And now the imagined coil of time winds, and you follow it like a tracing in the wind. Where did it go? Where was it?
You like a new start. Oh, how you like a new start. You would like to throw off all the old trappings and start anew. That is what I desire for you as well. Throw off the trappings of the past and re-emerge into life as you desire it, fresh, new, untrammeled, eager, buoyant, fun-loving.
Why not have a life of love and fun? Why not make everyone you meet happy? Why not engender smiles and laughter?
Consider that you wake up each morning anew. Fresh from a spin in Heaven, you are jaunty as you set off on your day. Consider that you have a one day's assignment, to laugh and create joy. Just for this one day. Will you lighten the load you have been carrying and everyone else's too?
Today tread lightly.
You are not a comic in life, for that would bring strain. You are simply an enjoyer of life. Life, not taken so seriously, is a joy. Think of it. There is a day and a night, and day comes after night. You live in a lighted world. You have a sky that looks down on you and keeps you holy. You have the outer light of the Sun, and the inner light of the Sun. The water that courses through the world also courses through you. All the terrain of the universe travels through you as well. You are the mountains and the valleys just as they are also you. The connection is tender.
All the madding crowds are also remnants of your thoughts, long lost echoes perhaps, perhaps stray. All on Earth is a reverberation of what goes on in the Human mind. Vagrant thoughts command you. You already know the thoughts that assail you. Replace them.
When thoughts are so powerful, can you not believe that they can and will transform the world?
What volcanoes would erupt when there are no volcanoes within you? What war would there be when you have no warring within yourself? It is your Self that you fight. You fight the goodness and mercy within you, and you choose ego instead. Have you not?
You chose ego the same way you might impulsively buy a shiny object displayed on a counter top in front of you and you didn't buy an exquisite emerald encased in a silken box. You didn't see it. You didn't bother to look. You were in a hurry. In another moment, you could have seen it, could have purchased it at the same price, but you were hasty. And so you held the shiny object of ego before you and thought you had made a good deal. Its shine wore off soon enough.
Now look a little further and deeper in life.
Cast no stones means to put no obstacles to love before you. Love instead. And that is how you have joy. And that is how you start a new day. The past is a wave of the ocean. Where is it now? You cannot find it. New waves of the ocean are before you, and you dive in to find an enchanted world where everything is new and nothing remains and no shadows are cast.
Leave the emotional pond you have been wading in. Enter this beautiful ocean of today. It is eager to bear you across itself to a new land of Joyousness. This land is also known as Peace. It is also known as Love, Love so still and so vibrant that it encompasses everything, the past, the present, the future and everything.
