Rambling Thoughts
I ran across the following thoughts from great minds and souls that have come and gone before us. I am often deeply touched by the constancy of truth and enlightenment that continually flows and courses through all ages of time. Sometimes I think I have come up with something so enlightened, and then God in His grace shows me that he has given the same enlightenment to numerous souls from the beginning. I would like to share some of my recent reminders.

Who Stole One of my Bread Sticks?
Recently, while having lunch with my daughter at a local restaurant, a family sat down several tables away. It appeared to be a three-generation family as there were grandparents, parents and children. The family had filled their plates and settled at their table, and the older child, a boy, about 50-75 lbs. overweight, approximately 12 years of age, left the table to go to the restroom. His return to the table caught my attention because, as he got within 15-20 feet of his table he suddenly came unglued.
The Automobile Junk Yard
In my teens, on many occasions I would go to the auto junk yard to get parts for various cars I owned. On one such occasion I went to a yard that I had never been to before.
I explained to the man at the desk what I needed and he pointed to a pole with a scrap of yellow cloth, way out at the back of the lot. He told me to head out to the pole and a yard mechanic would meet me there to remove the part I needed from the wrecked car.
Our Bridges
We all have bridges in our lives. Over our lifetimes, beginning as little children, we built bridges. At the same time, people, events and circumstances built bridges to us.
As you are reading this, pause for a moment and look inward and observe the many bridges that connect you with the “external” world. The picture below may help to visualize the many types of bridges that are possible.
Letting Go - Simplicity Vs. Complexity
Many of us approach our lives as though we need to make better things happen. We think we need to change the negatives of the past to positives in the future. Our memories tell us that we need to do something about it.
The Power Of Thought - Part One
The power of thought is independent of our power of will. We do not create thought; we choose thought. We have the power–through free will Thought–to choose any thought, with any content. Yet, we do not have the power to choose the content, which includes the quality, or the effect. As well, neither can we change the power of the thought/s we choose.
What Do We Mean By Low, Normal, and High "Life-Quality" Lives
It is important to address in this article what we mean by low, normal,
and high, life-quality lives. What we "see" from within Health
Realization as the single determinant of the quality of our lives is
happiness. To what degree we experience happiness in our lives, we
experience a corresponding quality of life. Our happiness is measurable
one-to-one to the quality of thinking we have.
