Inspiration

I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.

Louisa May Alcott

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

Inspiration: The Rainbow and the Storm

The Philosopher’s Corner

Have you been a rainbow in someone else’s storm today? Have you charted a course to prevail through rough seas?

These are questions we are posed with in the Outbreak of this pandemic. But this is also a perfect opportunity to reflect on what is, so that we can move towards where we want to be. Not that progression has to be the status quo of what has clearly not worked for us as a species, but that we can reconnect with the values that we hold dear, and learn ecological ways to interact with the environment and each other during this unprecedented time of inner growth potential.

Meditate. Find your direction through the rough seas. Be a rainbow in someone else’s life. Even if it is over video phone, make someone else’s day a little more cheerful, and I guarantee you, the world will be a little more bright as the rainbow of life, light, and happiness shines through the rough storm present.

Prayers and blessings to all of you. Don’t forget to…

Believe… Achieve… Advance Confidently in the Direction of Your Dreams!

  2. joseph elon lillie – I am a full-time pastor and a dad. In my sojourn here I have learned that the two constants in the world are God and change. When it comes to changes, some are good, others…not so much. When it comes to God, well, He is all good.

    I am finding this a powerful time of introspection and reorientation. I am a bit afraid for it to end because I do not want to go back to the status quo.
