There is much that has been said about the sun and the moon influencing aspects of your life. Everything aspects everything. You also aspect the sun and moon and stars and planets. There is no part of the cosmos that you do not aspect. There is a mutual tug.

The moon affects the tides. The moon also pulls you, and the tides you splash in resound around you. Nothing in the Universe is isolated. If you are standing in the middle of a desert, the resonance of the tides reaches you and has its way with you. Nevertheless, you are the steerer of yourself. Just as, if the ocean water should splash on you while you are all dressed up, how you react to getting your good clothes splashed is your call. I suggest that you laugh about it.

Sometimes life in the world has superseded relative reality. You may forget that wet clothes get dry. It is no catastrophe to get your evening gown wet. It is, in fact, nothing at all but nature doing as nature does. May getting good clothes wet be the most difficult happenstance you meet in life.

You may say that you are always going to be authentic, and if you are upset about the ocean tide's splashing your good dress, you are going to say so. You are not going to put on a show of not minding. Beloved, I must ask you: What kind of a show are you putting on when you make a fuss?

In life in the world, it is necessary to take things in perspective. Otherwise, you may always be upset. Upset is a poor show to put on.

It is never remiss of you to put things in perspective.

Nature engages with you, and you engage with nature. Be good-natured. A king or queen is not petulant. A king or queen puts events in their place. That you don't allow yourself to be heaved hither and yon doesn't mean that you are superficial. It's just means that now you are aware that the universe is not only about you and your convenience or inconvenience. There is more at stake for you and the world than what suits you at a particular moment.

Will you have a go at one day of being good-natured. Not insincere, but sincerely good-natured.

What is worth being upset about and what is not?

That same ocean that splashes on you when you don't want it to is the same ocean that gives you fun at the beach.

Beloveds, you are also part of nature. The same original force that powers the ocean also powers you. Use your power to make life beautiful for yourself and others. Look at what the sun does. The sun is glad for everyone and everything. The sun is glad to shine on you. Welcome the sun. And if the sun is too bright and is burning your skin, put on a hat or drive to the woods and sit under a tree. Nature provided you the trees as well.

Whatever you might have thought to complain about today, substitute something to be pleased with. Be easy to please. That is much finer than being difficult to please. Maybe not everything has to be just the way you like it. Maybe you can like it the way it is anyway.

Everyone in the world doing the best he can at this particular moment in time and space. I am not making excuses for My children, yet sometimes they do not rise to the occasion. I am asking you who are reading this to arise to the occasion. That means exercising good manners and good will, and so you will bless the world.
