Kenny Down — Author of Books for Mindful Living

Here is the book trailer for my newest book Darko "The Sacred Heart of One Johanee Darko" buff.ly/34yvypb You can purchase the book at buff.ly/3oh6ivE and other fine book retailers. Thank you to so many for all the wonderful support!

Part Two: Only through self-sacrifice, service to others, fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, sexual orientation, national origin, or income we find that we've left the world as a more loving home. We will be healed. KD

Part One: We can make ourselves feel better! That is easy, take a nap, go to the spa, turn off our devices, read a book, take a vacation. We will feel better, but we will not be healed. The feeling we get may be short lived, soon lost. So, it has been with me. KD

We didn't hear The Church Bells ring. The Preacher Man didn't knock nor sing. Nevertheless, we were led limping our way towards Home. Today we know: Somewhere the Bells rang. And a prayer was said for grace and a soul to be saved. KD

Sometimes we need to listen to a song. Sing when you are frightened, listen when you are strong. Sing when you are happy, listen when you are wrong. KD

Sometimes we need to sing, sometimes we need to listen to a song. When we know the difference, we will know when to sing along. KD

@RGIII Oregon is a two loss team and you think they should be in the playoffs?

If we are being real, both Washington and Oregon should be in the playoff.

Self - Esteem vs. God - Esteem In a attempt to build self-esteem we love the idea of having social status, admiration from others, a boastful view of past achievements, current and past possessions, and association with prominent citizens. These turn out to be fool's gold.

@StoneLarry Scott Servais did not have this team ready to go after spring training. Even though they had their amazing run, the year has been a series of let downs. Servais is another, Wedge, Wakamatsu, and long list of nice guys. He needs to go. the Mariners can do better. Scott must go.

New column: After another September loss, the Mariners’ season is slip-sliding away | The Seattle Times seattletimes.com/sports/mariner…

@melindagates What if the help we need is not coming from the top. I believe and supported many candidates that are committed to helping the social and environmental justice issues we all face. What if they are unable to help with the bureaucracy. We also need bottom up leader ship.

@SeattleSports @Mariners @whitesox @global_cu Why isn’t Julio Rodriguez playing? Isn’t it strange that he has two nights off? I’ve never heard of that.

The @Mariners & @whitesox continue their series next on @SeattleSports and the Global Credit Union (@global_cu) #Mariners Radio Network. Stream live in WA, OR, ID, MT, AK & BC on the @SeattleSports App: bit.ly/710apps

The large tree takes the breath away from the sinner and the saint. The sinner gasps, wrong about so many things. The saint wells up, righteous in their long walk. Does it matter in the forest if you have been right, or have wasted your life? KD

"Don't miss the forest because of the ugliness of some of its trees" applies if you still see ugly trees Realize that the tree is deformed because of a hard windblown life; then we see the beauty, we see the forest See all people in the like, see the beauty of the human race KD

In the Spiritual Realm it is required of us to strive to be heard. But only when there is someone listening who is struggling to hear a message of hope and seeking an answer. KD

As Spiritual people we proclaim on this day that the "Everyman for themselves." experiment has failed. We know the Truth. We are all one, separated from our fellows we wither and die. Separated by our own crises or pushed aside by arrogant bullies makes no difference. KD

Having more women at all levels of government will make government work better—and there’s a realistic path to getting there. In my latest op-ed, I reflect on what it’ll take to make our government truly representative of the people it serves. m-gat.es/3pidHQv

Nothing more purely produces the strength to propel us through the spiritual experience than our deepest sorrows, most difficult times, harm caused to others, and the harms that befell us. All come to be seen as the most nourishing spiritual food in existence. #NewThought KD

@RyanDivish Scott Servais didn’t ever have this team playing up to thier potential he takes decent players, gets them uninspired and lackluster. We need a new manager

Eugenio Suarez as he walked Scott Servais, “I’m still here.”

What if the offerings of God were time specific? Like this day they would never come to pass in the same way again. Use them or lose them! Whether this is the Truth matters not! If we act as if then we are compelled to use what we know of Gods principles in our lives today.

@RyanDivish @BigIrishman16 We need a new manager. No trade will ever get us deep into the playoffs so long as Scott Servais is the manager. Nice guy but not the leader this team deserves.

@BigIrishman16 Let's be real. I don't make any decisions on this stuff.

Logan Gilbert on the trade deadline:

@StoneLarry @RyanDivish And yet you refuse to believe this has anything to do with a milk toast manager that should be fired. How many players need to be under his management that under perform before they send Scott Servais packing?
