Knowledge absorbed by the mind is fickle. Sometimes it stays, other times it fades. Knowledge that descends from the mind, down into the heart, remains forever. It takes root and changes lives.
Heart knowledge doesn't have to be earth shattering to be profound. A simple change in perception - seeing something through the eyes of the heart instead of the eyes of the mind - can alter the way you look at yourself, look at others or look at the world in general.
The grandest and the simplest of my life's lessons have come from the heart.
My heart taught me that a cemetery is only a scary place until someone you love is laid to rest. It then becomes a place of quiet tasks - grass clippings brushed from a headstone, flowers arranged and rearranged. It becomes a place where you leave the world at the gates and devote time to tender memories.
My heart taught me that the lifeblood of my country isn't the rights and freedoms I enjoy. It is the heart I see in the weeping eyes of our Veterans on Remembrance Day. It is the cost exacted from their souls for love of the land I am privileged to call home.
My heart taught me that every generation has its heroes. They aren't found on the television or movie screen, on the radio or in major sports. Heroes are busy, away from the limelight, doing what heroes do best - putting others before themselves. From the major cities and quiet hamlets in the industrialized world, to the most desolate and destitute places on earth, there are heroes to be found. All we have to do - to find them - is stop looking in the wrong places.
My heart taught me that loneliness has nothing to do with being by myself and everything to do with filling a God-shaped hole in the center of my being. Some of my loneliest experiences have been in the presence of other people.
My heart taught me that puppy kisses and hugs from small children can heal a whole lot of hurt.
My heart taught me that I catch on 'real quick' and suddenly 'get it', when a lesson I've refused to learn is repeated in the lives of my children.
My heart taught me to stop hatred, fear, disrespect and prejudice at the front door of my home. I can't stop all the ugliness in the world, but I can create a safe haven for the hearts and souls of my family by refusing the ugliness entrance into my home.
My heart taught me that trying to change people is best left in God's hands. They will fall into every pothole they refuse to go around and hit every wall they willingly run toward, regardless of have much I want to save them from suffering through the consequences of their actions. I can help pick up their broken pieces in the aftermath, but God can use their self-inflicted pain to help them make better choices in the future.
My heart taught me that my own personal happiness is my own personal responsibility. Putting that responsibility on someone else's shoulders is unfair. The burden is heavy. It's also unrealistic. No one was put on earth for the sole purpose of making me happy.
My heart taught me that compassion isn't a gift I can give to someone else's heart. It is a gift of spirit I can only grow in my own heart. I can plant seeds, but I can't make someone care about the hungry, the lonely or the oppressed people in the world around them. My efforts only make them pretend to care - when I'm around them.
My heart taught me that walking out the church door is the holiest moment of a Sunday morning service. Either I take the message with me and make it part of my life, or I leave it in the sanctuary, tucked away till the following Sunday morning.
My heart taught me that time-worn advice doesn't always wear out. The old adage to remember the sun when it's raining and remember the rain when the sun is shining, contains more wisdom than many modern day theories and philosophies.
My heart taught me that missing someone is a very real ache. It comes from a place where another heart has touched my own and left a permanent imprint.
My heart taught me that birth really is a miracle. A new baby, fresh from heaven, is a new chance, for a new heart, to bring new light into this old world.
Hidden heartbeats hold threads of wisdom that forever lie inside of me - and forever lie inside of you.

Melissa,
This may not have been a good night to start, as there were a few emergencies and a black out... and I fell asleep. Got up at 7:20 but no one was in chat room. You are talking about Dave's chat room aren't you? If not, you forgot to post the link to any other. Keep trying.. people may be ready to respond soon, but I think they missed your post today.

Hi!

well I was trying o start a chat on AOL called "Space Station Earth"...

but lets just use Dave's chat!

lets try at 7 PM evenings...

not sure how to get into Dave's chat but I will try...

Melissa

OK...

I am lost..I don't see a chat listed...help!

how do I get into it??

Melissa

Melissa,
Thanks for sharing that great passage. - Rick

melissa, url www.davedavies.com/chat
and voila!

thanks!!!! :-) got it!!

now lets try to get Dave on here at 7 PM...lets just log on every night at 7 PM...everybody who can...

I'd love to meet you all!!!

Melissa

the 'and voila!' isn't part of the url, sorry :)

ok, cool, see ya sometime :)

Ah shirt I thanked the wrong person, sorry Karen!

Do we have to rent out the chat room from Dave?:) I think it's great that it's getting used...and Dave doesn't have to be pressured to be the leader of the chat. Does this include Saturdays and Sundays too?
hello, KIM... chat room.

Sounds Good, but what about GMT people..?

Dave

ps obviously I will not be able to go on all the time.But will when I can

just concerned about'impersonators'..maybe monitor and log chats.

I think Dave's talking about Dave impersonators, like all those 'Rays' on the Ray message board? Maybe the site admin can disallow the use of "Dave" and variants as a chat moniker (except by Dave, of course?).

Hey all

yes...

Dave : just make " Dave Davies" the ONLY Dave allowed on the board- and we will know its you then.

anybody else claiming to be you,we will know differently if you only use "Dave Davies".

everyone who can tune in, chat 7 PM Pacific! Be there or be square...

peace Melissa

if the chat were earlier, say 2 or 3 pac time, pple in the uk and europe who aren't total vampires could come? much earlier, and i'd sleep through it :)

3 or 4 pm ( Pacific) on Saturdays (maybe) would be good...
On weekdays, most people are at work until 5-6 pm..So, 7 Pacific might be the only time.
( I tend to fall asleep while watching Hannity and Colmes..:) (6-7pm)

Hmmm...

well...I can really log in anytime right now...lets see...

I opt for keeping it at 7 PM Pacific time...unless Dave has a better time in mind..I know he and some others are in the UK from time to time...

I do like having a certain time EVERY night, and then those of us who CAN, can tune in...

Melissa

Dave

if U are in UK right now-

***what would be a better time for you, so you might get a chance to chat?

I guess 7 PM Pacific time is a bad time GMT time!

melissa

Barb, do you say things to anger me...:)
Wm.

heaven's no, Wm. why?

Hi Melissa. Between my mother-in-law's health, and then my son's camping/birthday celebration, I'm finally getting to post here.

I'm on the east coast, and then GMT is five hours ahead of me, so you can understand Dave being concerned that his friends like Olga, Carrie, Ellie, et al, will be snug in their beds during your chat. I'm looking forward to it, myself...excellent idea! I wonder, what would be the earliest you could do it on the west coast, and still get participants? 5 or 6 pm? What if it were a Sunday afternoon gathering, also, so that at least once per week, the people in Europe had a chance to participate?

Ellen

Hi Ellen!

well- we can make it 3 PM Pacific! that will probably be a lot better!

***why don't we make it 3 PM Pacific starting tomorrow- and that will beon weekends too- so anybody working can still participate too!

I wil post a general notice on this...

Melissa

I just realized that in my haste to write that post before my daughter bugged me for the computer, the message was sort of convoluted. BTW, any old time is fine for me...I was thinking of the UK, and Europe crowd.

What I should have said, was perhaps leave whatever time works for the Pacific, during the week, and then have an earlier chat on Sundays.

Don't mind me...I'm sort of punchy from a long weekend. Take care.

Ellen

Actually, I love to 'read between the lines', When It comes to your postings....I know your thinking of me, It Is so very sweet. An older sexy woman flirting with me...Makes me feel so alive, Like Dustin Hoffman--heheheh...
:>)

HUH???

Sorry, no. I've got this good-looking 42-year old guy who sort of resembles Ray Davies(according to folks here), who is the father of my children, and my lover.

Ellen

Shields up, Lieutenant! ;o)

That would make it 11pm GMT - fair enough! Cant do it tonight, am working til midnight, but will try and bob in and say hello!

Carrie

Ellen, DONT FLATTER YOURSELF, I was talking about LALADY....Jeez....And thanks for descrip- on the hubby.

Oh, thank God, William...LOL! No, I wasn't doing that at all...rotflmao! You just made my night, kind sir.

Yes, he's a great guy, and he is gradually becoming a Dave fan. Sadly, he is tone deaf, and couldn't carry a tune to save himself. But, we've had a lot of fun for the past 16 years, with a few bumps, but we're still enjoying the ride. :-))) Our kids are a joy also, along with the ever vigilant Misty.

Blessings to you and your furry friends.
Ellen

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
"Your tearing me apart"!
Wm.

I could have sworn you were talking to Ellen too , Wm. Eps. when you said "sexy older woman" ... lol...that's got to be Ellen! Not me. I'm only 23.
:-)

Mrs. Robinson, eh? hmmmmm

No, dear sir...I'm rather fond of you, even if we don't agree on a lot of things...especially politics. You have a good heart, and a very funny, dry sense of humor. Sadly, I've no idea what you look like!

And, you love cats...so you must be a good soul.
;-)

I could have sworn you were closer to Dave's age, Mrs. Robinson!

Sooo William has this thing about older women, huh...however, I never thought of Ellen as an "older" woman..always seems young to me.

Hey Mrs. Robinson our nation turns it's lonely eyes to yooooooouuuuuu...

~Randy~

LOL... :-P

ok, ok... i'm am younger than Dave though...(ever so slightly). :-)

Ok, Randy, lol, I'm trying to get *the Nation* back together and in good hands.

~Mrs. R.~

Yes, any man who loves cats, has to be a good guy.
Any man who doesn't love cats, is a bad guy. :-)

That's my simple view of life.

I'm taking the red eye tonight....Prepare yourself LALADY...
Wm.

Whew!!! I am glad I love cats, then.

purrrrrr,

~Randy~
