Physicists have demonstrated how electrons are affected just by being observed. Quantum physics has shown how observation itself affects what is being observed on some level.
I truly believe that those who have been abused, humiliated, or disgraced are redeemed by being witnessed through the eyes of a loving being. Let us not turn a blind eye to the plight of those who suffer.

Yesterday at sunset, I buried Bodhi at Amma's swan lake and was greeted by two white swans. They eased my heavy heart with their peaceful, healing presence. They slowly nodded their heads down at the same time (maybe giving me permission to bury him there?) One of them stayed at the bank and watched the whole time. Thank you Guruji, from the bottom of my heart:
The gift of this world is the endless opportunity to practice selflessness in a place that is predominantly selfish. It is the perfect realm to test your wisdom and develop compassion.
People say not to project human emotions onto animals...but who says emotions are specific to humans?? Perhaps it's more universal than that. Yes, fish do get depressed! Emotions are one of the simplest ways species can understand each other since we don't speak the same language or hear the same frequencies, but you know when your dog wags his tail and can't stop jumping, he is happy to see you!
I think a lot about Death. Seeing loved ones pass, knowing loved ones will pass, knowing you must also pass. So on the one hand, you want to make the most of life and pursue all the things you wanted to do, but on the otherhand you question what things are due to ego and what things are beneficial for spirit. Some people try to acquire all they want before it's too late, while others choose to acquire peace before it's too late. Either way, none of us want to waste life..... either way, "carpe diem".
I was going to put 'music' away to get other things done in life when my hamster started clawing under my bookshelf. I had to drag the bookshelf away from the wall to grab him and I saw a crumpled piece of paper in the corner. I unfolded it and saw this...haha, very funny! Guess I'll always be your slave:
I think if you can see all the good and bad things that happen to you, as contributing to your evolution, you will never really be disappointed. You are always on the right path, the long-term goal of understanding your strengths and weaknesses is it's own success when you reach that point.
Isn't it strange how we come and go? We inhabit a body, and then we leave.
