Beauty comes from a spirit that has weathered many hardships in life and somehow continues with resilience.
Grace can be found in a soul that ages softly even amid the tempest.
I think the loveliest by far is the one whose gentle heart
bears a hundred scars from caring,
yet still finds a way to pick up the lamp one more time,
to light the way of love.
~Susan Frybort
his melancholy madness,
stood up in the boat
and the sea lay down,
silky and sorry.
So everybody was saved
that night.
when something
different crosses
the threshold - the uncles
mutter together,
the women walk away,
the young brother begins
to sharpen his knife.
It comes and goes
like the wind over the water -
sometimes, for days,
you don't think of it.
after the multitude was fed,
one or two of them felt
the soul slip forth
like a tremor of pure sunlight
before exhaustion,
that wants to swallow everything,
gripped their bones and left them
miserable and sleepy,
as they are now, forgetting
how the wind tore at the sails
before he rose and talked to it -
as he always was -
a thousand times more frightening
than the killer storm.

-the first and last pillar upon which the castle of the Spirit is built.
It is the beginning and the end,
the home and the journey there.

Watch the turmoil of beings
but contemplate their return.
If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
And when death comes, you are ready.
Chuang Tzu
if you want the mysteries to open up for you.
Mysteries never open up for those who go on questioning. Questioners sooner or later end up in a library.
Questioners sooner or later end up with scriptures,
because scriptures are full of answers.
And answers are dangerous,
they kill your wonder.

(2/28/16 8:15AM: THIS ARRIVES FROM JAN WHO MAGNIFICENTLY GUIDES THE HIGH DECK ROOFTOP YOGA SESSIONS NEAR OUR HOME)
The goal of yoga is to create space where you are once stuck, to unveil the layers of protection you’ve built around your heart. To appreciate your body and become aware of the mind and the noise it creates.
To make peace with who you are.
The Goal is to LOVE, well---YOU.
Come to your yoga mat to feel, not to accomplish.
Shift your focus and your heart will grow.

The Remembrance of the Archetypes already experienced and ie no ability to remain possessed by them.

Like the weak fibers that acquire great strength when braided into a rope
illusion repeated innumerable times in memory acquires the strength of reality.

In REALITY, nothing is actually done.

so much of our ability to love comes from our innate senses, from our capacity toward wonderment, from our willingness to be real.......
Sweet Jesus, talking
his melancholy madness,
stood up in the boat
and the sea lay down,
silky and sorry.
So everybody was saved
that night.
But you know how it is
when something
different crosses
the threshold - the uncles
mutter together,
the women walk away,
the young brother begins
to sharpen his knife.
Nobody knows what the soul is.
It comes and goes
like the wind over the water -
sometimes, for days,
you don't think of it.
Maybe, after the sermon,
after the multitude was fed,
one or two of them felt
the soul slip forth
like a tremor of pure sunlight
before exhaustion,
that wants to swallow everything,
gripped their bones and left them
miserable and sleepy,
as they are now, forgetting
how the wind tore at the sails
before he rose and talked to it -
tender and luminous and demanding
as he always was -
a thousand times more frightening
than the killer storm.

Such rapture, then, is arguably the highest expression of our intimacy (or completeness) with the mystery of life. It is the point where the mind and heart merge in the overwhelming grace and splendor of Being. It is the shattering of all lesser realities, the divination of the profane, and the apotheosis of the damned. It is the soul's remembrance of Paradise, the mind's remembrance of innocence, and the heart's remembrance of infinite love.
That is, we fall into wonder and begin to dwell in the inexhaustible state of creation's majesty, not when we try to build up understandings and perspectives, but, instead, when we become exhausted of all logic, reason, ideas, and profane perceptions.
In fact, we grasp onto static ideas, perspectives, and preconceptions about what life is to our own detriment. For, to not wonder, to not see the miracle of life at every moment, to not continually open ourselves, completely embracing the ever-present beauty and implausibility of all that is, is to exist within the prison of a limiting context.
