-----Original Message----- From: Bill@bkspeaks.com [mailto:Bill@bkspeaks.com] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 9:03 AM To: ordinarylife@yahoogroups.com Subject: [ordinarylife] Preview for Oct. 21, 2001 ORDINARY LIFE - Thoughts and Ideas To Help You Live a Happier Life ====================================== PREVIEW for October 21, 2001 ====================================== Dear Folks - There is a story told in Buddhism of a monk who was fleeing a tiger. He ran to the edge of a cliff and, being unable to stop himself, went over the edge. He caught the branch of a tree on his way down. He looked down and way below on the ground was another tiger. He glanced aside and saw a strawberry on a bush growing from the edge of the cliff beside him. He let go of the limb with one hand, picked the strawberry and savored it. This story is told as an example of the ability to enjoy a true present. But how can we do that when our experience is that our lives are falling apart? Our lives are really no different than they were prior to 9/11. What is different is that we see the reality of "what is" a bit better. True, these are difficult times. I'm inviting you to come to the Ordinary Life Gathering this Sunday. What I want to offer is comfort and suggestions on not just how to survive our present circumstances but how to thrive in the midst of the places that scare us. I look forward to seeing you then. Much love, Bill Kerley ====================================== Ordinary Life is a gathering that provides an opportunity to develop an enlightened heart and an awakened mind to the reality of the present moment. The gathering meets on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am in Fondren Hall at St. Paul's UMC - 5501 South Main, Houston, Texas and is taught by Dr. Bill Kerley.
