Overcoming Obstacles: The Glory Of The Sky (Jai Bhakti™ Blog)

'Was having a rough day today, so mom set me up outside in my reclining chair.It's difficult to be down when surrounded by this beauty. I stared up at the sky for awhile, then meditated. Medicare has denied me access to the medication that makes living with third degree burns going down the INSIDE of my left arm remotely bearable (the medication is roughly $13,000/year. Needless to say, I cannot afford that.). I'm still not sleeping well at night due to the pain and stress, but thank God for this glorious day! It's difficult to be down when surrounded by this beauty.

The sky has always been my refuge. One of the
silver linings of not being able to sit up is that when I'm able to get outside (which is not often, but I'm grateful for the times I do get outside in my recliner or wheelchair) I have to stare at the sky. So many colors and moods...

Don't forget to look up once in awhile!

Enjoy your day.

JAI BHAKTI™ BLOG "Shánti DeVai: Sun Bath No. 777"

My beloved cat Shánti DeVai hasn't left my side since I came down with asthmatic bronchitis on Tuesday. There is nothing like a cat's unconditional love (except for a mother's. And a dog's. You get the picture.)

My fever broke twice this week, but it's back. It's warm enough to have the window open a bit. I'm enjoying listening to the birds frolicking around outside as I rest. It's amazing how, when you're bedridden 95% of the time, something as simple as the sound of a bird chirping brings such a profound sense of unity and Oneness with everything. A profound sense of well being, even when the physical body is ailing and depleted of energy. This is grace, and for this I am thankful.

I took this photo a few minutes ago. 'Rolled over to throw out some tissues and there she was, gazing at me. 

Some day I shall tell the story about how she picked out her own name. Well, she picked her first name. DeVai is a  portmanteau of Devi (goddess) and Vai, my dear friend, and composer, Steve Vai's last name.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

JAI BHAKTI™ BLOG: Yesterday and Today

I'm thinking perhaps April Fool's day came a day early yesterday, what with the hour long snow storm and all:

Today, the snow thas melted and the sun is shining brightly.
Jay Hanuman! Sri Surya (the Sun) is shining his light upon us all!

A beautiful day of rebirth. This is spring.

May your renewal in all things great and good give you a profound sense of peace and rejuvenation in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah!

Happy Easter!

Love and Blessings, my friends.

Namo Namah,
