Buddha

There is a little Buddha in Here You Are, and a little Buddhism, too. Right where all the other religions also hide in plain view, between the lines. On Amazon.com Here You Are is tagged as a Buddhist children's book. There are about 200 others. The best way to find it, is to enter Mayke Briggs, or Here You Are Briggs.

Here For Waiting

I came across the statement “We are here for waiting” today, made by a four year-old little girl in the Seattle Children’s Hospital, as posted earlier here on this blog. She was waiting to get her health back, and for her Dad to return home from a long absence. Both events were going to be far off in the future. Sometimes, what we are waiting for never comes about, yet, if we learn the lesson that can be learned from waiting itself, if we can even learn to wait infinitely, we will discover what we were really looking for all along - the present.

A sunrise, or being stuck in traffic, become the same. We are finally here, and just being here is the magic trick of uniting with the whole Universe and Eternity. Here is Home.
