Bamboo Parable & Foto Motage


Dear Family of Light

Some thoughts to remember and words to remind u.

The time is still, the sun is setting, the moon is coming out. All is a cycle spinning round.
We are souls trapped in time, but can step out-- if u understand the soul.

A star is faster than anything material...Be a star of peace out of time into a land of silence and purity --this trip is worth a thousand smiles.

Blessings from the heart,
Lucho



Patience
Patience is a virtue and a power too. Patience tells us that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and that we get over there one step at a time. Patience teaches us not to rush. Knowing that there is a reason and a season for everything it enables us to smile at the challenges, realizing that there is an answer to every problem. And, even though we cannot see it, yet there is awareness that within every crisis lies an opportunity.

An Interesting Anecdote! Please Read On!


One day I decided to quit...


One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
'God', I said. 'Can you give me one good reason not to quit?'
His answer surprised me...
'Look around', He said. 'Do you see the fern and the bamboo?'
'Yes', I replied.
When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
'In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But
I would not quit. In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from
The bamboo seed. 'I would not quit.' He said. 'Then in the fifth year
A tiny sprout emerged from the earth.

Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But
Just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.

It had spent the five years growing roots.

Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I
Would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.'

He said to me. 'Did you know, my child, that all this time you have
Been struggling, you have actually been growing roots.'

'I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. ' Don't
Compare yourself to others ..' He said. ' The bamboo had a different
Purpose than the fern ... Yet, they both make the forest beautiful.'

Your time will come, ' God said to me. ' You will rise high! ' How
High should I rise?' I asked.

How high will the bamboo rise?' He asked in return.

'As high as it can? ' I questioned.

' Yes. ' He said, 'Give me glory by rising as high as you can. '

I left the forest and bring back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

He will never give up on you.

Never regret a day in your life.

Good days give you happiness

Bad days give you experiences;

Both are essential to life.

A happy and meaningful life requires our continuous input and
Creativity. It does not happen by chance. It happens because of our
Choices and actions. And each day we are given new opportunities to
Choose and act and, in doing so, we create our own unique journey.'
Keep going...

Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going!
"Bridging Distances, Touching Lives & Strengthening Relationships with God" is all what we do!? ?

Enjoy Some Kogis, Some Sedona and Something....

It is useful to try everything in practise anyway and I like that here it's always possible to find something new. :)
