SEEING THE NAKED TRUTH THRU NEW, LOVING EYES – “How is it that two people can observe the same difficult situation, but one person is upset about it, and other isn’t?” “If each morning we ask the Creator to allow us to see with His understanding and with His love, we will open a new way of ‘seeing’. This eye of the heart is a free gift given to us if we ask for it in prayer each day.” (White Bison 2-13-10)
“I wanted to feel, smell, hear and see, but not see with my eyes and my mind only. I wanted to see with CANTE ISTA – the eye of the heart.”
– Lame Deer (1900 – 1976) Sioux, Native American holy man

The Naked And The Nude
by Robert Graves
Lovers without reproach will gaze
On bodies naked and ablaze;
The Hippocratic eye will see
In nakedness, anatomy;
And naked shines the Goddess when
She mounts her lion among men.
The nude are bold, the nude are sly
To hold each treasonable eye.
While draping by a showman’s trick
Their dishabille in rhetoric,
They grin a mock-religious grin
Of scorn at those of naked skin.
The naked, therefore, who compete
Against the nude may know defeat;
Yet when they both together tread
The briary pastures of the dead,
By Gorgons with long whips pursued,
How naked go the sometimes nude!
Peace of mind! (2)
recently I took a family member out to practice their driving and I didn’t allow the 1000 other excuses that popped into my head to get into the way. That was a rewarding experience.
I go thru phases. Sometimes if I click on the USFZ meditation for the day I find myself much refreshed. Total silence is a bit trickier but some of the meditations have clues on how to stay in a deep trance like state. I don’t hear my inner voice per say but answers seem to bubble up that feel like the right thing to do at the end of session.
Its hard for me too i just want to get up and go. However
Even if i tell myself to just talk to God just for a minute
it helps
It is hard for me to meditate. It is hard for me to just be still for any period of time. I find that I am sometimes running from some truth I do not want to hear – some reality that simply is.
