Here’s something I’ve noticed. Uncle Arnand loves and  respects his mother. His mother, you remember, is Prema. He takes care of Prema in every way, and he likes her and enjoys her and he respects her. He always listens intently when she speaks. Naturally, when she arrives or leaves, he gives her a kiss. I think all of Prema’s children regard her highly.

This photo says it all. This title, Perfect Stillness, says it all. What more needs to be said? (more…)

Two Heavensubscribers who are quite new have taken to Heavenletters like birds to the sky.  These two gentlemen, one from India and one from Angola, soar with their hearts as God invites us to do.

There are many many comments on the forum that reflect what we could call a Golden Age of Love.  We live in a beautiful Heavenletter world where such interaction takes place so naturally.

When I read the comments on the forum, I cannot believe that there are wars, for, here, on the forum and on this blog, there is sanctuary of love, and there is peace. (more…)

In an earlier blog, Pitta from Italy wrote that she would always remember what God said at the Godwriting™ Workshop in Turin, Italy. Pitta was referring to the Godwriting™ that came to me when we were all Godwriting™ at the workshop in September of 2009.

That was a wonderful statement for Pitta to make, and I appreciated it so much. I had forgotten what God said, and I wasn’t sure I had that Godwriting™ anywhere where I could ever find it.  At workshops, I have been writing in a notebook, and, sad to say, I couldn’t even be sure that I had typed it up.

The thief was not accused. He was not even labelled as a thief.  With everyone’s eyes on him, one by one, each member of the tribe told the person in the center what they liked about him. There were not punishments or tut-tutting. There were not courts of law pronouncing judgments. This was a practice of love.  (more…)

Yesterday a dear friend took me to lunch. During our conversation, my friend said, “Do you know what I want most of all?” (more…)

Over one billion Muslims and non-Muslims all over the world celebrate Ramadan.  They fast daily, eating nothing, drinking nothing every day for one month until sunset. There is no smoking, no gum-chewing. The fasting is for purification and devotion and love and gratitude for blessings from Allah (God.) (more…)

I may have told you this before. As you walk down the streets of Chicago, you will see bowls of water set out in front of stores. No dog will go thirsty. Furthermore, some stores also put out a second bowl filled with dog biscuits, courtesy of love. This warms my heart. Isn’t this how life should be?

How did God ever dream of dogs to teach us love? (more…)

When the day’s Heavenletter™ and Eknath Easwaran’s Thought for the Day coincide, Bernie Siegel loves the coincidence and sends me the Thought for the Day. On July 18, Bernie sent me the following.  I wouldn’t have missed this one for anything. (more…)
