Today we celebrate 232 years of independence in America. It is a time for reflection on what is important in our lives -- the freedom to do and be what we wish, and to spend time with the ones we love. And to honor those who have helped to give us and keep that freedom.
We celebrate the gifts that freedom brings to us. And give thanks for that which was penned so eloquently over two centuries ago by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence.
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
The internet blesses us with easy access to so many gifted writers that bestow their loving and caring thoughts through their blogs, emails and other mediums. All of us are conduits for grace, for Spirit.
One of my favorite lightbearers and authors, Kate Nowak, (www.bettertobless.com) sent a beautiful message today that included this thought.
"Imagine a world where everyone is blessed by the presence of everyone else. Just imagine how beautiful such a world would be."
The freedom to create our own realities is what Spirit gifts to each one of us. This is the freedom of our imaginations, our thoughts. And another of my favorite lightbearers/authors has written about this subject. Adrian Cooper continues to bless us with his book, "Our Ultimate Reality" (www.ourultimatereality.com).
Blessings to you and your families and friends on this Fourth of July. May love, peace, happiness and joy fill and surround you all.
