The Birth of Christ
by JamesThomas inposting this under friends, as it is not about beliefs and religions.
the birth of christ.
there is that which is not a separate deity too small and limited to be present, but rather that which is presence itself.. there is that which is not a distant savior whose love is conditional and restricted to faith, but rather is the very presence of unconditional love itself.. there is that which is not a creatural spirit who offers peace for acts of faith, but rather that which is peace itself.. there is that which is not a god gleamed from a book believed by some to be alive and true, but rather than which is all-embracing life and truth itself.. there is that which is not a spiritual-being who some day may arrive, but rather that which is the living present-moment of beingness itself.. there is that which is not a separate lord who is holy and pristine, but rather that which is purity itself.

Again, the Best Turkey Ever.
by JamesThomas inlike everyone this time of year when the weather is getting warm, thoughts turn to turkey.. i buy a small turkey around twelve pounds and do a high-heat chef marc turkey.
but before i do that, i brine it over night in salt water, onions and herbs.. it's to die for.. ok, the kitchen gets unbearably hot for a while, but then you have all this wonderful moist turkey to make cold sandwiches with.
try it, and you will never cook a turkey the old way again.. j

An Observation About Life
by JamesThomas inbeing consciously present in this moment of life's expression, being open and meeting with this present moment of reality, being truly with what is actually here without judgments and mental commentary, does not seem to leave much room for beliefs in deities and their shenanigans.
in fact such imaginings only seem to steal away the vibrant aliveness of here.
so, perhaps, it is when we are not that much present with the truth of life, right here, right now, and rather lost in mental interpretations that we feel a need to become involved in the drama of gods and religion.
