In continuation of my Past, Present, Future meditations; I have decided to single out different elements to meditate on. Here are my quotes to meditate upon for the day:
The Past – Sorrow
“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
~~~~~~~
“Grieving is a necessary passage and a difficult transition to finally letting go of sorrow – it is not a permanent rest stop.”
~ AND ~
“When I pulled out sorrow’s shaft
I showed you the way.
It is you who must make the effort.
Existence is sorrow.
Understand, and go beyond sorrow.
This is the way of brightness.”

Religion4All is an idea: that every human being (no matter their race, religion, sexuality, social status, lifestyle, or any other possible factor) is LOVED by God; just … as … they are.
We all are loved by God, and NO religion or person has a monopoly on it. Every single person on this planet is loved equally by God … SO many are cut off from God because they are told they don’t belong. God loves everyone … we ALL are beautiful creations … we don’t need to cringe when we hear the words “God”, or “religion”, or their judgments … God LOVES us all!
There is no requirement to change in order to be LOVED by God, or to LOVE God. God is LOVE, and LOVE is God … period. There is no one who God loves more than anyone else … there are only those who choose to LOVE more … to love God more, and consequently then to love each other more. In doing so, we grow closer to God … and know God.
By opening our hearts, and minds to God (free of boundaries like religion, or social trends); by LOVING God … we are exactly where we are meant to be. If we maintain that openness, never allowing any person or event to make us close our hearts, we will be guided by God to be who we are meant to be.
In that space of openness we can then live a life of LOVE, and be guided to where we are meant to be … forever in LOVE.

[…] hold on to our past sorrows like a child seeking comfort from his blankey. Like Kahlil Gibran said (in my quote for meditation today, “Sorrow’s Shaft“), our greatest sorrows […]
