WHY PAST-TRIP WHEN YOU CAN LOVE?

“And so you’ve made mistakes along the way. Somebody needs your Loving Now, and here. Why don’t ya be a blessing, pal, today? ‘Cause guilt, regret, and shame ‘s a poor career. You need your love, and others need it, too; there ain’t no time ta lose, when love’s a need. And If ya know the Christ is loving You, ya know that love can get a person freed! So, Heaven, help us Care the way You do... and never Fret about the things gone by. Your love can help us All ta make it through; please, help us All give Love another try!” Okay?

RE: NO-MIND

(No-mind is a Buddhist term referring to paying attention fully, without past-tripping, future-tripping, nor being conceptual in the here-and-now)

“Now, No-mind ‘s not neglectful, no, indeed, and You can still apply yourself ta prayer. It means ya let the Holy Spirit lead – ya show yourself and others loving care!”
