Hot under the Collar

The weather has been extremely hot lately. The report warned that light winds and relatively high humidity will allow for the heat index to rise to excessive levels resulting in dangerously hot conditions. The choice of such strong language was warning enough, we were in for a scorcher of a time, and with little to no wind to wick moisture away, swimming in sweat might prove to be a new activity for many. Our zephyrs are named the North East Trades Winds. Songs have been written and sung about them. They have saved many of us from some stroke-filled days and miserable nights.
So now everyone is hot, fans are flying out the stores and the AC technicians are working overtime installing and servicing units. And all the talk is about how hot and uncomfortable it is.

There are other times in our lives when we become quite hot and uncomfortable. When we follow the ego-mind and do things that are not in our best interest.

We hate ourselves and we hate others.
We are jealous and envious.
We commit murder in our minds.
And stir up dis-ease in our bodies.

And this makes us hot and uncomfortable because it does not feel good.

We did not come here for that.

We came to fulfill the promise of being our best selves, to live and let live, and to know when to let go.

The northeast trades in our lives are to keep us in love, happiness, peace, and joy.

Chase the heat away and let the breezes blow.
