As I have often said in my blogs, the animals show us the way!
Hug your friends today.
Tomorrow, you may not have the chance.
A friend of ours left the Earth while out watering her plants.
One day a phone call, the next day a funeral.
It feels like this passing is something that is almost communal.
So many people are leaving right now to work with us from the other side.
I hope my friend, will come back to me, and be my light and guide.
Blessings,
Judy
Replace Anger with Tolerance - The sixth chapter of the Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life is considered to be a special magical precept from Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, for replacing anger with tolerance. The essence is: Why get upset if you can do something about something? And if you can't do anything about it, then why get upset? -Robert Thurman, “Rising to the Challenge: Cool Heroism”
I see many people work themselves into a mass of anger over a situation which they may have not created, and which they cannot control. I realize that often the anger is about the injustice of a situation, or, I should say, the perceived injustice in the situation.
Often too, the anger is about not tolerating anything that seems to be a compromise. In this case, the ego is so strong that everything must be either the person’s way, or they erupt in anger.
If we avoid getting upset, often we can see a different way to resolve our feelings because we can see a solution for the situation. It is hard to think outside the box if we are sitting in the box and stewing about it.

I could not sleep last night, and tossed and turned. As I finally drifted off into that zone of haziness, I heard a noise. I looked around and I was standing in a field and a very large, white, winged horse was standing there, pawing at the ground. She said, “Come fly with me.”
I wondered how I would sit on her back. As it turns out, I did not need to worry. I grabbed her mane, and she lifted us both off the ground, and then, magically, I was on her back, behind her magnificent wings. The air felt cool around me, but I felt warm. It felt like we flew for a long time, and then we landed in a large garden, behind what looked like a Labradorite castle. My traveling companion shifted me to the ground, and walked over to an alcove, and said, “I have brought the one requested.”
My first thought that something really weird was going on. And my second thought was that this would make a great story. I wondered what would happen next.
A very tall woman wearing some hat that looked like a wizard’s hat, wrapped with veils, stood up and walked towards me. She said, “I have a story to tell you about who you really are.”
“Darina who brought you here, has been guarding you all of your life, and has kept you out of trouble. Now, we need you to understand.”
At this point, I thought things were quite surreal. As The Lady, for that seemed to be her name, kept talking, I could not hold the thoughts. The great horse, Darina, came over and nudged me, and I woke up.
Upon waking, I realized that since I was in that dreamy, hazy state, and now, that about five hours had passed. And, I could not recall anything that the tall lady had said except the very beginning of the conversation. The dream felt real. I felt like I had been riding. And, I was very tired.
When I am totally rested, I will call the horse and see if we can go back to this place. I think it will be a great adventure!
Many blessings,
Judy
