Hello Everyone. This is a marvelous informational International Forum
which has been provided to us all. I hope it is continued to be used
wisely. This is my first communicade. Have I addressed it properly?
 
I have been reading the religious gobbledygook and philosophical
fartings of so many of you over the past few months that I have FINALLY
been prompted to ask that I be permitted to submit and place the
following very small and personal concept upon the very messy banquet
table set before us all. ( So many uncleared Courses...tsk-tsk..) 
First, please allow me to clear a small corner space at this Universal
Round-Table you have over time so eloquently covered with layer upon
layer of Disagreement, Fuss, Sarcasm, Plagiarism, Inner Fears, Vengeful
Attitudes, Intellectual Snobbism, Mental, Physical, Emotional and
Spiritual Disharmony, Sadness, Lack of Joy, Disillusionment, Forceful
Placement of Collective and Personal Egoist Ideologies as well as
quotations of and from all and sundry which may suit and fit a
particular point but fail the over-all discussion. 
Ah! After rubbing diligently with all of my Heart at this same spot, I
now see the purity of the substance and Space God has provided us to
place the parts of ourselves we wish to share with others somehow
showing through. What a Glow... 
I will now place my lovely piece of fresh fruit given to me by The
Universe through a very beautiful and wise Grandmother. It is a simple
fruit which not only bursts with delightful flavor but is nourishing and
regenerative as well. Here it is... 
" THERE IS ONLY GOD EVERYTHING ELSE IS DOGMA " 
I have carried this fruit in my mind's knapsack all of my life. My Path
has taken me all over the planet and still does. 
I am fortunate in the fact that my Life Experience has allowed me to
encounter so many multi-varied peoples, places, things and ways of being
that I constantly take time and wonder at it all as I make my way
through. When I see the positive and negatives I and others experience,
I try to take as active a part as I can to positively influence the
occasion, and reach back and take another bite and am regenerated. Try
it. Pare away everything you think you know and then see what is left. 
Time to end this communicade. I hope you find it informative,
interesting and useful. If you use your ego as a positive tool, you
will. Meanwhile, I am going out this afternoon to a rehearsal of a
musical one man show I have written. I will put on my warmest coat,
sweater, scarf and shoes because it is snowing outside. I will close my
front door and walk down the street breathing in the air, hopefully hear
a bird ( if it is a pigeon cooing, so be it )look up at a gray-blue sky
and hopefully no Gull will inadvertently "sigh with relief" as it passes
overhead ( smile ) and try to catch a snowflake on my tongue. Some of
the grass will be green: a dandelion or two will be welcomed and Trees
will wear their thick, brown winter bark.. 
I will make sure that two things will definitely happen on my walk: The
first will be that I will in some way Thank God for all of these simple
pleasures I am being allowed to experience. The second is that I will
intentionally smile into the eyes of the first Bi-pedal Humanoid
Carbon-based Creature I see ...( 'Human' for short...I am such a Leo! 
...and toss as much Psychic Joy I can into their gaze just to share the 
warm glow of Living Here and Now together. 

As Lyle has said: " Peace " I am
