My church comprises a regional community of faith which draws people from Camarillo, Agoura Hills, Moorpark, Granada Hills, Chatsworth, Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley, California.
The topic for the last Sunday in June, 2013:
”When one hears God speaking, is it Grace or is it Insanity?”
Do ask your ”touched” friends (of all stripes) to attend (or to listen to the audio added the first week in July, 2013 at guyatree.tumblr.com ; hastag: #Grace or Insanity )

Amanat Ali - Fateh Ali became celebrities while still in their childhood in undivided India, and achieved their highest official recognition in 1969, when the President of Pakistan conferred on them the Pride of Performance Medal. The “Bade” (elder) prefix got attached to Fateh Ali’s name after younger Pakistani musicians with similar names started making waves with an entirely different genre of music. Fateh Ali was dealt a devastating blow with the demise of his brother Amanat Ali in 1974.

‘The way I imagine it,
only once in twenty-five years
did any woman come close.
He was nearing fifty
and watching the gray make its steady advances
like a disorganized guerilla army
through the countryside
of his thinning hair.She was fifteen years younger
from a department store in some
small midwestern
town, and something
about her shyness
cut way into him.
They had sex twice, but he was
haunted. She never asked
for anything,
and he was afraid he
couldn’t forget her.
He knew what it would mean
if this ever got out—-
what would happen to the family,
what his sisters would say.
He wasn’t someone
to throw it all away
on one spin of the wheel.
So he let it die out: watching TV, tossing
the football with me
in the street.’

A sutta, aka sutra: thread.
Now a thread can be alone or part of a tapestry, and is sometimes noticed for simply standing out, than for its delicacy.
This thread of compassion is shared with gratitude among all who hear with the eye of listening and see with the ear of wisdom.
