| 2003年08月19日(火) | 限界と無限 恐怖心のテスト 冬瓜 |
There is no limit,
because God is love and love is God.
And so you are really
in love with God,
and God's love is infinite.
And that's why it's not
how much you do,
but how much love you put
into the action.
Before God we are all poor.
We are all handicapped in one way
or another.Sometimes it can be
seen on the outside,
sometimes it is in the inside.
The healthy person may be closer
to dying or even more dead than
the person who is dying.
They might be spiritually dead,
only it does not show.
-----Eecerpts from The Joy in Loving by Mother Teresa
限界を感じることがある。体力の限界。精神力の限界。年老いて死なないものは
いまだかつてなかったし、自分もそうだ。覚悟しようとしても助かりたいと願う。
誰でも年を取るけれど、取り方は違うかもしれない。生き方は違うかもしれない。
器が小さいのかなと思う。大きな器を買おうかな。
阿弥陀仏は光明無量寿命無量という。God's love is infinite.限りある命。
永遠の命を頂いて、とか言う言い方をする人がありました。信仰告白の人。
魂とか心とか霊とか。
一年の半分が昼間で半分が夜の国。常夏の国でも夜はくるのですよね？朝もくる。
夜と朝。黎明や夕暮れ。

冬瓜というのがけっこうちょっとしたスイカのように大きいのを買って、ずっと
そのままにしていたんですが、やっと料理しました。まあまあかな。好評だった。

勇気があるかどうかというテストだと思うんですけど。その結果の内容です。
Do you face it or fear it?
Fine and fearless
Well done. You are a positive, confident and fearless person. Emotionally, you are easy-going and this makes you see fears for what they are. However, remember to keep addressing your lifestyle and routine in case you are falling into emotional fear traps - a common one is fear of being single again.
Although it is great to be laid-back and fearless - don't be so laid-back that you ignore prospective dangers. You need to make sure you are acknowledging your fears and not ignoring them by burying your head in the sand.
It is important to remember that fear does have a real purpose in our lives. It serves to warn us of genuine danger, so not acknowledging some of our fears and listening to our gut instinct is not without fear.
If an event happens, which demands a response, you need to know how to react. For example, if you touch the stove and it is hot, you need to know to take your hand away. With this in mind, it is important to know your fear and what your response needs to be, rather than just ignoring it.
Essential daydreaming
Take five minutes in your favourite chair, put on some music or sit in silence and let your thoughts wander. Imagine yourself doing what you would really like to be doing, however unrealistic that is.
Let yourself be with the thoughts that matter to you. Just experience them. At the end of your five minutes write down whatever comes into your head, however unconnected.
It may begin to make some sense, in time, and may help you unearth your fears and ambitions.
まあ本当はかなり怖がりだけどな。
