by..... 

See the title.   I recently saw and shared a facebook post that  illustrated how every major spiritual theory sometimes called faiths  or religions. Has the golden rule.  well. Seeking peace and joy certainly. Means  appreciating that to. A great degree.  In addition, I Peace and joy is an active process that. Is sought daily in. One’s thoughts and in one’s actions and my actions haven’t  reflected something I think is very powerful.  

Peace and Joy happens daily.  so what is one day of peace worth?

These days a lot and if we stack them back to back for a while we have a joyful life and if we stack a whole bunch of peaceful and joyful  days and hours and stuff together it’s  very impressive. 

If  one million people  would spend. 1 hour  thinking and acting toward peace and joy that would. Be 114 days worth of peace.  Now if everyone in america spent one  hour seeking peace and joy it would be over 103  years worth of peace and if we did this once a week for a year it would be some 5,366 years worth.  

so starting  today I’m. Putting my hour in  every day (which is more than one per week).  I’m not sure the. Hour will be 60 consecutive minutes, however  it will be the full 60.   

also I will dedicate my entire body to it including the  60,000 miles of blood vessels in my body just like yours and  of course I will forgive the  30,000 to 40,000 skin cells that float off into  space every minute (or hour I lose track after 16).  

To summarize Peace and Joy seeking is a daily bread sort of thing and if we can do it Together  we can change the attitude In the world significantly—-just look at the numbers—

See you tomorrow
