Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hello Everyone,I wanted to share with you the latest Ramble I posted. If you have not seen the video, The Gentle Art of Blessings, here is the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6CL5J_4u1Y(I have a hard enough time getting pictures in these postings, I'm not sure why I can't link the video...)Much Metta,ChrisA Ramble on Blessings>I would like to share with you something that recently happened to me that reminded me of the importance of sharing Blessings as part of our daily lives. Last month, I was traveling out in the upper Midwest and the timing was perfect to schedule the Humanity Healing Foundation's first official meeting of the Board of Directors since our legal incorporation and allow some of us to meet face to face. I found myself in a quintessential small-town in America's heartland with the glory of the Fall colors making the landscape even more beautiful. I still had time before the day's meeting, so I decided to enjoy the brisk, sunny morning and take a walk to explore the center of the town. I was not the only one so inclined and I saw a couple up ahead of me enjoying window shopping in the myriad stores along Main Street. As I looked on, a person stepped out from an alcove and approached them. They shied away, increasing their pace to put distance between them and the interloper. She was a small woman and looked to be in her 60's, although it was hard to tell because it was obvious that life had been hard on her. Her clothes were a hodgepodge of different garments and I assumed that she was homeless and asking for money. I fished around in my pocket for some cash,thinking I would get her something to eat. But she took me by surprise, though, because when I reached her, she did not ask for money or help. She asked if she could say a prayer for me. She took my hand and prayed for my health and my happiness. She asked the Angels to watchover me as I traveled and keep me safe from harm. She Blessed me with her Love and Compassion. When she was finished, she released my hand and turned to go. I thanked her and asked if I could give her my Blessing in return. It was obvious by her surprise and small-voiced "Please" that no one had ever offered to share back the gift she freely gave to others. I placed my hands on her shoulders and opened my heart to her. A Blessing is sincere, heart-felt Call for another's well-being. It is a Prayer born of Compassion and Love. It is an Intention traveling from the connection that joins us and is sent out into the Universe. We give of ourselves and send our energy out for another's greatest good. When I was done, there were tears in both our eyes. I kissed her forehead and we hugged. Together we had shared something very special and very profound: two strangers, rediscovering and acknowledging the bond of our shared humanity, celebrating the joy that comes from sharing Love freely between two Souls. I will never forget that moment. The purpose of this Ramble is to share with you something I was reminded of as I walked away from that dear lady: sometimes the smallest act of kindness we offer can mean the world to another. Each individual holds the power to change the world. It just takes giving of yourself. Be free with your Blessings. They are more powerful than your realize. I would like to re-share with you a video Liane and I made several months ago. It is called The Gentle Art of Blessings and I offer it to you from my heart and with my Blessing.Much Metta,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 metta :-) this is a beautiful post, and I thank you for sharing this wonderful experience. thank you for sharing this video link too... it seemed to strike that just " perfect note " for me today, and is what I needed. I am new to the group, but so wanted to share this thought that occured to me today, as I expectantly looked through the posts, much like a child anticipating the wonderful gifts that would be waiting beneath the Christmas tree early Christmas morning, and knowing without a single doubt that they would be there. Logging onto this group is like a wonderful treasure hunt, of which I am expectant to find some wonderful and priceless jewel, and just the perfect jewel to complete what I was in need of to balance out my day, regardless of what kind of day it might have been, sometimes the posts act simply as reminders of things that are known, but need to be kept in my uppermost thoughts and not allowed to be swept into the background by a full or hurried day, and other times a wonderful and new idea or lesson to add upon the last, as a wonderful continuence in my growing and learning or experiences in life... and still there are some that are answers that I may share with dear friends in need of whom I was wishing to help... and sometimes.... just that sweet and perfect smile, in that the greatest secrets and answers to all things are so very profoundly and purely simple.. and that it is, in this, so very beautiful. Thank you for that perfect smile for today. Love and blessings to you, cyndi --- In , " " <cbaldwinbuck@...> wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > I wanted to share with you the latest Ramble I posted.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Hello My heart overflows with gratitude, for reminder of this lovely video and each time I watch, the tears stream down my cheeks. This is certainly not " ramble " but words full of sacred energies so vital for our lives, our every breath and intention, and the rebirth of a new world so ready to be born in this now. Thank you for the gorgeous story of the woman in the partk, and the reminders that indeed it is the " little " things that change the world. My heart is full of love and appreciation for all the blessings shared here at HH, and my love and prayers continues to be sent for you and Liane, and any and all those meeting together for even many more good things in store at HH to grow and bless all humanity. Healing can be painful, and challenges us to wait for the " outcome " , but knowing there are hearts in the universe who carry these blessings to share with others gives me the courage to allow the fullness of healing to manifest towards it's goals. It is the lullaby of Winter (a song I received in a dream) that says " go to sleep, my baby " to all the things that do not work, and " hello " to more effective ways of BE-ing. All my brothers and sisters here, yes, watch that sweet video again, and together we bless, and the vibration of much pain is changed...
