Life and death are both concepts,
the one being the absence of the other. 
The sage ignores such transient concepts
and inheres in the noumenal presence
​ which is everything.
It is only matter that undergoes change or transformation and which is subject to birth or death,
while the noumenal presence
remains eternally changeless.

Step Through - Fred LaMotte
As you fall asleep tonight,
do not take this inhalation
for granted.
Honor her like a royal guest.
Picture
Make a spacious tent
of your flesh,
for She who contains
the galaxies
has come to dwell in you,
pouring her gift from the stars
down your backbone.

Picture
Each expiration will lead you
through a silver door,
a mirror of moonlight.
The key is silence.
Step through.
Picture
Follow her rainbow into the void
where wings of astonishment
will carry you from death to death.
A scent of blossoms
from the garden in your body
will guide you home,
enlarged by a memory
of stillness.
Picture
Neither come nor go
and She will lead you
from the mind to the Heart.

When I make things,
I know they are taken to be quiet and small.
I know there may be no place for them.
I know no one is waiting for them.
I know it may be that no one wants them.
But I must make them.
I must.

​AFTERNOON
Picture
​ It is not uncommon for people
to spend their whole life waiting to start living.
The sun never sets.
It is only an appearance due
to the observer’s limited perspective.
And yet,
​ what a sublime illusion it is.
Life isn’t as serious as the mind makes it out to be.
Whatever the present moment contains,
​ accept it as if you had chosen it.
Death is a stripping away of all that is not you.
The secret of life is to
‘die before you die’--
​and find that
​there is no death.
​
Worry pretends to be necessary
​but serves no useful purpose.
All negativity is caused
by an accumulation of psychological time
​and denial of the present.
​Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry
—all forms of fear--
are caused by too much future,
​and not enough presence.
Guilt, regret, resentment,
grievances, sadness, bitterness,
​ and all forms of non-forgiveness
​are caused by too much past,
and not enough presence.
Don’t seek happiness. If you seek it, you won’t find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness.
To recognize one’s own insanity is, of course,
the arising of sanity,
​ the beginning of healing and transcendence.
Realize deeply that the present moment
​ is all you will ever have.

Cancer Provided the Poke I Needed
Devageet


 I have a cancer.
It has stripped away my tomorrows.
My tree of life has been stripped down to essentials.
There is a new purity of intent.
Priorities are put to the test.
Cancer has dissolved procrastination, and
I am left joyous and grateful.
Cancer stole my baggage,
Now, unexpectedly, I fly higher.

Picture
Perhaps I am fooling myself.
How can I know?
Simply by reaching deep into my heart.
There I find joy, good humour, gratitude and delight.
Alone in the night; I wake several times nowadays, the cancer reveals itself as an awakener.
My sleep has been deep but now,
Thanks to oncology, I have surged beyond psychology.
What a Laugh!
Picture
I do not need to know what comes next.
I do need to simply be present here-now.
Laughter, joy, meditation, love, friendship,
Are with me on this surprising journey.
They are here, now, as I write.
Picture
Even this chemotherapy is proving an unexpected friend.
Who could have guessed? Not me.
I remember Osho saying,
Never act out of fear.
Acting out of fear, even if it appears to be right, it is always seen, sooner or later, as wrong.
I search myself for fear.
Is it hiding?
I have not found it yet.
Picture
But the search has found another unexpected jewel:
Meditation and awareness can now penetrate even my sleep.
Cancer provided the poke I needed.
Picture
I had long regarded myself as chairman of the ‘slow learners’ club.
Slow or not, cancer has shown something has happened, and continues to happen.
Yes, I may be fooling myself.
So what!
I am in truth, consciousness and bliss.
Picture
Sitting here-now, an ancient meditator,
full of cytotoxic drugs,
quietly grieving over the loss of his beard,
I find myself smiling, then laughing out loud.
I am dancing inside.
Picture
I love the ridiculousness of this paradox that is happening.
Who would have guessed?
Not me.

But then, didn’t Osho say,
Death comes dancing.
Picture
This here-now does not feel like death,
more like enhanced life.
Whatever comes, whenever, I am ready,
Grateful far beyond these poor words.

Coming to Terms with Nothingness
What we call emptiness and nothingness
is merely a relative notion or experience,
like moving from the positive to the negative
before both eventually fall away
and all that remains is what Is.
Picture
Nevertheless,
if there is any aspect of this journey
I would stress or emphasize,
it is the evident necessity of finally coming to terms
with the nothingness and emptiness of existence,
which, for me,
seemed to be the equivalent
of living out my life without God –
or any such substitute.
Picture
Only when this came about,
only when the acclimation
to a life without an ultimate reality
was complete,
when there was no hope,
no trust remaining,
only when I have finally to accept what is,
did I suddenly realize that what is,
is Truth itself and all that Is.
Picture
I had to discover
it was only when every single,
subtle, experience and idea
– conscious and unconscious –
has come to an end, a complete end,
that it is possible for the
Truth to reveal Itself.

​MID-MORNING SESSION - OCEAN "OFFICE" SPACE




​AFTERNOON
Picture
The restlessness in the human heart
will never be finally stilled
by any person, project, or place.
Picture
The longing is eternal.
This is what constantly qualifies and enlarges
our circles of belonging.
There is a constant and vital tension
between longing and belonging.
Picture
 Without the shelter of belonging,
our longings would lack direction, focus, and context;
they would be aimless and haunted,
constantly tugging the heart
in a myriad of opposing directions.
Picture
Without belonging,
our longing would be demented.
Picture
As memory gathers and anchors time,
so does belonging shelter longing.
Belonging without longing
​ would be empty and dead,
a cold frame around emptiness.

John O'Donohue

A long dark curve is the poem in your body
is the river
is the loon's throat. 
Have you ever asked yourself how
the loon's voice
opens? 
​
Picture
You know it first as change in the body. 
Even if the blue place you are dreaming
is no longer there
you must begin. 
Something that desires to lift
these heavy bones
something simple 
and beautiful
miraculous as a feather
forms along the blade
of each wing. 
​
Picture
Poised, no longer
settled
you wait as every part of you sheds
what once was, 
and is no longer
necessary. 
​
Picture
Close to shore you prepare. 
And what will it cost you? 

And what is this 
haunting and wild, now
still in your throat, now
trembling
Set it free
whatever it may cost you
set it free.

Let the rest 
in this rested place 
rest for you.
Let the birds sing 
and the geese call
and the sky race
from west to east 
when you cannot raise 
a wing to fly. 
Picture
Let evening
trace your loss 
in the stonework
of a fading sky.
So that 
you can give up
and give in
and be given back to.
Picture
So that you can let
winter
come and live
fully inside you,
so that
you can
retrace
the loving path
of heartbreak 
that brought you here. 
​
Picture
So you can cry alone
and be alone
so you can let 
yourself alone
to be lost,
so you can
let the one 
you have lost
alone, 
so that
you can let
the one 
you have lost 
have their 
own life 
and even
their own 
death
without you.
Picture
So the world
and everyone 
who has ever lived 
and ever died
can come and go 
as they please. 
So you can
let yourself 
not know, what 
not knowing 
means. 
Picture
So that
you can be
even more generous 
in your letting go
than they 
were 
in their leaving.
 So that you can
let winter be winter.
So that you can let 
the world alone
to think of spring.

​AFTERNOON
Picture
Rivers to the Sea

We hear people speak of having a 'bucket list',
a list of experiences or things they feel
are so important they must do them
or have them before they die.
Picture
Recently a priest who is also a chaplain at a hospital,
​ gave a homily on this subject.
He spoke of what it is like to talk to people
lives are nearing the end,
how they express that feeling of incompleteness.
He said he also feels it,
that their lives need some completion,
one more good deed,
more confession to their brother or sister,
in order to come to a peaceful end. 

Monday's quote from Ecclesiastes
makes the point that our life, like a river,
does not come to an end
​but rather flows into the greater sea.
Picture
This means we can relax and let go of the idea
that we must be 'enlightened' or in the unitive state,
if not the ‘no-self’, before the end.

Your life and mine are like a river
flowing inevitably to the sea,
coming from God and returning to It.
Remembering our beginning and our ending
is good preparation for that return.
For those of us (myself included)
who have reached their ‘senior years’,
I would like to recommend another book by
Father Ron Rolheiser;
this one is called The Sacred Fire.
The book, in his words, is about what he calls
the 3 stages of adult life,
 first: the struggle to get our lives together, 
second: the struggle to give our lives away, and
 third: the final stage,
the struggle to
​ give our death away.
This final stage is largely foreign to us;
after a life of activity, then comes the opportunity to learn passivity, as in the “Passion of Jesus Christ”
– remembering that the word ‘passion’
comes from the Latin ‘passio’,
​ meaning ‘passivity’.
There are deep ideas in this book
if you are ready to hear them
​ and need to hear them.

Picture
Instead of getting rid of ego,
the idea is to become very conscious of ego
and how it works.
Only by getting to know ego intimately
will it lose its power to keep us spinning.

The heart of practice is to notice all of this
and rest in the middle of it all,
not trying to fix or alter anything.

Picture
Whatever arises,
we can practice just being there
with as much ease, curiosity,
and openness as possible.
Picture
We can work on noticing and experiencing
all this activity of our minds-
doing nothing with it
beyond simply noticing.
Picture
Our journey toward living without ego
is to learn how to let go,
relax, take a chance, wait and see,
and never sum ourselves up.

​this home
There is a quiet light that shines in every heart.
It draws no attention to itself
though it is always secretly there.

It is what illuminates
our minds to see beauty,
our desire to seek possibility
and our hearts to love life.
Without this subtle quickening
our days would be empty and wearisome,
and no horizon would ever awaken our longing.
Our passion for life is quietly sustained
from somewhere in us
that is wedded to the energy and excitement of life.

This shy inner light is what enables us
to recognize and receive our very presence here
as blessing.
We enter the world as strangers
who all at once become heirs to a harvest
of memory, spirit, and dream that has long preceded us
​ and will now enfold, nourish, and sustain us.

~John O'Donohue
​https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/01/25/31562/
This breakage within us
is what makes us human and vulnerable.
There is nothing more sinister
than someone whose mind
seems to be an absolute circle;
there is a helpless coldness
and a deadly certainty
​ about such a presence.

In our loneliness and isolation
and seemingly perpetual impulse
toward self-distraction
in the service of
finding a moment of meaningful connection,
there is a deep longing,
a yearning,
usually unconscious or ignored,
to belong, to be part of a larger whole,
to not be anonymous,
to be seen and known.
For relationality, exchange, give-and-take,
especially on an emotional plane,
is how we are reminded that we have
a place in this world,
how we know in our hearts
that we actually do belong
and make a difference.
It is deeply satisfying to experience
meaningful connection with others.
We hunger to be perceived by others,
to be both noticed and valued for
​ who we actually are,
and not merely for what we do.
And mostly we are not
It is now harder to pay attention to any one thing
and there is more to pay attention to.
Things come at us fast and furious,
relentlessly.
And almost all of it is man-made,
it has thought behind it,
and more often than not,
an appeal to either our greed or our fears.

These assaults on our nervous system
continually stimulate and foster
desire and agitation
rather than contentedness and calmness.
And above all,
if we are not careful,
they rob us of time,
of our moments.

So this morning, in a hotel in New York,
I take a long shower, hoping the hot, anonymous stream might
wash the aches from my heart and the fear from my mind.
Yet once rinsed of my memory and worry,
death takes off its mask and it is only life
trying to get my attention one more time.
Picture
But I insist, I have never taken any of this for granted.
And now, from the inside, I can see the story of the Universe
in the homeless man’s eye,
and the kindness of time in the sun
off the thunderstorm puddle,
which will evaporate by noon.
​
Picture
Like me.
Like you.
Now life appears as a small bird drinking from the puddle.
So that’s it.
All our efforts come down to one life
offering itself as a drink to another
before we evaporate into everything else.
​
It makes me sad to think that you and I will vanish.
But the way this works is elegant:
the expending of one life
till it is seamlessly absorbed in the next.
​
And so, this morning,
​these thoughts hardly seem my own.

Courage is the measure of our heartfelt
participation with life, with another,
with a community, a work;
a future.
To be courageous is not necessarily
to go anywhere or do anything
except to make conscious those things
we already feel deeply
and then to live through the unending vulnerabilities
of those consequences.
To be courageous
is to seat our feelings deeply in the body
and in the world:
to live up to and into the necessities of relationships
that often already exist,
with things we find we already care deeply about:
with a person, a future, a possibility in society,
or with an unknown that begs us on
and always has begged us on.
Picture
Courage is what love looks like
when tested by the simple everyday
​necessities of being alive.

​ONLY THE NOURISHMENT
OF ORIGINAL ESSENCE SUFFICETH

ew
3:01 AM-1/24/20

i was dead
i came alive
i was tears
i became laughter
all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal

love said to me
you are not
crazy enough
you don’t
fit this house
i went and
became crazy
crazy enough
to be in chains
​

love said
you are not
intoxicated enough
you don’t
fit the group​
i went and
got drunk
drunk enough
to overflow
with light-headedness
​

love said
you are still
too clever
filled with
imagination and skepticism
​i went and
became gullible
and in fright
pulled away
from it all
love said
you are a candle
attracting everyone
gathering every one
​around you
i am no more
a candle spreading light
i gather no more crowds
and like smoke
i am all scattered now
love said
you are a teacher
you are a head
and for everyone
you are a leader
​

i am no more
not a teacher
not a leader
just a servant
to your wishes​
love said
you already have
your own wings
i will not give you
more feathers
​

and then my heart
pulled itself apart
and filled to the brim
with a new light
overflowed with fresh life
now even the heavens
are thankful that
because of love
i have become
the giver of light

AFTERNOON

In the Garden of The Beloved
November 27, 2019 · 

It occurred to me…
There was a time when my Soul Shone, unobscured,
By all that would accrue upon my Naked Innocence,
When the Ecstasy of Being was unalloyed by selfhood,
And I existed as my Essence
.
There was a time, before I learned a language,
Before the inner voice began its endless dialog,
Before I came to feel my self as the thinker,
When I was simply Perception.
Picture
There was a time before all that is experienced,
Was wrapped in words, concepts, and images,
Overlaying every perception with the already known,
A time when I was simply Immediacy.
Picture
There was a time, before the felt sense of my self,
Qualified and conditioned in countless ways,
Came to feel dense, isolated, and alone,
A time when I was simply Experience.
Picture
There was a time, before boy-girl; fat-thin, gifted-dim;
Smart-dull; attractive-unattractive; admired-disdained,
A time before qualifications and attributions,
When I simply Was.
Picture
And I wondered if, before these Veils enshrouded me,
The Ecstasy of Being I sought so desperately,
Might simply be the Nature of what I Am, Before
.
Picture
And so I Journeyed within, back, behind, before,
All that had accrued “upon” my naked Innocence,
Until only Perception Remained.
Picture
Past the felt sense of myself as a person,
Qualified and judged by myself and others,
Until only Experience Remained.
 
​
Picture
Past the attributes that had defined the person,
Birthing a relentless concern for stature,
In the eyes of others, and in my own.
Picture
Past the words, concepts, and images that cloaked,
And dulled every perception with the already known,
Until only Immediacy Remained.
Within, past all that was not my Essence I Journeyed,
Until I, and all that existed, Vanished utterly,
And somehow, impossibly…
Picture
 I Remained, not as “I”, but Existence Itself.
Picture
 And Returning, I saw that it had been as I’d thought,
For the Ecstasy of Being is simply the Nature,
Of what we Are, before we are.

Should you really
open your eyes and see,
you would behold
your image in all images…

And should you
open your ears and listen,
you would hear your own voice
in all voices…
—Kahlil Gibran

The soul has been given its own ears to hear
things the mind does not understand.

Picture
I am too alone in the world, and not alone enough
to make every minute holy.
I am too tiny in this world,
and not tiny enough
just to lie before you like a thing,
shrewd and secretive.

I want my own will,
and I want simply to be with my will,
as it goes toward action, and in the silent,
sometimes hardly moving times
when something is coming near,
I want to be with those who know secret things
or else alone. 

I want to be a mirror for your whole body,
and I never want to be blind,
or to be too old to hold up your old and swaying picture.

​ I want to unfold.
I don’t want to stay folded anywhere,
because where I am folded,
there I am a lie.
And I want my grasp of things true before you.

I want to describe myself like a painting
that I looked at closely for a long time,
like a saying that I finally understood,
like the pitcher I use every day,
like the face of my mother,
like a ship that took me safely
​through the wildest storm of all.


—Rainer Maria Rilke

If You Seek Reality - Nisargadatta & Adyashanti


If you seek Reality
you must set yourself free
of all 
backgrounds, of all cultures,
of all patterns of thinking 
and feeling.

Even the idea of being a man or a woman,
or even human, 
should be discarded. 

​ The Ocean of Life contains all,

not only humans.
Picture
So first abandon all self-identification,
stop thinking of

yourself as such-and-such, so-and-so,
this or that. 
​
Abandon
all self-concern,
worry not about your welfare, material or 
spiritual,
abandon every desire, gross or subtle,
stop thinking of 
achievement of every kind.

You are complete, as you are...


Nisargadatta

Picture
You have to be willing to ask, "Who am I?"
or "What am I?"
without any script or role,
without the story about
who you are and what you are,
releasing the script of what you think
your life is about.
  Every sense of identity has its script - like,
"I'm a spiritual seeker." 
We each have a specific role
and our stories about that role. 
But our roles and stories are not
what we are...

Picture
When you start to realize what the truth is,
you wake up from the story of you. 
You recognize that truth is not an abstraction,
it is not something to learn. 
You discover that truth is who you
are without a script or role...
Picture
There is a state in which mind says,
"I have no idea who I am",
because it can't find the right script. 
Awakening is the realization that happens
after the mind says,"I give up.
  I just have no idea who I am." 
When you start to understand this,
you realize that if you put down your script
and just drop the
roles for a moment,
you are not
what you have taken yourself
to be.
Picture
What you are without your role
is often assumed to be hidden.
So when you look past your character called "me"
for the truth of your being,
you may think there's someone to find who is
somewhere hidden. 
Picture
Looking for the "enlightened Self"
is just another role, another script. 
If you drop the script, what are you?
Enlightenment is to have no script...

Give up the script, the role, the identity -
even it is to have no identity..

"Shadow Love..."

Don't try to cover things over with a pretense of love...
a shadow love.
Just let things be as they are.
Your responsibility is to be real, authentic -
maintaining integrity.
There is great healing in this.
Maintain your integrity through authenticity.

Go beyond the shadow of love...
Picture
Don't allow love to be a pawn, manipulated by the
fingers of delusion,
misdirected energies and perceptions.

Don't aspire to love - but aspire to be real.
Be clear and transparent.
When love is just a covering,
an egoic pretense, it dissipates.
Let love dissipate to reveal what's beyond
love's shadow...

Don't be fooled by the magician's love.
There is something beyond "love"
as we define love.
It is Presence.
Being genuinely present from the place
of authenticity...

Love is that Presence living us...

​Love Says…by Alain Joly
​

The mind is busy, talkative, restless.
Love is vast, silent, unconcerned.
I share here an imagined dialogue between love and the mind,
written by Tiger Singleton…

~
Love seems to hurt, because love is incredibly honest.
The mind screams… “I want your love.”

Love says… “I’m sorry, but you can’t,
​because in order to want me,
you think I’m not already here.
So you deny yourself,
by looking for me where I am not.

Demanding, I show up in ways
that say you are more important
​than everything else I touch.
The mind cries, and says…
“But don’t you love me?”


Love whispers back…
“No, It’s not like that,
my love isn’t personal,
my Love IS.

You want to be special,
rather than being what is,
​ which is where I Am.”
Picture
The mind… “I don’t understand.”

Love… “You never will.
To think you understand me,
is to define me,
which is to restrict my flow,
saying some are worthy and some are not
and you desperately want to be the worthy one.

You want me to come to you,
rather than you, 
​falling into what I already am.”
The mind… “How can I surrender into you?”
Love… “You can’t,
because I’ve already surrendered, everything,
​ including you.
You are free, it’s already done.”
​
The mind… “What should I do?”
Love… “It doesn’t matter,
I love you regardless,
I support you regardless,
I am always with the present moment,
so rest here.
Feel me.
And then see what happens.

In this space,
you simply cannot go wrong.”
​

The mind… 🙏🏽

which will not withdraw from us.

Rumi ♡ Drunk

you are drunk
and i'm intoxicated
no one is around
showing us the way home


again and again
i told you
drink less
a cup or two
i know in this city
no one is sober
one is worse than the other
one is frenzied and
the other gone mad


come on my friend
step into the tavern of ruins
taste the sweetness of life
in the company of another friend
​here you'll see
at every corner
someone intoxicated
and the cup-bearer
makes her rounds
Picture
i went out of my house
a drunkard came to me
someone whose glance
uncovered a hundred
houses in paradise

rocking and rolling
he was a sail
with no anchor but
he was the envy of all those sober ones
remaining on the shore
Picture
where are you from i asked
he smiled in mockery and said
one half from the east
one half from the west
one half made of water and earth
one half made of heart and soul
one half staying at the shores and
one half nesting in a pearl
Picture
i begged
take me as your friend
i am your next of kin
he said i recognize no kin
among strangers
i left my belongings and
entered this tavern
i only have a chest
full of words
but can't utter
a single one

A Different World - Harlan Hubbard

... I myself, I require a more direct revelation,
not one that must come through so many minds
before it reaches mine.
I must have faith that I can see and hear,
that I can feel without thinking, or even trying to put into words.
It's not for anyone else, it's personal...
Picture
The interval of solitude is precious.
It is a different world and I am a different self.
I feel relieved of a responsibility that cannot be defined.
I am released from pressure, my mind is free.

Yet, would I not feel a lack of balance if I lived alone all the time?


Harlan Hubbard
1900-1988
from his journal, 1959
Picture
Harlan Hubbard was an American painter, writer and poet
who lived a very simple life riding the Missouri and Mississippi
Rivers with his wife Anna in a shanty boat, eventually
settling down in Kentucky.

With thanks to The Beauty We Love
When you find that your long cherished beliefs

SECOND SET OF WINGS...JUST A FEW FEET AWAY FROM FIRST SET....UNUSUAL TO FIND ANY WINGS ON BEACH NOW....
As water is serene when free of ripples,
so is the mind serene when free of thought, 
when it is passive and fully receptive.

When quiet, the mind reflects Reality. 
When absolutely motionless,
it dissolves and only Reality remains.

The human soul is like the wild that eventually,

The human soul will engineer
situations to bypass

Charles Eisenstein

http://www.unique-design.net/library/word/spirit/soul.html​
(See above link for many more excellent quotes re: SOUL)
 It is a moral achievement on the part of the doctor,
who ought not to let himself be repelled
by sickness and corruption. 
We cannot change anything unless we accept it.
Condemnation does not liberate,
it oppresses “unprejudiced objectivity.” ..... 
​  ...
Picture
I am the oppressor of the person I condemn,
not his friend and fellow-sufferer.
I do not in the least mean to say that we must never pass judgment when we desire to help and improve.
But if the doctor wishes to help a human being
he must be able to accept him as he is.
 
And he can do this in reality
only when he has already seen and accepted himself
​as he is.

Picture
look at the unity of this

look at love...
how it tangles
with the one fallen in love

look at spirit
how it fuses with earth
giving it new life

why are you so busy
with this or that or good or bad
pay attention to how things blend
why talk about all
the known and the unknown
see how unknown merges into the known

why think separately
of this life and the next
when one is born from the last

look at your heart and tongue
one feels but deaf and dumb
the other speaks in words and signs
Picture
look at water and fire
earth and wind
enemies and friends all at once

the wolf and the lamb
the lion and the deer
far away yet together

look at the unity of this
spring and winter
manifested in the equinox
Picture
you too must mingle my friends
since the earth and the sky
are mingled just for you and me
​
be like sugarcane
sweet yet silent
don't get mixed up with bitter words

my beloved grows
right out of my own heart
how much more union can there be?

****
All will come again into its strength:
the fields undivided, the waters undammed,
the trees towering and the walls built low.
And in the valleys,
people as strong and varied as the land.

And no churches where God
is imprisoned and lamented
like a trapped and wounded animal.
The houses welcoming all who knock
and a sense of boundless offering
in all relations, and in you and me.

No yearning for an afterlife,
no looking beyond,
no belittling of death,
but only longing for what belongs to us
and serving earth,
lest we remain unused.

5:16 AM-1/19/20
(as the above Whisper Wrote,
there was NO conscious memory
of the first four quotes (green font below)
that were saved during the last two days...
​ for today's Offering)
Picture
Each one of us is alone in the world.
It takes great courage to meet
the full force of your aloneness.
Most of the activity in society is subconsciously designed
to quell the voice crying in the wilderness within you.
​
The mystic Thomas Kempis said
that when you go out into the world,
you return having lost some of yourself.

Until you learn to inhabit your aloneness,
the lonely distraction and noise of society will seduce
you into false belonging,
with which you will only become empty and weary.
Picture
When you face your aloneness,
something begins to happen.
Gradually, the sense of bleakness changes
into a sense of true belonging.

This is a slow and open-ended transition
but it is utterly vital
in order to come into rhythm
with your own individuality.
Picture
In a sense this is the endless task
of finding your true home within your life.

It is not narcissistic,
for as soon as you rest
in the house of your own heart,
doors and windows begin to open
outwards to the world.
​
Picture
No longer on the run from your aloneness,
your connections with others
become real and creative.
Picture
You no longer need to covertly
scrape affirmation from others
or from projects outside yourself.

​This is slow work;
it takes years to bring your mind home.

~John O'Donohue

(REMAINING 'GREEN FONT' quotes below in AFTERNOON section)






​
AFTERNOON
The sick part of living in a capitalistic world
is that it feels like
we always have a carrot in front of us.

– Rodney Yee

Take No Notice

We should meet abuse by forbearance.
Human nature is so constituted
that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse,
the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.



“Patience is the highest asceticism.”
​

 This is a quote attributed to the Buddha,
from the 184th verse of the Dhammapada.

Mahatma Gandhi
A parting of the veil
If we remain too identified with “falling apart,”
we lose contact with that which was never unhealed,
untransformed, and was never “together” to begin with.

That innate radiance, the holiness of the breath,
and the miracle of having an open sensitive nervous system.
We disconnect with the magic of embodied presence,
the wisdom of the mud and the earth,
​and the unshakable confidence in our true nature.
But if we remain too identified with “holding it all together,”
we split off from our organic spontaneity,
imaginative vulnerability, and the truth
that love will take whatever form it must
to reveal its qualities within us.

Raw, achy, illuminating
heartbreak may approach at any time,
requesting safe passage inside.
But it is through this broken aliveness
that the poetry of our lives will flow.
Right in the middle of
“falling apart” and “holding it together”
is the secret place.
Go there.

It is here where light and dark are at play.
For just a moment the veil parts.
​ We peer behind the curtain and are astonished.

Jeff Foster 

http://alovinghealingspace.blogspot.com/2020/01/a-parting-of-veil.html
When you find that your long cherished beliefs
do not agree with your direct experience,
trust your experience. 
​ Prefer the truth of your
experience to your dearest delusions...

Effortlessly,
Love flows from God to man,
Like a bird
Who rivers the air

Without moving her wings.

Thus we move in His world
One in body and soul,
Though outwardly separate in form.

As the Source strikes the note,
Humanity sings -
The Holy Spirit is our harpist,
And all the strings
Which are touched in Love
Must sound.

—Mechtild of Magdeburg
(1210-1282)

Love what you do and do what you love.
Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it.
You do what you want, what you love.
Imagination should be the center of your life. 
​ Ray Bradbury
Love, and do as you like!

Stupidity is sufficient unto itself.
​ Wisdom can never learn enough.

Mechthild of Magdeburg







AFTERNOON
Picture
A fish cannot drown in water,
A bird does not fall in air.
In the fire of creation,
God doesn't vanish:
The fire brightens.
Each creature God made
must live in its own true nature;
How could I resist my nature,
That lives for oneness with God?

Mechthild of Magdeburg
Picture
A Light of utmost splendor glows
on the eyes of my soul.
Therein have I seen the
inexpressible ordering of all things,
and recognized God's unspeakable glory
-- that incomprehensible wonder --
the tender caress between God and the soul...
the unmingled joy of union,
the living love of eternity as it now is
and evermore shall be.

Mechthild of Magdeburg
I was created in love.
For that reason
nothing can express my beauty
​ nor liberate me
except love alone.

Mechthild of Magdeburg
Daily Quote – January 18, 2020
Because others cannot vibrate in your experience,
they cannot affect the outcome of your experience.
They can hold their opinions,
but unless their opinion affects your opinion,
their opinion matters not at all.
​
A million people could be pushing against you,
and it would not negatively affect you unless you push back.
They are affecting what happens in their experience.
They are affecting their point of attraction--
but it does not affect you
unless you push against them.
​

Abraham (Esther Hicks)
https://www.abraham-hicks.com/?mc_cid=47f89d5253&mc_eid=70b37346bf
Don’t cling to whatever plane of reality you’re in,
including this one,
because a free being is not bound
​by any plane of reality whatsoever.

– Ram Dass
Picture
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves,
like locked rooms and like books
that are now written in a very foreign tongue.

Do not now seek the answers,
which cannot be given you
because you would not be able to live them.

And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually,
without noticing it,
​live along some distant day into the answer.

Ancient Wisdom
It might be 
   The final test of man, the narrow way 
   Proving him worthy of immortal life 
   That he should face this darkness and this death 
   Worthily, and renounce all easy hope, 
   All consolation, all but the simple smile  
      Upon the face of Truth…

(From the Book of Earth, an ancient Egyptian funerary text.)

https://contemplativedaybook.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-final-test.html
For silence is not God,
nor is speaking;
fasting is not God,
nor is eating;
aloneness is not God,
nor is company;
nor yet or all of such opposites.
He is hid between them,
​and may not be found

by any work of your soul,
but only by love of your heart."

Discretion of Stirrings, 17th century

As a pearl is formed and its layers grow,

Silence of the mind which is the result of
  deep understanding,
that meditation is a natural,
spontaneous meditation
which just happens....
....When you truly realize that
this lie and living is an absurdity,
then you join in the dance. 
​
You take part in this absurdity. 
The body-mind organism continues to live in the world,
but without any sense of personal doership.
The Net of Jewels
Ramesh S. Balsekar
January 16
Problems need to be dissolved, not solved,
because there is no solution. 
The only way the problems get dissolved is,
as soon as they arise,
​they are merely witnessed. ...
...  When Truth is realized, there is neither
bondage nor liberation. 
​
Both the worlds we dream of when asleep
and this world we dream while awake
will have disappeared into the cosmic dissolution,
which is the equivalent of
the state of deep sleep.

The Net of Jewels
Ramesh S. Balsekar
January 17
To be free of the obsession
With the future,
With the preoccupation of
What to do next, is
Most well regarded by those that
Others label as lazy.
Even if it were so,
It would be
The highest form of laziness.
In every moment
Wu Hsin is doing
Exactly what he is supposed to be
Doing.
He knows this because
He knows that
He is not
Doing anything. ​
Wu Hsin cannot guarantee that
Meditating will bring peace.
However, Wu Hsin can guarantee that
Doing nothing will bring you life.
Wu Hsin

I love this time-
​ the in-between time,
the time after all the gatherings and lights.​
Picture
It is the crack between the worlds,
the place where dreaming can unfold
and then spiral into being quickly and quietly.
It is a place where, if we want them to,
solitude and silence can surround us
and the soul-hungers we have abandoned
can find us once again.
​
It is a time to listen deeply,
to stay with stillness
open to the impulse
to move from
the deepest part
​ of what we are.

How can I Drown
in
What I AM? 
 
A Transparency that cannot be described to

Nothing out there
causes a Shift within
 
The Within

It matters not
where I am
if I AM
where I am.
Picture
If we do not Remember
planet-entry-Knowing
we are doomed to carry accumulated
contaminations/densities
to the next world at final flight
(or the next moment this day)
Without Raptures
there are no valleys.
All is the Same.
 
Creating something from Nothing.
All fits into that paradigm.
Only Life is forever.

All else passes.
Nothing to cling to.
Nothing to avoid.


Only the not passes.
 The unspeakably-horrible snake
is only a stick
 
In God Alone
there is no struggle.
Only Being.
Creator/Creation as One.
Present in the Presence
of the single moment
Erases all else
but Nothing
​Finally one does not
remember anything
but
Nothing
Picture
Nothing to teach, preach
or share.
However Transmissions
do occur
beyond the Silence.​
Love Threshed me to Nothing
​
Consumed by its Fire
Left as an ash upon the ground
I am now
only the wind
in and of
the Breathless One
Alone
​
All yearning/ longing of my soul
 
Sated & Devoured in
the Great Silence.
​
This is Love
beyond all words & perception
O Joy of this life!
O Breath of this life!
You are me!
I AM You!
 
Beyond Joy!
 
Beyond Breath!
 
O Silent Core of Life
Sustains
The wind has died.
 
Where are the sails? 
Is the boat an illusion, too?
 
How can I drown
in what I AM?
Picture
The form that was needed
is no longer necessary
 
Excess decays
without use and purpose.
 
At long last
no struggle
no pain. 
Picture
Only the unknown is Known
 
The Known is unknown
 
They are the same...birthing Divine Silence.

This aloneness is worth more than a thousand lives.
This freedom is worth more than all the lands on earth.

Is worth more than the world and life itself.

All Rumi Quotes this Afternoon from:
​Translations by  Shahram Shiva

https://www.rumi.net/rumi_poems_main.htm
You think you are alive
because you breathe air?
Shame on you,
that you are alive in such a limited way.
Don't be without Love,
so you won't feel dead.
Die in Love
and stay alive forever.
​
Rumi
This is me: Sometimes hidden and sometimes revealed,
Sometimes a devoted Muslim, sometimes
a Hebrew and a Christian.
For me to fit inside everyone's heart,
I put on a new face everyday.

​Rumi
My head is bursting
with the joy of the unknown.
My heart is expanding a thousand fold.
Every cell,
taking wings,
flies about the world.
All seek separately
the many faces of my love.
Rumi
A true Lover doesn't follow any one religion,
be sure of that.
Since in the religion of Love,
there is no irreverence or faith.
When in Love,
body, mind, heart and soul don't even exist.
Become this Love,
and you will not be separated again.
​
Rumi
I am so drunk
I have lost the way in
and the way out.
I have lost the earth, the moon, and the sky.
Don't put another cup of wine in my hand,
pour it in my mouth,
for I have lost the way to my mouth.

Rumi
Saith the Great Law: —
​"In order to become the knower of ALL SELF (9) thou hast first of self to be the knower."
To reach the knowledge of that self,
thou hast to give up Self to Non-Self,
Being to Non-Being,
and then thou canst repose
between the wings of the GREAT BIRD.
Aye, sweet is rest between the wings
of that which is not born, nor dies,
​but is the AUM (10) throughout eternal ages (11).
Best ride the Bird of Life,
if thou would'st know (12).

I sipped some of love's sweet wine,

My body aches,
my fever is high.
They called in the doctor and he said,
drink this tea!
Ok, time to drink this tea.
He said,
Take these pills!
Ok, time to take these pills.
The doctor said,
And get rid of the sweet wine of love's lips!

Ok, time to get rid of the doctor.

To be fully accepting of
What-Is in every moment,
Eliminates fear and anxiety,
Expectation and desire.
This is the natural way to
Set things right.

The willingness to be awed and
Out of control.

Embrace That which
You seek to avoid;
The fear of absence.
Absence of concepts,
Absence of ideas,
Absence of anyone to have them.
To be fully present therefore requires that
One be fully absent.
This is the Great Emptying.
Wu Hsin gives you the key.
Either you use it
To open the door or
You put it in your pocket with
All the other keys
You have accumulated.
Wu Hsin
Elimination is a key to life.
In the absence of the processes of elimination,
The poisons accumulate and ultimately
The body dies.
What-Is is realized also by
The processes of elimination.
Eliminate all that you think you know.
All your beliefs, and
You find yourself face to face with It.

 Wu Hsin 
Once the great awakening occurs
Whatever ensues afterwards is of no consequence.
Outward signs need not announce
Inner transformation.

 Wu Hsin
 Achieving immortality is easy.
Only set aside
Ownership of body and mind and
Remain rooted in what was there
Before their appearance.

​Wu Hsin
Only that which has been created
 needs to be maintained in order to avoid destruction.
 
Ego is such a maintenance-driven creation. 
Therefore, all efforts to be rid of ego
merely reinforce the sense of identification with it,
 thus maintaining it.
 
Just stop. 
​ You can always re-start.
Stop what you are doing and stop what you are not doing.
Now see what remains.

Embryonic Breathing (Tai Hsi) – also known as Primordial Breathing or Umbilical Breathing
Picture
Embryonic Breathing (Tai Hsi)
– also known as Primordial Breathing or Umbilical Breathing –
refers to the process by which
a Taoist practitioner
 reactivates
the electro-magnetic circuitry
associated with the primordial
“breath” that fetuses have
inside of the womb.

Picture
As this happens,
the physical breathing process
becomes increasingly more subtle,
and then – for periods of time –
may cease altogether.
Picture
In the same way
a fetus “breathes” through the umbilical cord,
the practitioner whose system
has remembered embryonic breathing
is then able to draw life-force energy
directly from the universal matrix,
​ i.e. the “sea of energy”
in which
​ their individual bodymind floats.

Perhaps we set out on the spiritual path
in hopes of gaining something

we count as good in the ‘material':
we want to be a more peaceful person,
to be better able to love and be loved,
gain the high opinion of others,
or even, to take it to its most unfortunate end –
to have some kind of power or influence over others.
Or maybe we set out in order to end or avoid something
we count as bad in the ‘material’ life
such as our own suffering,
the cruelty and pain of others,
the loss or deficiency of any good thing.
​
​All of these reasons mean beginning spiritual life 
in service of the material. 
But if we have a sincere heart and a strong will/desire
to know the Truth, we will be graced
with conversion
(a touch from God that clearly says “I Am”),
and then things will turn around.
We will see that everything in material life,
all of it, good and not so good,
is in service of the spiritual life. 
When we understand this,
then we are getting somewhere.

After living in a Zen Training Center for a few years,
I thought living there was great --
except for the inconveniences.
Later I realized
​ the inconveniences were the whole point!

To succeed in life, you need two things:
ignorance and confidence.

This is the real secret of life –
to be completely engaged

in the here and now.
And instead of calling it work,
realize it is play.

DRAMA ON THE SAND DUNES PATH
just before 11 AM  1/13/20

At 10:47 AM was awakened from a deep sleep...by HUGE OCEAN ROAR and quickly headed out to Mother Ocean to see what could be seen.
In a nutshell, met up with the huge bulldozer that is used for the new construction and also taking out (months ago) all the foliage surrounding/protecting The Dunes Path.

Bulldozer Operator is VERY Gifted and Thorough...we have watched him for months seemingly doing the 
"impossible"....but today was brand new....he agreed he was only "following boss's orders".  
​
Today he was taking load after load of sand back up the hill and towards ocean....this is the sand that had blown up & over the hill from ocean side and down towards the land...as there is NO foliage to knit the sand and keep it from eroding due to ocean winds.









AFTERNOON
Think of this random Universe
where everything is possible.
The organizational skills belong to Law of Attraction.
If you will relax and allow Law of Attraction

 to do the organization and the managing,
then you can spend your time
doing the things that please you.

Abraham (Hicks)

Daily Quote – January 13, 2020
https://www.abraham-hicks.com/?mc_cid=6aab0e1c5e&mc_eid=70b37346bf
The law of attraction is the attractive,
magnetic power of the Universe
that draws similar energies together.
It manifests through the power of creation,
everywhere and in many ways.

Even the law of gravity is part of the law of attraction.
​This law attracts thoughts, ideas, people,
situations and circumstances.


The law of attraction manifests through your thoughts,
by drawing to you thoughts and ideas of a similar kind, people who think like you,
and also corresponding situations and circumstances.

It is the law and power that brings together people of similar interests, who unite into various groups,
such as political groups, sports teams,
​ sports fans, fraternities, etc.

5:27 AM-1/12/20
​* By "embodiment" I mean the act of descent which the soul chooses again and again over the course of a lifetime and the process by which we, as spiritual beings, come to dwell more and more fully as our unique selves in our flesh, bones, and blood on planet earth.

It is becoming clear that spirit resides as much in these choices of embodiment as in those of transcendence,
and that, in fact,
the two are complementary aspects of the process of Soul-realization, taking the meaning of "realization" in both its senses -
becoming aware of who we most are
and making that soul real
through resonant and consistent attitudes
and behaviors
in the world.

Each one of us is called

into that great silence
the more we become capable
​of singing that great song.

​Breath 
by Birago Diop - Senegalese poet

Listen to things more often than to beings.
Hear the voice of the fire, hear the voice of the water,
Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush:
This is the ancestors breathing.
Those who are dead are never gone;…
The dead are not down in the earth:
They are in the trembling of the trees,
In the groaning of the woods,
In the water that runs,
​ in the water that sleeps,
They are in the hut, they are in the crowd…
Those who are dead are not ever gone;
They are in the woman’s breast,
they are in the wailing of a child,
They are in the burning log and in the moaning rock..
They are in the weeping grasses, in the forest and the home…
Picture
Listen to things more often than beings.
Hear the voice of fire, hear the voice of water.
Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush.
This is the ancestors breathing.

AFTERNOON
This is what you shall do:
Love the earth and sun and the animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,

Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labors to others,
Hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
Have patience and indulgence toward the people,

Take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
Or to any man or number of men,
Go freely with powerful uneducated persons,
And with the young and with the mothers of families,

Read these leaves in the open air,
Every season of every year of your life,
Re-examine all you have been told,
At school at church or in any book,

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul,
And your very flesh shall be a great poem,
​
And have the richest fluency not only in its words,
But in the silent lines of its lips and face,

And between the lashes of your eyes,
And in every motion and joint of your body.

You know someone loves you when they put the moon in your tea to calm your worry.
You know someone is honest
when they put what they’ve broken before you,
not out of anger, but softly on a pillow
in the middle of the house.
Picture
You know you’ve found your family
when they come over,
no questions asked,
and listen carefully,
even when you have nothing to say.
And to dream of birds circling ahead of you
as you wander through a sunlit field
means you are about to meet a friend
who will touch your soul.
Picture
But if you dream that you can breathe underwater,
it means you will save someone in the days to come.
We are touched by fantastic things that seldom speak.
So be careful not to turn away the mute angels
who are waiting.

​AFTERNOON
All quotes below in this font from Arif K.
The entire wording is in

Picture
the softness of friendship
melts into relationship
with the divine who beholds the inside
of a rose, spiraling through your eyes
& the silence which proceeds your beholding
gives plasticity to objects, to hate;
makes judgment melt in true friendship;
makes the knot in the heart unravel
& i wish to sense with the organ
of your art.
what does it mean to gaze in the mirror
of the true friend? to hold ones own
inmost gaze in the fire of mutual longing
for the divine. to rise
in seizing the kinetic God
& be stilled as possibilities
are felt in the vibrancy between
words which is the vibrancy of the heart
forged in a common
longing.
a roof is being
built from the aftermath
this over and over again building, a foundation
that caves in, the moment it is erected, & the clacking
branches scrape the roof & we are a tree upside down
bending backwards as though to reach each other before
we apprehend what we are reaching, the swallows forked
in thirds by the pond
& who will ever know what is meant in darkness
when roots are stopped by this kinetic response of air,
the air a tressel, which leaves a sense of knowing.
we can at last say
we know the form of silence, that silence doesn’t brood

is not a premonition as it is a lisping of a name,
the name we lost in fear when we over & over built
a graveyard for yearning, with steel brackets.
this foundation
moves like air & you are not far from letting these bricks fall
because you loved & let the structure fall.
in you, the eye, cleared of confusion
the eye, clarified in the heart
in you, deception dispelled
in you, morality, a stepping stone.
zeal has become clarified
& value is seized.
by you blessed, this eye
from which fish emerge on a pier
a star merged with a full moon &
a tower was illumined;
we fell into water & reemerged when the sky
darkened again; i climbed up the steps of my ancestry
& now this heartbeat in stone,
waiting to be touched by your hourglass
when the heart is opened by the beloved,
or when the fingers trace the heart;

there are lives within lives opening like russian dolls.
occasionally, one catches

the fragrance of a distant rose, spiraled inward,
was the kernel Ramakrishna.
there is no falling.
heat will not make this hour.
the flowers skinned alive, petal by petal
fall on etched glass, where pain is malleable
and moving. the spinning center of your body,
still like a humming bird,
as the hourglass spins and this red festival
of fire falls, shorn from a distant memory.
when the beloved gazes though the lover’s eyes
what is blue and brown, but the symmetry of her hour
where colors melt in eyes touching, and invisible hands made
visible in muteness. i walk a spiral in your heart
and two moons are fused in one, a crescent and a pearl.
i am a fisherman and you are blue.

i have no 
thing to offer you,
but this touch, where i disappear.


you gaze though me at yourself.
you are always only blue. i am brown like the earth
swathed in your sky blue utterance.
    you are cosmos whirling wide
sea breezes on the turf of the tide rise up
like innumerable hands. Breezes bust the waves
and the space between your lips open and
      the cedars rowed in the air,
your soul hovered above the glen, a gleaning
of who you once were,
and shall become when time is set in motion again.​
 you are above the bed post hovering
like angels above a cardinal’s bed of soot and sear, pristine,
i want to surrender to your silence which peels me.

​

The Sound of The Genuine - Howard Thurman

​
There is something in every one of you that waits, listens for
the sound of the genuine in yourself. 
And if you cannot hear it,
you will never find whatever it is
for which you are searching,
and if you hear it and then do not follow it,
it was better that
you had never been born...
Picture
You are the only you that has ever lived;
your idiom [your unique signature]  is the only idiom
of its kind in all of existence
and if you cannot hear the sound
of the genuine in you,
you will all of your life spend your days on the
ends of strings that somebody else pulls...
Picture
There is in you something that waits and listens
for the sound of
the genuine in yourself,
and sometimes there is
so much traffic going on in your minds,
so many different kinds of signals,
so many vast
impulses floating through your organism
that go back thousands of generations,
long before you were even a thought
in the mind of creation,
and you are buffeted by these,
and in the midst of all of this
you have got to find out.....Who you are... 
​ How the sound of
the genuine comes through to you...
Picture
The sound of the genuine is flowing through you. 
Don't be deceived and thrown off
by all the noises that are a part
even of your dreams, your ambitions,
so that you don't hear the sound of the genuine in you,
because that is the only true guide
that you will ever have,
and if you
don't have that
​you don't have a thing.
Picture
You may be famous. 
You may be whatever the other ideals are which
are part of this generation,
but you know you don't have the foggiest
notion of who you are,
where you are going,
what you want.
​
Cultivate the discipline of
listening to
the sound of the genuine in yourself.
Picture
Now there is something in everybody
that waits and listens for the
sound of the genuine in other people. 
And it is so easy to say that
anybody who looks like him or her,
anybody who acts as this person acts,
can't hear any sound of the genuine. 

I must wait and listen for
the sound of the genuine in you.
  I must wait. 
For if I cannot hear it,
then in my scheme of things,
you are not even present. 
And everybody
wants to feel 
that everybody else knows
​ that she is there.
Picture
There is something that waits and listens
for the sound of the genuine
in your mother, in your father, 
in the people you can't stand,
and if you had the power
you would wipe them out. 

But instinctively you
know that if you wipe them out,
​ you go with them.
​
  So you fight for your own life
by finding some way to get along with them
without killing them.
Picture
There is something in you that waits and listens
for the sound of the genuine in other people. 
And if you can't hear it,
then you are reduced by that much.
​
  If I were to ask you what is the thing that you
desire most in life,
you would say a lot of things
off the top of your  head,
most of which you wouldn't believe
but you would think that
you were saying the things
that I thought you ought to think
 that you should say.
Picture
But I think that if you were stripped
of whatever there is in you that is
literal and irreducible,
and you tried to answer that question,
the answer may be something like this:
 I want to feel completely vulnerable,
completely naked,
completely exposed
and absolutely  secure...
​ [i.e. to be my Authentic Self].
Picture
This is what you look for in your children [if] you have them,
this is what you look for in your husband if you get one. 
That I can run the risk of radical exposure
and know that the eye that beholds my vulnerability
will not step on me. 
That I can feel secure
in my awareness of the
active presence of my own
​ [uniqueness].
Picture
So as I live my life then,
this is what I am trying to fulfill. 
It doesn't matter whether I become a doctor, lawyer, housewife. 
 I'm secure
because I hear the sound of the genuine in myself
and having learned to listen to that,
I can become quiet enough, still enough,
​ to hear the
sound of the genuine in you.
Picture
Now if I hear the sound of the genuine in me,
and if I hear the soundof the genuine in you,
it is possible for me to go down in me
and come up in you. 

So that when I look at myself
through your eyes having made that pilgrimage,
I see in me what you see in me and the wall
that separates and divides will disappear
and we will become as one,
because the sound of the genuine
​makes the same music.

Howard Thurman
from a 1980 commencement speech at Spelman College

with thanks to The Beauty We Love
Picture
Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive,
​ and go do it. 
Because what the world needs is people
who have come alive...

​AFTERNOON

From 
The Prophet
by

Kahlil Gibran

Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love.
     And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:
     When love beckons to you, follow him,
     Though his ways are hard and steep.
     And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
     Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
     And when he speaks to you believe in him,
     Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
     For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
     Even as he ascends to your height and caresses
your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
     So shall he descend to your roots
​ and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself
     He threshes you to make your naked.
     He sifts you to free you from your husks.
     He grinds you to whiteness.
     He kneads you until you are pliant;
     And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,
that you may become
​ sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.
     All these things shall love do unto you
that you may know the secrets of your heart,
and in that knowledge
​ become a fragment of Life’s heart.
  But if in your heart you would seek only
love’s peace and love’s pleasure,
     Then it is better for you that you
cover your nakedness and pass out
of love’s threshing-floor,
     Into the seasonless world where you
shall laugh,
but not all of your laughter,
and weep,
but not all of your tears.
     Love gives naught but itself
​and takes naught but from itself.
     Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
     For love is sufficient unto love.
     When you love you should not say,
“God is in my heart,”
but rather,
“I am in the heart of God.”
     And think not you can direct the course of love,
for love, if it finds you worthy,
​directs your course.
  Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
     But if you love and must needs have desires,
let these be your desires:
     To melt and be like a running brook
that sings its melody to the night.
     To know the pain of too much tenderness.
     To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
     And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
     To wake at dawn with a winged heart
and give thanks for another day of loving;
     To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
     To return home at eventide with gratitude;
Picture
     And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved
in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

What’s it like to be a human
the bird asked

I myself don’t know
it’s being held prisoner by your skin
while reaching infinity
being a captive of your scrap of time
while touching eternity

being hopelessly uncertain
and helplessly hopeful
being a needle of frost
and a handful of heat

breathing in the air
and choking wordlessly
it’s being on fire
with a nest made of ashes

eating bread
while filling up on hunger
it’s dying without love
it’s loving through death

That’s funny said the bird
and flew effortlessly up into the air

I believe there is a spirit, a power, a grace in my life that is greater than I am and greater than my mind. 
It is greater, I believe, than the human experience.
This power is running the show, determining my reality.
Call it God, call it spirit, call it intuition,
call it grace or evolution, call it the great reality,
or call it nothing. 
​
There is something going on here
with which I am partnered.
​That’s the good news—I’m not alone.

​AFTERNOON
Picture
Silence is as deep as eternity,
speech a shallow as time.
Thomas Carlyle
Picture
Words move, music moves
Only in time; but that which is only living
Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern,
Can words or music reach
The stillness, as a Chinese jar still
Moves perpetually in its stillness.
Not the stillness of the violin, while the note lasts,
Not that only, but the co-existence,
Or say that the end precedes the beginning,
And the end and the beginning were always there
Before the beginning and after the end.
And all is always now. Words strain,
Crack and sometimes break, under the burden,
Under the tension, slip, slide, perish,
Decay with imprecision, will not stay in place,
Will not stay still. Shrieking voices
Scolding, mocking, or merely chattering,
Always assail them. The Word in the desert
Is most attacked by voices of temptation,
The crying shadow in the funeral dance,
The loud lament of the disconsolate chimera.

The detail of the pattern is movement,
As in the figure of the ten stairs.
Desire itself is movement
Not in itself desirable;
Love is itself unmoving,
Only the cause and end of movement,
Timeless, and undesiring
Except in the aspect of time
Caught in the form of limitation
Between un-being and being.
Sudden in a shaft of sunlight
Even while the dust moves
There rises the hidden laughter
Of children in the foliage
Quick now, here, now, always--
Ridiculous the waste sad time
Stretching before and after.


—T. S. Eliot

Each tree grows in two directions at once,
into the darkness and out to the light
with as many branches and roots
​as it needs to embody its wild desires.

—John O’Donohue

There is a God of solitude.
He covers me closely, like the air.
I study Him blindly, by touch.
Only His body is everywhere,
elusive,
impalpable.

THE CESSATION....   "...he only smiled."     January 7, 2020

 A CONDITION KNOWN SINCE BEFORE TIME
A RETURN TO “ORIGINAL BEING”
THE CESSATION OF DANCES WITH THE ILLUSORY

...HE ONLY SMILED
There is a well known Eastern legend giving the idea of a soul who had found truth.
There was a wall of laughter and of smiles.
This wall existed for ages and many tried to climb it,
but few succeeded.
Picture
Those who had climbed upon it saw something beyond,
and so interested were they that they smiled,
climbed over the wall and never returned.
Picture
Remembrance Rock - Portal of Entry
The people of the town began to wonder
what magic could there be and what attraction,
that whoever climbed the wall never returned.
So they called it the wall of mystery.
Picture
Then they said,
'We must make an enquiry
and send someone who can reach the top,
but we must tie him with a rope to hold him back.'
Picture
When the man they had thus sent
reached the top of the wall,
he smiled and tried to jump over it,
but they pulled him back.
​
Still he smiled,
and when the people eagerly asked,
'what did you see there?'
he did not answer,
h
e only smiled.
This is the condition of the seer.
The man who in the shrine of his heart
has seen the vision of God,
the one who has the realization of truth,
can only smile,
for words can never really explain
​ what truth means.
