if it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need.
There's nothing to believe.
Only when I stopped believing in myself did I come into this beauty.
Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say,
'Be more silent.'
Die and be quiet.
Quietness is the surest sign that you've died.
Your old life was a frantic running from silence.
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.
Rumi

You cannot meet God through the mind,
nor experience the timeless through time.
Only with freedom from thought
and from mental cravings and ambitions
does the energy become
whole, tranquil and pure.
will invite the hidden divinity.
with its silence and fullness within,
awaits in readiness to meet the divine,
to experience that which is beyond the mind.
beyond the frontiers of the mind,
within the sanctuary of silence,
resides the supreme intelligence,
the timeless divine.
Dada Gavand
I trust what comes in silence
and what comes in nature
where there's no diversion.
I think the lack of stimulation
allows us to hear and
experience a deeper river
that's constant, still,vibrant,
and real.

It's been so long.
the hill I used to sit on.
I'd watch the stars
reflect in the river
when it was tired of
running.

to get there
and another to sit still
in the grass
and another to wait for
the stars to come out
and another
for the river to tire.
taking us away.
But the only time
I'm free of fear is when I drink
from that river.

She protects the innocent,
and defends those who can’t defend themselves.
She loves with her whole heart,
and never with half of her heart.
That kind of ignorance will leave you
in her trail of magic dust.
Every… single… time.
She is everywhere.
She is the unassuming woman at the book store
radiating a quiet confidence you can’t help but notice.
offbeat lady at the park dancing barefoot
and alone to music only she can hear.
offering you a warm meal
and a safe place to rest your head
when you’ve lost your way.
tell-it-like-it-is free spirit
with a rare and everlasting fascination for life.
with her undivided attention.
She is the one who got away.
