A day to light our lives that we may strive to build a world where life like this is the norm... Why not?

Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu[1] (pronounced [aɡˈnɛs ˈɡɔndʒa bɔjaˈdʒiu]), was a Roman Catholic nun of Albanian[2][3] ethnicity and Indian citizenship,[4] who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, in 1950. For over 45 years, she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries. Following her death, she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.[5][6]
Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity at the time of her death had 610 missions in 123 countries including hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis, soup kitchens, children's and family counselling programmes, orphanages and schools. She received numerous awards including the Indian government's Bharat Ratna in 1980 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, but was also widely criticized for defects in her charity work.[7]

Music, dance, fire and chat combined with communal bathing in volcanically warmed rock pools achieved a most ambient after glow of all who attended.
Thanks to all.

The Value of Friendship
Friendship affords us the space to share without fear,
To relax, laugh and enjoy in a space of open love,
We can feel safe for trust is a given and in that air we can expand on all that is good in our hearts,
We can reflect on the qualities of others in an awareness that these are our gifts that we share in and may unselfishly spread to those who may not yet hold a "special" place in
our hearts.
Rejoicing and comforting with others whom the bonds of love are strong help us widen our circle of warmth that it may radiate to all who are not presently aware of the light that dwells in all and that is brought out when we communicate with the objective of proliferating the vibrations of compassion and brotherhood.
In deep gratitude, accept the gift of friendship and move always to the expansion of its expirience.
Friendship is a tool of gold,
Unconditional love of all is a priceless Gem.
Let the day have friendly you!

This body of ours is but a tool.
It serves our mind by pointing out the pain, fear,
hunger,illness, death and a myriad of other hells that result from being attached to the material illusions that the bodies senses perceive.
It teaches us the folly of the egos logic, the lies of its teachings which all end in death and decay.
The body gives us the ultimate lesson that following the defensiveness/offensiveness that stems from identifying ourselves with the physical will lead us finally to the a certain death and loss of all we'd strived in vain to achieve.
It's plain to see that belief in "I am this body" is certainly a course thats graduation is a fearful prospect which taints all ephemeral pleasures that we may or may not expirience in our state of unconscious dreaming we now call life.
It's time to face the truth of our destiny should we continue to place value in the maintenance of the egos demands.
When we make choices from our hearts, we start to see that the inner world is one of infinite and inexaustable bliss.
Give up the ways that have always lead to dissatisfaction and make a turn towards the god that lies with in.
What have you got to lose that you won't lose anyway?
Heaven awaits.

How do we attain these gifts?
They are all states of mind, are they not?
We cannot judge from an external point, we may look at someone's situation as impoverished yet they feel gratitude for compared to their neighbour they are blessed.
What makes one joyous may cause another to cringe.
So we must find the answers within, we must cultivate our minds so these seeds which lie in our hearts may sprout and give fruit to these most divine experiences.
The answers are all within.
This means meditation, simple techniques by which we practice to see beyond the business of the mind and ego.
As we go into meditation love is rediscovered, peace is renewed, joy revitalized, freedom revisited, abundance re-inherited, we feel re-harmonized, we return to our natural freedom, happiness is re instated and the reunion becomes complete.
We awake from the dream and realize we never really lost any of our birthrights, we had just dozed of into a slumber filled with insane fantasies.
Meditation is the answer.
What ever form you choose, cultivate awareness, this is meditation.

Takaharu view
How can that be real?
Everything can be viewed from another angle, there can be no constant truth. Each one has their own vision. Communication is impossible, peace will always beyond our grasp as our reality shifts and swirls with our position with this uncertain space.
Unless we give up our belief in our tiny perceptions and step back, let go and realize we cannot capture the infinite with our limited senses we' ll never know the joy of the unchanging truth.
Give up your values, beliefs and images and dive into the open sky, fly into the void and feel the freedom that lies beyond!
