I don´t know if it is the best in me, but I pray for my dear friends who themselves or their relatives have to suffer and for those who have to face difficulties; recently for people to vote wholeheartedly; for healing; for kindness radiating, an order built on warmheartedness and Love – like a stone thrown into a still lake sets in motion rings of energy waves (a beautiful picture recently posted along with a Word for the Day). Today I found new strength to cultivate it even more. Thank you for this question, dear Gratefulness-team.

So many – people who are sick, close to me as well as people I do not know so much as well as fellow friends and people who suffer intensely due to the pandemic, who are fearful of losing their jobs or even how to find something to eat for their family. I try to reply through caring, calling them, donating money, be compassionate and helpful whenever I can. Recently, I had to decide against the wish of someone for a special kind of treatment where it was difficult to find clarity about what would be best for the one concerned and for the whole situation. After referring to several experienced and entrusted colleagues, I had to say no to her, which probably will be difficult to be processed. All my compassion is with this one, and still, I could not do other than refuse her desire for her own sake and safety and for the whole situation to be guarded well. So I will include this one into my prayers. This could have been me also in some respect related to a deep longing I carry with me , and may be, I have to accept a No also. If so, I will bow to it, as I know it would be well chosen and guarded from a perspective I cherish and appreciate fully. If so, I would kindly ask for prayers also, if possible.

to take a breath consciously and to center in loving and kind intention; to allow gratitude to be the inner place of speaking; to focus on which I honestly assume is the best for the other and all concerned in a given statement and to realize that in choosing this perspective, the best outcome of what is meant to be or is possible in compliance with His love may manifest through what is said. When this is done wholeheartedly, I would assume that whatever is the theme, it would turn out to be the best possible “next” which could appear for the moment being.

For friends and family. To wake up, still be able to prepare my cup of coffee in the morning, to open the computer and to share with you all here. For the food which is still available in abundance and in good quality. I Cherish the clean water. It is such a gift to just open the water tap and drinkable water appears! Since I had the opportunity to spend some time in the magnificence of the desert, the preciousness and gratitude for water, the essential need of every living being never left me. To cook for my friends is my pleasure especially in these days of scarcity of social contact and to share lunch or dinner with gratitude and to spend some joyful time together.

Love heals. I don´t know if this is a quote, but this I feel is one of the profound guidelines I am trying to cultivate in all my perspectives, my doing, work and approach to people as well as when dealing with things and emotions, too; like when having met a dear one this weekend, to trust and to be so grateful for her loving, kind nature and her profound knowledge to help me healing on a deep level; to allow everyone his pure happiness and actively decide for this perspective instead of clinging to may be jealousy or greed or anger; to choose Love over any negative emotion, knowing for sure it is possible to decide for it. Like Samuel mentioned already, we are able to decide for the attitude choosen towards every encounter, with an inner perspective of “Love heals” in the soul´s backpack, as often as I am able to. And while doing so, slowly, it is unfolding in me also, and joy.

As we are gifted today with beautiful sunshine, the sparkling of Light on the river flowing was capturing my eye and heart. I couldn´t resist and took a photo, which I just posted in the Lounge. This time of change, the magic of transformation of nature to change the variety of greenery of leaves of trees into breathtaking autumn-colors, of slowing down and the light shining on all this beauty, in itself an inherent promise and impulse for renewal and unfolding one day. I saw the wonder of hope in the Sparkling Light which shines on all which is, us all included.

I would like to post a photo related to the Daily Question about the wonders to be seen right now. The sparkling of the sunlight on the water, as if it is sending hints of our mystic existence arising from the wonder of His light shining on the everlasting flow of life in all its expressions, of the call and Grace to be able to transform underlying possible negative emotions, or just to become aware of His ever present Light and Love. I was so happy this moment was gifted to me, which I would like to share with you with a grateful heart. May you all have a beautiful weekend full of wonder, dear friends who come and visit here.
