Dear People Whom God Loves,
Please relect on the following quotation. The quotes are found in the book Prayerfulness by Robert J. Wicks. They are on page 64
It is a response by a Vietnamese monk to this question: “Why do you meditate?”
He answers in almost perfect English, “I meditate to be happy. When I am in the present moment, I am happy. If I think on the past, then I am often sorry. If I think about the future, I often worry. So then I am often sorry, worry, sorry, worry, sorry, worry. But when I meditate, I am in the present, and I am happy.”
The second quote is from Eckhart Tolle. “Stress is by being ‘here’ wanting to be ‘there’ or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It is a split that tears you apart inside.”
At present we offer meditation opportunities. We will be expanding these opportunities in the coming months.
Don’t let the word “meditation” scare you. Meditation grows within us gradually. The only requirement is that you are a human being. It is for everyone. Please don’t think that it is for “special” people. It is for ordinary people.
These opportunities are free. I invite you to call Lindsay Lopez for more information. Her phone number is 651-292-1913.
Being happy does not mean that we will not have pain, sadness, and the troubles of life. We will still have them, but it will be different.
Smile, God Loves You,
Father Clay
