It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly
There is a story in Indian mythology. After God created the world, God wanted to have a place of rest where no one would disturb him. God asked the celestial sage Narada (an angel) for advice. Narada suggested heaven. God said, “The human beings I created are so intelligent, they will find a way to come to heaven.” Then Narada suggested the moon. “The moon is too close” God said, “They will easily come to the moon.” Narada started thinking again as to what would be a really good place. Then God announced that he would live in the heart of each and every person and that way they would never be able to find him.
Narada was surprised. If moon was close then why did God want to be in the hearts of people where he would be much closer? But there was the trick. People have forgotten God’s presence within them. They have forgotten that God is with them all the time, watching them. They are searching for him outside. Looking at a flower, they see only a flower but not God’s beauty in it. Looking at a fruit, they fail to realize it is God’s fruit.
You are never alone. One who has created you is hiding within you and looking at you. Are you looking back at him? Prayer and meditation help us to live in the presence of God. Experience the presence of God in every breath.
