Monday, January 9, 2017

The Motivational Monday prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" 
Late actor Bob Denver   (known for playing Gilligan on the tv show Gilligan's Island  ), who would've celebrated his 82nd birthday today, once said "You know, I have no worst experiences." What do you think? When have you had to turn a potential "worst experience" into something positive?

No Worst Experience

Have I had a worst experience? I've had bad experiences, but have any of them actually been my worst experience? I'm still alive. I've only God knows how many more experiences before I step through death's door. Even through sometimes I think I've had "the worst experience of my life" or " the best experience of my life", the truth is I probably haven't. I won't know what experience was either the worst or best experience of my life until I've passed through the door separating matter and spirit. When I review my life after the separation of my body and soul then I will know which experience was my worst or my best.

“An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.” (Martin Buber)
What do you think about the expressiveness of an animal’s eyes, and did you ever have an animal companion whose eyes almost talked to you?

Animal Eyes

They look straight through you
into your soul,
so they see beyond the mask you wear;
they see your good,
your bad,
and your ugly side
while attempting to bring
out your best.

An Exercise in Humility. Write whatever this phrase inspires you to say?

An Exercise in Humility

Prayer
is an exercise in humility
when the soul kneels
before the Divine Essence
asking forgiveness.
