	<description>Most lives are spent waiting. Waiting for dreams to manifest, for trouble to end, and for life to be happy. Golden Zen reflects on the brillance of the NOW and the winks we receive from our Source to remind us we possess it all. Golden Zen is practical and mystical, instructive and reflective. You are my invited guest.</description>

		<description>Liara, YES, it begins within before it ever becomes a force for life outside.  Thank you.</description>

		<description>It makes sense to realize that we are each our own inspirations. You point out that human beings can become more available to love.  This is often true.  Yet, whatever you are living is only as real as what you permit yourself to create and experience inside.  If you do not choose to love and accept yourself, explore what it means unconditionally, then you will not know when love is inviting you to experience or reinforce beneficial things outside of yourself.</description>

		<description>Beautifully done. I&#039;ve had some of that life get in the way myself lately and I can relate. But you certainly made a sweet drink from your lemons. You&#039;ve connected us to many kind souls in your writing. Thank you.</description>

		<description>^/&gt; Robin, did I write a post?

^/&gt; Marelisa, as you teach us all the time, abundance is everywhere!

^/&gt; Lance, you are always thoughtful...meaning you mention ways you are looking into yourself.  What a champion characteristic!

^/&gt; Kelly - thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement.  I am very blessed by my community of friends online.

^/&gt; Alexys - sounds like a theme I read recently on your site! :-)</description>

		<description>Hi Harmony,
I hope Ginger is doing well. (I love golden retrievers)

You summed up why we are all here - to love. And when we are not loving, we are miserable.

Every instance, every choice, every chance tests our ability to love. 

Ginger is fortunate to have you looking after her. You both get to exercise love and harmony for each other.

Thanks for sharing these wonderful stories - all examples of love in action.</description>

		<description>Harmony

This was a beautiful post. Your writing really touched me, so if you think it&#039;s lackluster than man, your other stuff must be really good!

I hope your gorgeous Ginger is doing okay now. you shouldn&#039;t feel bad for forgetting about blogging when life takes an unexpected turn and you&#039;re worried out of your mind. Let alone seriously sleep deprived. 

I love how you ask what can we do today to be more available to love? It&#039;s a question we should ask ourselves every day, I think. 

Take care of yourself. Hope you can catch up on your zzs this weekend.

		<description>I hope Ginger is feeling better...

This story here today reminds me that sometimes we are called to inspired action because of the circumstances we encounter.   Such was the case for both Irena and the young man you encountered.  And it makes me question, do I ever avoid a &quot;situation&quot; because I don&#039;t want to get involved.  And if I do (I&#039;m sure I have), what is this saying about me.  What is life about, what is it that I value?  I dare to say life is about service to others.  We are a world in deep need for connections with others.  And what better way than to be of service to those in need.</description>

		<description>Hi Harmony: Poor Ginger, I hope she&#039;s doing better.  I can certainly understand why your mind wasn&#039;t on blogging.  I think that the young man at the vet&#039;s office was showing a lot of compassion for a fellow creature, the little kitty is very fortunate to have found him.</description>
