underStanding

    Today is Valentines day, a day to remember the special ones in life, be it  parents/siblings/partner/friend/colleague.. to pause a wile say/remind self first and the other, I am special and you are a meaningful/integral part in my life, helping me to be delightful/purposeful by aiding me to be complete, within this integral part of this understood understanding, by living within this flesh/blood to be of any purpose/use.
    Happened to watch a video posted today, went on to define life built around a simple/casual word called 'love' which rolled/rolling out thus ..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0MHBRWiywk

Without love every word is wasted. (True/False..children/students/leaders/employers do they take in/observe their words/action in its totality to be eternal/meaningful irrespective of  their seniority/position delivered by/as.. parents/teachers/friends/priests/boss. Do I /we think and evolve for the best.)

Without Love the future does not matter. (True/False..do we just want robots/sausages to be churned out as clones)

Without Love faith is academic. (True/False..how many degrees acquired/books written and read, would makes any difference to the understanding with no value/content  in action to be felt/left void at large in its literal content. Often finding an excuse  just to run away from the reality of living into this simple life with confidence/stride with imbibed self esteem of worth in this created perceived simple silly complexities)

Without Love feeding the poor doesn't pay. (True/False..A warm hug/simple word of concern how valuable compared to being branded/recognized as a philanthropist, to be felt within left for individuals to feel/explore the possibilities based on individual circumstances)

Without Love great sacrifices is great foolishness. (True/False..how many sacrifices made in the name of misunderstandings, to erupt out finally as wars/sanctions/boundaries.. who lost/won leaving behind with what to carry over why/what for!?)

Without Love marriage is a negotiation. (True/False..to last how long with what quality/burden to bear, with an attitude of utility/value)

Without Love parenting is just a childcare. (True/False..striving pretending to be doing all for them, to actually escape form the reality of grooming/teaching/caring in the name of 'value addition' what kind of depressed/deprived/ignored generation are we breeding out for the future within self/other)

Without Love work is merely work. (True/False..to being a service built around an attitude/culture of unconditional caring. What to witness now in the pretext of being educated witnessing stress/anxiety/huddle to a simple understanding that once our ancestors said  'Work is Worship')

Without Love time is only money. (True/False..have we not really become rationally cold as metals/objects to being warm/real as warm/natural can simply be.  Maturing/Grooming one to be called a special smiling/caring responsible human being to this planet in its totality and finally evolve out as a friend/colleague/parent/teacher and a family at large)

Without Love fear remains. (True/False.. are we still living in the past to be depressed, in the future to be anxious or in the present to be at peace within self, facing life in its holistic content of simplicity/joy/responsibility which life/love is all about for this journey/pilgramage)

What is Love then!? Its to me then -'living on virteous ends' true/falsE!?

eUcharIst

    Reflecting/Pondering on the understanding  'The Eucharist' is as simple as trying to fill the entire water resources in/on our planet comprising/occupying approximately 70 percent space, into a man made reservoir. The Eucharists primary purpose/understanding is to integrate self/family/community together and help create a non-competitive circumstance/environment of togetherness, is the literal intrinsic meaning of the word Eucharist, meaning simply me/you in the communion of the Divine, whom we understand as the supreme/God. A symbolic physical metaphor used to get connected to the spirit within is the Eucharist in its totality. Is my understanding/awareness so far into living within this structure(flesh,bones)/substance(blood,plasma) to the earth/water as we see/feel/use in once/our day to day life. The gifted/exploring/unexplored have an opportunity to reflect/share in their abundantly 'earned' grace/blessings obtained often circumstantially/coincidentally with the needy physically/mentally/materially/spiritually flocking very often under the pretext of an umbrella called the Church/Shelter. Erecting/Guiding for showing/leading into the path shown to humanity by Jesus Christ. The spiritual inspiration/light for the proclaimed followers classified as Christians by fate/choice.
    The supreme spirit left humanity physically with a simple message 'do this in memory of me'. As a science graduate have found it very interesting/intriguing/practical to being just another theoretical hypothesis. Spirituality is a way of life, chosen by individuals personally with convictions and end up following someone who walked in their talk, built on an assumption that there is something/everything to the just tangible structural body being created/guided within an aura for a larger unknown purpose/cause. Here to me what is compelling/interesting when trying to understand this command, left to his followers 'do this in memory of me'.. what memories had he really left/shown for me/us is the primary question. When reflecting back, on his simple life as God himself, which has chosen to deliver/convey a message, as one understands when saying  'Holy Mary mother of God'. Shown/revealed from the old into the new testament, once translated through prophets now by the very God himself manifested through a physical three dimensional avatar. To think memories of what!? Birth/Miracles/Parables/Passion/Resurrection is the memory left to be connected within. Now what did he do with his flesh, has showed humanity how to train the body/mind(spirit) with obedience/fasting/penance offering self as the bread with 'unconditional love' to/for all. Showing one to built/mature on forgiveness/patience/caring/sharing inculcating attitude, which he revealed teaching/showing us how/when. Worth checking what he did for his flesh and how he utilized his flesh/structure and for what causes referring to the historical facts revels. The blood is the life source/line to the flesh/organs..science tells us, it does 3 basic primary functions namely nourishment/detoxification/protection. What is the meaning to derive out from this reflection on/of the blood spilled in Calvary for us sinners, whose last words were 'forgive them for they do not know' what is the indication, and where is it leading towards it's simple, directing one towards his simple choices made to reveal to humanity not as a ruler/general but as an ordinary man, as ordinary can be, instructing one to be the last to be the first/be the least in the abundance emphasizing only on meekness/humility. Telling/showing/directing humanity to choose means which are bright/straight, else to end up poisoning the flesh within with impurities/toxins where the mind(spirit) is nourished/ groomed. Where its worth reflecting/remembering the means does matter in accomplishment of the ends, there is no justification for the means however big/small/noble the end be. As simple as, one wrong and one right does not make a right. Proven well in personal relationships/nation building where its difficult to built trust, but just needs a fraction of evidence to shatter/crumble up the efforts built over generations assumed for a larger good. Where the truth will prevail and a lair will always have to find means to justify their deeds to the righteous.  A reflection on this simple practical utility value at least once a day/week/month/year is the call towards in his memory/vision/mission. As children we often say, its easy for you to tell me this/that to their parents, when/where/how have you proven it yourself is a casual question often encountered. To shatter this, the word became flesh and revealed his wisdom in flesh. One can perceive this still as a mystery or avail it as an opportunity, to be no longer ignorant once exposed/revealed, which the Christians understand as 'The Trinity' father(word as in the Old testament)/son(word revealed in the New testament)/spirit(the holy content/intentions left with for the present). 
    My/Your pilgrimage is a personal choice, not to be built on pride/arrogance/prejudice but to be groomed/ nurtured/persevered/developed through understandings/dialogues/tolerance/patience. Nothing built/grabbed on a drop of blood/pinch of flesh/aggressive attitude, will last meaningfully, nor deliver its intended purpose however righteous/just/noble it might look in the beginning, at the end is the simple message obtained form the Eucharist to my understanding/exploration so far. One has often heard a proverb that 'One can only take a horse to a stream to drink water'. The choice is left for the animal to decide and drink depending on its circumstance/will. The factors to be seriously considered in this casual statement often made/understood is A) One should be careful not to drag/push the horse to the stream, it will/would choke and hurt its body/emotions which is greater/important than the intentions knowingly/ignorantly B) Its the responsibility of the guide/host to be certain then that the water is not murky/polluted for the horse to drink, else to repent/suffer later for the guidance/insight. Its worth recollecting/reminding to self often that there is always a room for improvement/correction/modification even in the best of best evolved environments, is what all of his creation in this evolution/mutation/reproduction has shown/proven with time.  One has a rational choice and can choose a life as innocent animals or live as a creation understanding to be just special/responsible for all.With this note shutting the tabernacle encapsulating the Eucharist within to be of any usE/valuE.
