From the madness.

For all the fear and complaining going on we have certainly learned a lot.

I had worked for many years in the prisons in Minnesota as an alcohol and drug counselor. Prior to that I worked in an extended care facility for men in the early stages of recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.

I heard many different perspectives about life, and the horrible effects life has on people.

So many people complained about the rotten life they had to endure, and others complained about how horrible the alcoholics, drug addicts and criminals were because of the choices they made.

I also heard from those who could maintain compassion, empathy, understanding, and love towards most people.

From all this complaining and all the terrible things that have gone on in this world, the madness shows us what we do not prefer.

If you are paying attention, you can find the mindset to create what you do prefer.

Ironically enough, when I choose to meet every experience with compassion, understanding, acceptance, appreciation, humility, empathy, kindness, and love, others think I have gone mad.

I do appreciate being called crazy for the Love I have towards all beings.

May each of you allow yourself the gift of finding the Love within yourself and others.

You are Love and Loved.
