SAM HUNT - TAKE YOUR TIME



I came across the text from a soul searching book 'Rebuilding My Broken World' about two decades ago.

I hope it helps you.

"In our private worlds, God, our Creator, is mostly likely to whisper in the gentle stirrings of conviction, guidance, and the experiences of grace. But also in our private worlds is the grim reality of darker, shadowy forces that we identify with the word evil or sinfulness. If God whispers, evil often shouts, and personal worlds break when that shouting gets our attention.

The principle of being silent with listening - We wished to be listeners to the deep sources where certain kinds of heavenly truth are tapped only by those who have a heart to be attentive. So we became aware that God has much to say that we had not been hearing. We were usually too busy and in places where the noise levels were too high. God will not shout, he whispers in the deep. Only those who stop long enough or who are stopped long enough hear the text of the messages from the deep."

GUNS N' ROSES - SWEET CHILD O' MINE



In 2004 I read a book 'A Path With Heart' written by Jack Kornfield. It was beautifully written and I must confessed, it won my heart. Thought I share it here with all of you.

Thanks.

"There is a tribe in east Africa in which the art of true intimacy is fostered even before birth. In this tribe, the birth date of a child is not counted from the day of its physical birth nor even the day of conception, as in other village cultures. For this tribe the birth date comes the first time the child is a thought in its mother's mind. Aware of her intention to conceive a child with a particular father, the mother then goes off to sit alone under a tree. There she sits and listens until she can hear the song of the child that she hopes to conceive. Once she has heard it, she returns to her village and teaches it to the father so that they can sing it together as they make love, inviting the child to join them. After the child is conceived, she sings it to the baby in her womb. Then she teaches it to the old woman and midwives of the village, so that throughout the labor and at the miraculous moment of birth itself, the child is greeted with its song. After the birth all the villagers learn the song of their new member and sing it to the child when it falls or hurts itself. It is sung in times of triumph, or in rituals and initiations. This song becomes a part of the marriage ceremony when the child is grown, and at the end of life, his or her loved ones will gather around the deathbed and sing this song for the last time."

"Life is beautiful if we learn to love life. That essence of life is within life itself. To understand the true meaning of unconditional Love, is to love life itself, which is below you, around you and above you. It is not an easy task or journey for anyone of us to achieve that kind of love, for to love means is to let go of our ego "I" and think of WE or US. I fall millions of times and each time I would get up again and start all over again."

The US Space Force is recruiting (and has a snazzy promo video just for you)

"Maybe your purpose on this planet isn't on this planet."

It's official: The U.S. Space Force wants you to join the ranks of the newest branch of the American Armed Forces.

In a new recruitment video unveiled today (May 6), the Space Force makes its case for a military life among the stars.

"Some people look to the stars and ask, 'What if?'" the video says. "Our job is to have an answer." Space Force officials shared the video on social media with a link to a recruitment website here.

The Space Force is the sixth and newest branch of the U.S. military and was ordered by President Donald Trump to oversee U.S. military activities in space. It was officially established in December when Trump signed the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. The Space Force is part of the Department of the Air Force, much like the U.S. Marine Corps is part of the Department of the Navy.

In recent months, Space Force officials have weighed in on a Russian anti-satellite test, launched a website, unveiled a logo, welcomed its first 86 graduates from the U.S. Air Force Academy and, on May 1, began taking transfer applications from active service members hoping to snag a spot in the space-focused military branch.

The Space Force's promotional video offers tantalizing glimpses of U.S military activities in space. The military has constellations of communication, navigation and reconnaissance satellites in orbit, among other assets.

The video begins with what appears to be a potential recruit staring up into a starry night sky, then shifts quickly to scenes of rocket launches, astronauts, Space Force personnel and spaceflights. A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket makes a cameo, as does the Air Force's X-37B space plane, a reusable robotic military spacecraft that flies on classified missions. (The sixth X-37B flight, called OTV-6, will launch May 16.) There's even a fanciful deep-space vehicle that hints at Space Force missions beyond low-Earth orbit.

"Maybe your purpose on this planet isn't on this planet," the video adds as a zinger.

As promotional videos go, this one's not bad. It's catchy and fits in well with the Air Force's "Aim High" and the Army's "Be All You Can Be" taglines.

"This is an historic time to be in the space business and I could not be more excited to extend the opportunity to our active duty Air Force members to officially transfer into the Space Force," Gen. Jay Raymond, Space Force Chief of Space Operations and U.S. Space Command Commander, said in a statement last month to active duty service members looking to transfer to the branch. "We have the unique opportunity to create a new service; your energy, passion and expertise will be critical to our success."
