The Year 2009
Posted December 31, 2008 by Bodhi

The earth has turned again in a full circle around the sun ushering a New Year for all inhabitants of the Earth- human and animal and plant, seen and the unseen, sentient, and inorganic systems.

In space-time this brings us again into the continuing unfolding of our history and the flowering of what it means to be human. The year brings with it all the magic and the possibilities, all the joys and pains, all the intricate experience of being alive.

There are challenges that must be faced and circumstances that must be overcome and through it all we must use wisely our power of choice. Choose therefore life over death, justice over inequality, love over hatred, good over evil and light over darkness and fight for all these things as if it is already our last battle and our last stance before death overtakes...then we will live a life fully lived and really make the world a better place. :wink:

Points to Ponder for the New Year
Posted December 28, 2008 by Bodhi
Poi nts for Reflection for the Coming New Year As the year comes to a close and the New Year approaches, it is refreshing to have a few silent moments of reflection. With all the stress and rush of the holiday season, just find a few minutes to count all your blessings for the year 2008. If you are still alive now, then you are lucky than your few friends and acquaintances who have not made it alive in 2008. If you have never met an accident, then you are fortunate than the thousands who have been through an accident this year. If you are still healthy and breathing, then life has been good to you than the millions suffering sickness and disease and hunger and war. Think of all the things you have accomplished this year. The gift of life and health has made it possible for you to work and achieve things of beauty and creativity this year. Even through the problems and difficulties, surely you have made something out of nothing. That is the beauty of being alive. Think of all the people you touched, the friendships, the smiles, the connection that you have made. These things make life all worthwhile. Think of your work. What do you really love to do? What are the things that you missed doing that you would like to do for the coming year? Think of the weaknesses and blocks that hindered your development this year and how would you be able to resolve them so that you will move on free and happy and expectant of good things to come. Think of your dreams and visions---if you have only one year to live for 2009, what would you really do. Here’s to a full and beautiful life for the year 2009! :smile:
