Let the year, 2009 be a NEW YEAR TO ALL OF US!
Why NEW YEAR?
Will I be a NEW Person in 2009?
Will the members of my family be NEW?
Will the members of my community be in anyway different?
Will my friends be NEW?
Will my life-situations be NEW in 2009?
************************
Well, my life-situations may not change in 2009...
I may catch myself behaving the same old way in the new year...
My family members may not become all of a sudden new...
Members of my community may not behave in any way new... My friends may not have new faces in 2009... My fortunes may not change in the new year... ================== But, ... My out look on life can change for the better...
It is possible for me to change my attitudes in a life-affirming way...
My attitudes to the members of my family and friends can change for the better...
The way I see them can change in a radical manner... The way I think and reason can change in a life- affirming way... If I can say "no" to my life-denying passions and clingings, then there is the possibility that everything becomes bathed in the sunshine of new life and loving relationships...It is not the world that has to change;
but the world in me that has to change...
If that happens, then,
the divine light will shine on everything,
on every event, and on every person! ***********************
Shall we take the "risk"
of allowing the all-loving God
to break into us
with His compassionate face in 2009.
*********************** May all of us see a "New Heaven and a New earth" in 2009!
