Sitting with you now
I feel your heart’s so sweet song.
Connection forged.

One of the first things I learned in my college physiology class oh so many years ago: A single living cell seeks equilibrium and a portion of that equilibrium requires a level of vulnerability in which the membrane of the cell has a permeability which allows the exchange of materials and information. On the physical level I learned about the exchange of sodium and potassium through the cell membrane, along with the exchange of other material and information. When a cell stops sending and receiving information and material, what occurs is called rigor mortis – or death.
Humans form reciprocal relationships with their world – and with the formation of ‘relationship’ the human being can come to a place of comfort and can then be fully alive. It takes vulnerability to create connection. We need to drop our protective walls a bit to let the other into our space (whether physical or emotional).
Life thrives on connection and inclusion.
Death occurs with exclusion.
With gratitude, feeling connection now with my family; two-legged, four-legged, creepy crawlies, winged ones, standing tall ones and swimming through the water ones.

Sky-Father, your solstice sun feeds me – may I share that food with all.

JUNE 19 2018 Kindness, Compassion, Safety, Food and Water



💚 🗝 💚 🗝 💚 🗝
Brother, sister, child –
When you eat, my own hunger
Is full satisfied.
💚 🗝 💚 🗝 💚 🗝 

So many kinds of hunger assail on this earth walk. The hunger for kindness and compassion are the on the pinnacle of need, for these needs satisfied can move us from species survival to fully human. However, we must not leave out the most basic needs which include: safe place to lay one’s head at night for rest, and also food and water in the belly.

🗝

Here is truth: When we offer to ‘the other’ kindness, compassion, safety, food and water – we feed ourselves also.   Until we understand this truth, we ourselves will always be afraid and suffer lack – irrespective of the money in our personal coffers.

“….in meeting the man with a liberal heart, tranquility of soul shall be thine. For while he doth give to another his dole, the liberal man himself doth feel the shame of the other, his language and tone are delicious; the kindnesses done thee he ne'er will recall, to oblivion they all are consigned.”
Shekel Hakodesh (The Holy Shekel) 
The metrical work of Joseph Kimchi 
(by Kimḥi, Joseph, 1105?-1170?; Gollancz, Hermann, 1852-1930, editor and translator)
