What is called peace by many is
Merely the absence of disturbance.
True peace cannot be disturbed;
It resides beyond the reach of disturbance.

What is your life about anyway?
Nothing but a struggle to be someone.
Nothing but a running
from your own silence.

AFTERNOON

It must have been more than 50 years ago.
I was a newbie meditator and yogini
when my teacher threw this curved ball:

“Pray for disappointment.
Disappointment is the highest teacher.”

Gulp. I thought I was signing up for Transcendence 101,
not some advanced course in self-mortification.

Please explain, I asked, and she did:
Disappointment will unpick your stories.
It will shatter your certitudes.

It will strip you of hope.
It will lead you to the other side of the assumptions you unknowingly live by.

(It will be a huge shock to realise
that the only free and true choice you can ever make
is to stop, shut up, listen and open.)

If you can live with its inevitability,
it will deliver you to unbreakable peace and equanimity.
You will understand the real meaning of trust
and you will make impermanence
your touchstone.

No fatalism or nihilism involved – no ‘isms’ whatsoever.
No ideology, therapy or frantic god-bothering required.

QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS "...silent awareness..." "...simplicity of being." October 9, 2020

“… It is only when we meet life from the unknown—and that is what silence really is, an open-ended unknownness—that we can really listen to what is true. And only the truth will set us free …”
~ AMODA MAA

“… I invite you to fall open, even when your world is falling apart …”

“… dissolution of the tight knot of ego …”
which, as Amoda posits,
“… doesn’t necessarily happen in one fell swoop.
It is more likely to be a gradual process of unfoldment--
a weaving in and out of the open spaciousness
of being and an often
indiscernible erosion of resistance to what is.

Your journey of awakening is unique and is unlikely to look like mine
--there is no path but the path you are walking.

But wherever you are on this path and whatever your circumstances,
in every moment the freedom of openness is available.

And the personal and global crises we experience in today’s world
offer a potent opportunity to turn our allegiance
from the war with reality to
the silent awareness that is always here …”

No wonder she closes the Introduction with:

“… I invite you to fall open, even when your world is falling apart …”

What is closer than economic collapse?
What is closer than social breakdown?
What is closer than any loss?
What is more intimate and direct than any thought?

Right here, right now
—if you stop and listen, if you stop and feel--
is the warmth of your body, the ebb and flow of your breath,
the pulse in your belly.

Right here, right now
—if you stop and soften--
is the simplicity of being.

This recognition of the truth of your innermost nature
is not a spiritual palliative.
It’s not about denying what’s going on in the world.
It’s not about sticking your head in the sand.

It’s about meeting reality as it is,
not as you imagine it to be.

It’s about waking up out of the dream of separation
and returning to the sovereignty
of your innate wholeness.
AMODA MAA

AFTERNOON

The quieter we are,
the more patient and open we are in our sadnesses,
the more deeply and unerringly
a new revelation can enter us,
and the more we can make it our own.

Later on when it ‘happens’
– when it manifests in our response to another person –
we will feel it as belonging to our innermost being.

Rainer Maria Rilke
Letters to a Young Poet

https://contemplativedaybook.blogspot.com/2020/10/to-be-patient-with-sadness.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ContemplativeDayBook+%28Contemplative+Day+Book%29

"Even a child cannot respond to everything.
But its antennae quiver at the slightest signal.
After several pages of lyrically recounted
late-summer memories from her childhood,
Colette contemplates the singular impressionability of
early memory --
a sort of time-capsule of consciousness
that stays with us for life:
The style of things,
the kind of things that we shall love in later life
are fixed in that moment when the child’s strong gaze
selects and molds the figures of fantasy
that for it are going to last."
excerpt from:
https://mailchi.mp/brainpickings/colette-earthly-paradise-autumn?e=bc3afd75c6

You are neither earth, water, fire, air or even ether.
For liberation know yourself as consisting of consciousness,
the witness of these.

If only you will remain resting in consciousness,
seeing yourself as distinct from the body,
then even now you will become happy, peaceful
and free from bonds.

Certainly the wise person of self-knowledge,
playing the game of worldly enjoyment,
bears no resemblance whatever to the world’s bewildered beasts of burden.

Truly the yogi feels no excitement
even at being established in that state
which all the Devas from Indra down
yearn for disconsolately.

He who has known That
is untouched within by good deeds or bad,
just as the sky is not touched by smoke,
however much it may appear to be.

Who can prevent the great-souled person
who has known this whole world as himself
from living as he pleases?

Of all four categories of beings,
from Brahma down to the last clump of grass,
only the man of knowledge is capable
of eliminating
desire and aversion.

Rare is the man who knows himself
as the undivided Lord of the world,
and no fear occurs to him
who knows this from anything..

Fresh Seaweed from sunrise Ocean Waters

Now in the blessed days of more and less
when the news about time is that each day
there is less of it I know none of that
as I walk out through the early garden
only the day and I are here with no
before or after and the dew looks up
without a number or a present age

—W. S. Merwin
from the moon before morning
https://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2020/07/dew-light.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FmnCFM+%28Love+Is+A+Place%29

I Am God-Mad
I’m God-mad … God-mad in a vast, vast way.
When I go out on the veranda at home
and I look at the whole scene,
I say, ‘Wonderful, God! Wonderful!’
Or I wake up in the morning and I walk outside
and I see the nature all around me:
‘Wonderful, God. Great work!
Good morning, God.
Good morning!’

And I say that in the kitchen,
in the bathroom,
anywhere …
because I’m God-mad, you see.

But what do I mean by this God?
If you objectify God,
you’re going to miss the point.
If you make a thought of God,
you’re going to miss the point,
because the thought is an object.

This God is everything put together – nothing in particular, although I say to the birds,
‘That’s God being a bird. Hello, God!’
The clouds are God:
‘A lovely, lovely bit of artistry, God.’

I’m talking to God all day.

What do you talk to all day?
You talk to yourself.
You must be, if you’re thinking all day,
because your thoughts are yourself.

In God-madness
there’s no thought.

There’s just an embracement of the entire.
The whole scene is purely a convex thing
that reflects everything back
to this body, here, within,
and the acknowledgement,
the recognition of the whole,
all comes back
as the power of love.

It all comes back and it delights you
because it resonates with
the God inside of you.
~ Barry Long
https://barrylongbulletin.tumblr.com/post/189278951592

Perhaps the most insidious aspect of Freedom is when the Conscious Awareness You Are ‘has’ Awakened but is still obscured by the archive of ‘learning’ that the mind has accumulated.

The false self [body-mind-identity] has not yet been totally transformed back into nothing-ness and much faith continues to be placed on the value of acquired knowledge.
This often inspires
a very subtle spiritual arrogance.

True Knowing is ‘emptiness’, devoid of any ‘you-identity’. There is no archive of information and yet the knowledge available from ‘True Knowing’ is instantaneous
in the moment it is needed.

The death of the personal identity is the only ‘real’ death
and with it comes - ‘emptiness’.

When this occurs, there is a profound ‘lightness’
based on ‘Being nothing’.

The slate of person-hood is wiped clean
and the Awareness that You Are
is fully revealed.

Awareness is then ‘aware’ of IT SELF as ONE
… as All That Is.

AFTERNOON

INTEGRITY AND AUTHENTICITY
-

Integrity and authenticity seem very similar if not identical … but they are not.
Integrity relates to the world of the false self …
the one called ‘me’ as a person,
the body-mind-identity or ‘person’
- who most believe is who they are.

It involves something called honesty
and living within the parameters
of what is perceived of as true and right conduct.

While this ‘is’ altruistic and noble on the surface,
it is totally dominated by the conditioning
that defines this ‘made-up’ entity or false self.

Every attachment, expectation and identification
tied to memory and imagination
‘designs’ what this illusory identity calls true,
and that is an ever-changing description
that is always compromised at best.

Authenticity,
however involves the Awareness
that this entity is a false self.

It recognizes that nothing about it is real in any way.
IT does not require any analysis or comparisons
of what is so called right or wrong …

IT lives beyond the world of opposites
as one flawless and untainted SELF.

Everything expressed by this SELF
[which is ‘one’ Consciousness,
in which all that ‘seems to be’ is a ‘projection’]
is Perfect …
IT ‘is’ Truth IT SELF,
also called Love [unconditioned in any way].

This Awareness is another name for
Who You Really Are.

I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid, more accessible;

to loosen my heart until it
becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance,
to live so that which
came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom,

and that which
came to me as blossom,...

...goes on as fruit.

“Let us… seek peace…
near the inland murmur of streams,
and the gracious waving of trees,
the beauteous vesture of earth,
and sublime pageantry of the skies,”
Mary Shelley
wrote two hundred years ago
as she envisioned a world
ravaged by a deadly pandemic and
weighed what makes life worth living.

“The setting sun will always set me to rights,”
the melancholy John Keats wrote in the same era,
a century and a half before Lorraine Hansberry
considered the mightiest remedy for depression
and observed that
“hills, the trees, sunrise and sunset
— the lake the moon and the stars / summer clouds --
the poets have been right in these centuries.”

To love is to undress our names.
—Octavio Paz

& from Rumi:

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

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

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?

—Rumi

Allow yourself to be used -
Thomas Merton

You are fed up with words,
I don't blame you.
I am nauseated by them sometimes.

I am also,
to tell the truth,
nauseated by ideals and with causes.

This sounds like heresy,
but I think you will understand
what I mean.
It is so easy to get engrossed with ideas
and slogans and myths
that in the end one is left
holding the bag,
empty,
with no trace of meaning left in it.

And then the temptation is to yell
louder than ever in order to
make the meaning be there again by magic.

Going through this kind of reaction
helps you to guard against this.
Your system is complaining
of too much verbalizing,
and it is right.

...The big results are not in your hands or mine,
but they suddenly happen,
and we can share in them,
but there is
no point in building our lives
on personal satisfaction,
which may be denied us
and which after all is not that
important.

The next step in the process
is for you to see that your
even thinking about what you are doing
is crucially important.

You are probably striving to build yourself
an identity in your work, out of your work...
You are using it, so to speak,
to protect yourself against
nothingness, annihilation.

That is not the right use
of your work.

All the good that you will do will come,
not from you
but from the fact that you
have allowed
yourself to be used by Love [Grace].

Think of this
more and more and gradually
you will be free from
the need to prove yourself,
and you can be more
open to the power that will work through you
without your knowing it.

Thomas Merton

"We are an instrument of Grace...
We are being played...
Keep the instrument tuned so
that Grace can play the music."

Between Heaven and Earth,
There seems to be a Bellows:
It is empty, and yet it is inexhaustible;
The more it works,
the more comes out of it
No amount of words can fathom it:
Better look for it within you.
— Tao Te Ching

To return to the root is to find peace.
To find peace is to fulfill one’s destiny.
— Tao Te Ching

Only simple and quiet words will ripen of themselves.
For a whirlwind does not last a whole morning.
Nor does a sudden shower last a whole day.
— Tao Te Ching

The world is a sacred vessel,
which must not be tampered with or grabbed after.
To tamper with it is to spoil it,
and to grasp it is to lose it.
— Tao Te Ching

There is no calamity like not knowing what is enough.
There is no evil like covetousness.
Only he who knows what is enough
will always have enough.
— Tao Te Ching

Tackle things before they have appeared.
Cultivate peace and order
before confusion and disorder
have set in.
— Tao Te Ching

Heaviness is the root of lightness.
Serenity is the master of restlessness.
— Tao Te Ching

Only when we are sick of our sickness
Shall we cease to be sick.
— Tao Te Ching

Few things under heaven
are as instructive as
the lessons of Silence.
— Tao Te Ching

Worn-out garments are shed by the body,
worn-out bodies are shed by the dweller within the body,
new bodies are donned by the dweller, like garments.

Not wounded by weapons, not burned by fire,
not dried by the wind, not wetted by water,
such is the one.

Not dried, not wetted, not burned, not wounded,
innermost essence, everywhere, always,
being of beings,
changeless,
eternal,
for ever and ever.

Bhagavad-Gita 2:22

https://wahiduddin.net/

When times become dark and difficult
the issue for those on earth
comes down to living authentically,
to authenticating the purpose and meaning
already present in each soul.

The eloquence of creation and meaningful imagination
continues to resonate and reverberate
through the world and waits to be found
where it has always resided
in the heart within the heart,
in the living stories that reconnect
the mind and the heart
as well as each heart
to both heaven and earth.

Myth invites us and involves us
in the necessary project
of finding enough imagination and vision
to keep
restoring and “re-storying”
the world.

Whenever the end seems near
it is important to have a mythic sense,
a story-mind,
an awareness of imaginal things;
not a fantasy to escape with,
but a sense of living imagination
that can connect us
to the hidden unity and ongoing
eloquence of creation.

AFTERNOON

Meditation doesn’t
Promise anything.

It isn’t a strategy.
It simply is.

When we exist
Within meditation,
There is no room
For strategies of
Becoming, achieving,
Attaining, owning.

Within meditation,
Silence is
The only strategy,
Because everything is
Too sudden for planning,
To rich to want,
Too hushed for noise.
Robert Rabbin

Just beyond the thinking mind
is an unending field of love and quiet beauty.
One can lie down there,
and live in eternity.
This field cannot be seen by the mind,
it cannot be known by the mind;
it can only be felt and found
with the heart.
-Robert Rabbin

The world primal means essential, fundamental.
I want to speak the language of my primal self.
I want something more essential, more fundamental,
and closer to life than all the influences I’ve been shaped by,
than all the words and ideas I’ve collected.

I want another language now, to speak truthfully as I am dying.

I want only what is wild and utterly free, dangerously so, that inhabits me, as life,
now that I am dying and as I die.

Freedom.
From all the influences and suggestions and taboos and prohibitions.
I want freedom.

Life is free.
No Buddhists, no Jews, no shamans, saints, or sages,
no love and light, no be good, do good --
none of that.

No prescriptions, however sacred and ancient.
That’s all made up.
I don’t want that.
I don’t want security or safety, not now.

I don’t want to be liked or understood.
I don’t care about a legacy of good deeds.
I just want life — pure, unfiltered, galactic and gigantic
and free and wild and so gorgeous.

Oh my. I can’t even breathe, it’s too beautiful.
I don’t want peace and silence and happiness.

No. I am glad to know I am dying, that death is upon me.
Without this certainly in my bones,
my life would be just a hallucination.

Let me speak truthfully,
with life providing the dictionary,
the grammar, the syntax.
No one else.

I am dying, and therefore I speak truthfully.
I want to. I want to.

What is your play now, Robert?
How big? How small? How real?
Tell me.
Show me.
This is life, asking you.

Robert Rabbin

THE GATEWAY OF NOT KNOWING

When you Don't Know,
there is a crack in the delusion of mind.
And you can be penetrated
by an entire Universe.

Not Knowing is not ignorance.
Nor is it stupidity.

It is Curiosity.
It is Wonder.

It is the relaxation of the separate 'I',
and the presence of great Compassion.

When you Don't Know you can be entered
by a tired sun exploding into reds and oranges,
by a yellow moon and a trillion distant stars,
so far yet so close,
so distant yet so Here.

Knowledge will not bring you to it.
The 'I' cannot understand it.
Not Knowing is its gateway.
Surrender to the moon.

an activity, an experience, a person,
a «destination».

Really what we desire
is that sense of REST
that comes from «being there».

What we desire
is relief from desire itself!

We seek the end of seeking,
long for the end of longing,
wait for the end of waiting.

Suffering disappointment after disappointment,
we come to recognize that no external «thing»
can ever truly end the cycle of seeking.

Nothing outside of ourselves
can make us happy.

Disillusioned, exhausted from the search,
we sink back into our present experience,
resting deeply in its warm embrace.

And we finally realize--
that’s all we ever wanted
in the first place!

Ourselves.
Here, now.

We were always so close.

We were just looking
in the wrong direction,
that’s all.

It Is Not that Easy...

Consider the poor soul who comes home and says,
"I want to sit somewhere, eat my bread and serve God".

But I say in eternal truth
that these people must remain lost
and can neither reach nor attain the heights
of those who follow God
in the nothingness
of the divine wilderness.
The Reality of the Spirit: A Sermon of Meister Eckhart

The universes which are amenable to the intellect
can never satisfy the instincts of the heart.

On way to Sunrise Beach...Clear Sky Reflection in Mud Puddle

First Viewing of Ocean/Sky

Is it You, Beloved, or my own Soul,
That Fills the Heart of my Being,
With Love, Causeless and Eternal,
This Ecstasy without opposite?

When I Remember Your Face,
I, and the manifest world Vanish.

Falling into the depths of my Soul,
I, and the manifest world Vanish.

Could it be my Soul is that juncture,
Where You and I are Not Two,
Where river meets Ocean,
And those Waters are Not Two?

The Mind, in Wonder, seeks to know,
While The Heart Revels in Mystery.

They Dance, together, as Rumi said,
In Astounded, Lucid Confusion.

The Joy Behind Suffering and Death

These difficult days remind me of an earlier time,
when I spoke to Bernadette (Roberts)
about some difficult physical suffering I was going through.

She said she hoped and prayed
that I was not also suffering interiorly
but were aware that God is with me
and has ordained this suffering
to prepare me for a whole new life.

It is because God (eternal life with God) is not of this world
that your being in this world has to go by the wayside
in order to enter into God’s being –
which is not in this world.

She went on to say that death and dying
are not about anything else.
Although dying is a positive transformative process,
it is thought of as a ‘negative’
because it means leaving life as one knows it now,
for a life that one does not know now.

Man’s eternal life is of an entirely different nature
than his present life.
No one knows eternal life until it is a fait accompli.

Because one does not know ahead of time,
soul preparation must be perfect trust in God.

The reason this is not easy is because
it means giving up not only what one knows,
but knowing itself.

Everything one thinks is ‘life after death’
can be thrown in the wastebasket.
In the garden, Jesus had to sweat out this unknowing,
“to be or not to be”
– how it would go after his death.

How it really goes
is nothing like man’s ideas of ‘eternal life’.

Jesus said
“Thy will be done”,
meaning
‘however it goes, so be it!’

This is the last word on eternal life.
Bernadette encouraged me to maintain ‘tough love’ for God –
“that your trust may be perfect!”

3:28 AM-8/30/18

We prepare for death by living every second,
living life minutely,
exploring our body and mind
with a merciful awareness.

To be this close to the moment
in which our life is unfolding
we need to cultivate a deeper awareness
through the development
of a meditation practice.

Awareness is itself a healing quality.
Where awareness is focused the deepest potentionals
for clarity and balance present themselves.

Though what we are aware of
may be incessantly changing,
awareness itself remains a constant,
a lumnous spaciousness
without beginning or end,
without birth or death.

It is the essence of life iteslf.
It is what remains when all
that is impermanent falls away.

It is the deathless.

Stephen Livine
A Year to Live
p. 39

What makes you think you were born
and what makes you think you will die?
Watch such thoughts closely
and notice the enormity
in which they unfold.

We have gone mad looking for a solid center,
but there is none.

Our center is vast space.
Nothing to die and nothing
to hang your hat on.

Stephen Livine
A Year to Live
p. 117

What I Desire Most: A Certain Calmness

What I most desire for you is a certain calmness,
which comes from recollection, detachment, and love of God.

Occupy yourself as little as possible about external matters.
Give at proper season a quiet, calm attention
to those things assigned
to your care by Providence;
leave the rest.

We do much more by quiet,
tranquil labor in the presence of God,
than by the greatest eagerness and over-activity
of a restless nature.

Bishop Fenelon

Fenelon’s Spiritual Letters

https://contemplativedaybook.blogspot.com/2020/08/what-i-desire-most-certain-calmness.html

The presence of awareness
With it, you are everything.
Without it,

Everything in the world bears witness
of the use or misuse of man's inner talking.

Negative inner talking,
particularly evil and envious inner talking,
are the breeding ground of the future
battlefields and penitentiaries
of the world.

Through habit man has developed
the secret affection for these negative inner conversations.

Through them he justifies failure, criticizes his neighbors,
gloats over the distress of others,
and in general pours out his venom on all.

Such misuse
of the Word
perpetuates the violence
of the world.

Hold fast, in your imagination,
to all that is lovely and of good report,
for the lovely and the good
are essential in your life
if it is to be worthwhile.

Assume it.

You do this by imagining
that you already are what you want to be --
and already have what you want to have.

“As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.”

Be still and know
that you are that which you desire to be,
and you will never have to search for it.

In spite of your appearance
of freedom of action,
you obey,
as everything else does,
the law of assumption.

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.

Those who had climbed upon it saw something beyond,
and so interested were they that they smiled,
climbed over the wall and never returned.

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.

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.'

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,

he 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.

AFTERNOON

As artists & yogis,
our bodies & minds
are the fundamental tools of our craft,
&
yet
the essential ingredient
is the soul.

~Hari Kirin Kaur Khalsa

Contemplative art as a spiritual practice,
living & breathing & being fed through
service to “something greater,”
is at the core of my work.

Deep in the throes of my life,
surrender is the balance
between struggle & the flow
of what is
real & life-enriching.

As I dive into this place of soul tending,
I find refuge in my own heart.

There is a concept called “duende,”
that speaks to me deeply.

This Spanish word,
meaning inspiration or passion,
is at the core of my artistic process.

Creativity, the creative process, making art, finding my voice~ all of it is about
living authentically & with a sweetness
&
wildness & curiosity
toward living fully~

This bone of fire, feeding,
burning, moving, rattling~
may the creative fire warm the souls of friends,
light up revelations & inspirations,
& melt stars~

only then can they sift down
into wishing hearts.
~In Blue

Creativity is not a noun or even a verb~
it is a place,
a space,
a gathering, a union~
wherein the Divine powers of creativity
&
the human power of imagination
join forces.

Where the two come together
is where beauty & grace happen
& indeed, explode.

~Matthew Fox

"The Dangers of Thinking Positive"

The more you try to be positive,
the more you will become negative.

The nature of the mind is such that if you say,
“I don’t want this,”
only that will happen in your mind.

Why don’t you look at every situation
the way it is,
accept it the way it is,
and see what is the best
you can do about it?

A situation is neither positive nor negative.

Don’t try to develop attitudes and philosophies.

Why can’t you just be here,
without any specific attitude?
Without any philosophy?

Just aware.
Simply aware.

Every situation demands
a different kind of response, isn’t it?

If you develop attitudes
of positive thinking or what not,
it may work well in one situation.

But in another kind of situation
you will do stupid things,
because you have a prejudiced idea
that you have to be in a certain way.

If you go on thinking positive at the wrong place,
the worst things may happen to you, isn’t it?

So there is no need to be positive.
There is no need to be negative, either.

Just be aware.

If you are aware,
you will perceive a situation just the way it is,
you can act to the best of your intelligence and capability.

When you perceive a situation the way it is,
you can act to the best of your intelligence and capability.

It is as simple as that.
Don’t get into prejudiced action.

THE POSSESSION OF
OVERFLOWING
EFFORTLESS EASE CREATION
ERASES A MINDING MIND
ew
3:37 AM-8/8/16

From OSHO:
Very few people have died with the realization of no-mind. They don’t leave a trace behind.
They don’t burden anybody else with their memory.
They simply disperse into the universe.

They don’t have any mind
and
they don’t have any memory system.

They have already dissolved it in their meditations.
That’s why the enlightened person is never born.

Wounds of millions of people are moving around you,
just in search of somebody
who is willing to be miserable.

Of course,
the blissful does not leave any trace.

The man of awakening dies
the way a bird moves into the sky,
without making
a track or a path.

The sky remains empty.

Blissfulness moves without making any trace.
That’s why you don’t get any inheritance from the buddhas; they simply disappear.

And all kinds of idiots and retarded people
go on reincarnating in their memories
and it becomes every day thicker and thicker.

The only way to get out of misery patterns,
whether ancient or new,
is witnessing.

I say it is the only way,
because nobody has escaped from the mind
without becoming a witness.

Just witness....

.....and suddenly you will start laughing
at your own misery.

All our miseries are so superficial –
and most fundamentally,
they are all borrowed.

When I Cast All Dreams Away ~
Yogananda

I sipped the sap of each sane pleasure;
I exulted in the crushed beauty of sextillion stars;
I made a bonfire of all sorrows and basked in the glory blaze;

I quaffed the questing love of all hearts;
I mingled paternal, maternal, and fraternal love together,
And drank the solacing draught;
I squeezed the scriptures for drops of peace;
I wrung poems from the winepress of Nature;

I lifted gems from the mine of thoughts;
I stole the sweetness from the honeycomb of innocent joys;
I read, I smiled, I worked, I planned, I throbbed, I aspired;
But naught was sufficient.

Only nightmares of incompleteness,
Ever receding will-o’-the wisps of promised happiness,
Haunted and hastened my heart.

GRACE
Grace is the Ocean flowing into the river,
Not the other way ‘round.

Grace is The Destination Arriving at you,
When you have not yet arrived.

Grace is an impossible Blossoming,
While you are yet still a bud.

Grace is being Discovered,
By that which you sought to discover.

Grace is being Embraced,
By that which you sought to embrace.

Grace is being Possessed by Perfection,
While you are yet far from Perfect.

Grace is Love, drawn to Itself, Here...

Self is an Obstacle to Clear Vision

In the now-moment the self never arises;
nothing calls upon it to do so.
The eye seeing itself lives and holds everything
tightly in this moment,
a moment that has no need of a self.

But even if we persist with the notion of self,
such a label adds nothing to pure subjectivity.
It tells us nothing more about it,
and any clinging to self as a notion or an experience,
certainly constitutes an obstacle
to clear vision.

“If you wait for an event to take place,
for the coming of reality,
you will wait for ever,
for reality neither comes nor goes.

It is to be perceived, not expected.
It is not to be prepared for and anticipated.
But the very longing and search for reality
is the movement, operation, action of reality.”
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

For the ‘person’ who is doing the waiting
is in reality illusory.

Yet this subtle feeling alone
has the power
to keep a truer and very present reality
at bay.

A reality that is not broken up, not divided,
but whole and therefore fully at peace with itself.

This reality is here now.

There is nothing ahead in time,
nothing away in place,
that can be waited for.

The totality of life is present now,
and is to be totally enjoyed.

I can ease down, relax,
fall back into
the presence that I am,...

...in all its generosity, beauty, splendour.
I am.

That’s just it.
I AM.

https://boothstars.com/2020/07/28/sagittarius-tuesday-july-28-2020/

The Longing of the Heart is there to draw you in.
It's the Longing for that which is true, pure,
innocent, whole and Alive within you...
It's the Longing for the embrace of the Eternal Being
that animates your being...

It's the call of "The Beloved."

Follow the call...

The Longing is your Innocence;
an innocent Longing for
Divine Intimacy;
the Eternal recognizing ItSelf in you...

It is the Self calling ItSelf back to ItSelf,
like the rhythm of the Ocean pulling the waves

Chapter 2 – Opposites

Beauty cannot exist
without ugliness.
Virtue cannot exist
without vice.

Living, we know death.
Struggling, we know ease.
Rising high, we know the depths.
Being quiet, we understand noise.

Everything gives rise to its opposite,
therefore we work without conscious effort
and teach without agenda.

We enjoy everything
and possess nothing.

Our accomplishments
do not emerge from our ego,
so we do not cling to them.

Thus they benefit all beings.

Our Cosmic Vibration...

We are equipped with everything we need - right now.
There is no linear self-improvement program to
measure up to;
no spiritual standard to compare our progress with;
achieving lofty goals of "enlightenment" or non-duality.
Everything is open ended, boundaryless, freely fluid,
forever fluctuating - "enlightened."

The key - the one unchanging "truth" -
is Love - a Cosmic Love -
unborn, inexplicable Love;
an "un-dualating" energy vibration of Love
that just IS - that has always existed -
that is the gateway to
knowing our True Inner Beingness...

...into knowing
a truer Vibration that lies at the
Core of our Being;
the "mother energy" of our
Cosmology;
the place of no beginning, or ending,
no birth, no death,
only the Isness and Eternality of our Essence.

Dissolve into your Cosmic Origin...
Return to your "roots";
naked, Luminous, ever-present Love...

Entrain with the Maternal Heart,
where the ripples of Love
form and expand,
pulsating the Rhythm of Ineffable Love
within you ~

You will know it when you feel it...

Pure, untainted, causeless, objectless

Love ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Remember:
whatever may be arising for us –
it isn’t our little drama.
It’s all for the sake of Creation Itself.
She is restless and she is singing our song.

You are a holy compost pile at the very edge of evolution.

Brewing on this edge is an alive intelligence
beyond anything you can grasp
with thoughts and concepts.

In your willingness to hang out
in the pregnant unknown,
you become the poet, the artist,
the mother birthing her holy medicine
into our world.

MORE DETAILS RE: THESE ABOVE WHISPERS

The Harm of Judging Others
It goes without saying that, when speaking of judgment
I do not mean that which is reserved for God alone;

rather, I speak of judgment as the glasses
through which we see everything,
size up people by our standards,
for, be these good, bad or indifferent,
they are judgments none the less.

The continuous expectation (or judgment)
of how things should be, according to our point of view,
is a failure to see things as they are,
see them as they exist outside ourselves.

This type of expectation
is a failure to accept others where they are
in any given moment,
and thereby ignores the reality of change
and growth in others
- as well as in ourselves.

Too often our first meeting with another
is our last because,
for better or worse,
we hold on to the initial image
and
admit of no change.

This image making is a judgment itself.

AFTERNOON

KINDNESS

Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.

What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.

How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.

Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness,
you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho
lies dead by the side of the road.

You must see how this could be you,
how he too was someone
who journeyed through the night with plans
and the simple breath that kept him alive.

Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.

You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.

Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to mail letters and purchase bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say...

...It is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend.

BEYOND BELIEF RELIEF

(See Afternoon Section Below
for
Whisper from June 28, 2018)

Self is always in relationship
to its experience,
to its perceptions.

When we go beyond self,
there’s no relationship between self
and what is experienced.

There’s just the immediacy
of being the entire field of experience—being it,
versus ‘me’ experiencing it.
~Adyashanti
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/06/28/32663/

Enter the mysterium
Falling apart, holding it all together.
Then falling apart, then coming back together.
Cycles of clarity and confusion.
Hopelessness and hope.
Heartbreak and bliss.
Knowing who we are and why we are here in one moment,
deflated in the next
as an old dream is recycled into the vast.

As in the natural world,
inside the body the sacred process
of death and rebirth unfolds.

At times an expression of unity and order;
at other times chaos and multiplicity.
Each pole a carrier of wisdom, guidance,
and the water of life.

Inside the opposites it is alive and creative,
but there is no solid ground from which to orient.
No familiar reference point to look back to or rest in.

Only tenderness.
Raw. Open. Pregnant. Potential.

But what will be reborn from the ashes
has not yet been given.

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 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 the beloved 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.

Send your awareness, vision, and breath
into that temple,
where the light and dark play in union.

Enter the mysterium.
it is from there that something new may emerge.

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?

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.

Poised, no longer
settled
you wait as every part of you sheds
what once was,
and is no longer
necessary.

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.

"...MOUNTED BEYOND SELF."

“Then,”
says the writer of the Cloud (of Unknowing)
--whispering as it were to the bewildered neophyte
the dearest secret of his love--

--“then will He sometimes peradventure
send out a beam of ghostly light,
piercing this cloud of unknowing that is betwixt thee and Him;
and show thee some of His privity,
the which man may not,
nor cannot speak.”
Evelyn Underhill –

Whoever is to be poor in spirit
must be poor in all his own knowing
so that he knows nothing of God,

This is love:
to fly toward a secret sky,

To protect yourself

A pair of blackbirds perch facing one another,
intoning impossible-to-mimic vocalizations of purpose.
They are not interested in what might or could be.
They are in the midst of what is.

They, we, are like an exhaled breath--
consumed yet unburdened.

Released from the bonds of purpose,
every thought wanders back to the first moment.
We should be so happy to be dying.

Fifteen seconds of silence
and I'm alive again.
Like coming to the surface
and finding yourself completely dry.

AFTERNOON

The world is an illusion."
So saying, the Zen master rises from his seat--
Swats a mosquito on his forehead.
*
Face of God
Nothingness looks out
And Nothingness looks in.
My eyes are hollow;
Space pervades all.
A wind blows quietly through empty halls.
*
How can I say it?
In me, in you—This.
*

On a backdrop of Nothingness
I paint perfect colors
Which magically move with each mind,
Whose viewing brings forth
New colors to view.
Painters paint and buyers buy
Because everyone else is buying.
No point in berating the master of colors,
Only leave the shopping to others.
*

The Truth is not hazy.
It is a rock surrounded by mist.
And we are creatures of the mist,
Whose memory is all that gives them form.

I've read to you for a thousand years,
By a candle which never grows cold,
These words spun from our Soul.

Carried by candlelight,
Faint, yet always there, like stars.
To read, I borrow your voice--

Your voice, your soul, your words.

Seems that you never left home
And I never existed.
*

What is this screeching I hear?
This call to remember I am
of this make-believe place.

Without it,
I drift like a newborn's eyes
beholding majestic stillness,
upon which inconsequential bubblings appear
like voices in the drumbeat of rain.
Shawn Nevins
https://tatfoundation.org/forum2001-11.htm#3b

The usual part of me is missing,
but that causes no confusion.
Instead, I am free
to roam possibilities--
care-less moments of Love.

Now, I hear
two voices--
the voice of life and of death.
Once, life was my whole
and its sound, my joy and sorrow.
Now, all my action is balanced with no action--
the board is continually erased.
Such a relief to be unconcerned with chalk dust.
I am written and erased--
the holy sound and silence.
I became honest, tired, and determined
in order to hear.

What secrets does sleep hold?
What would you see if you could remember?
There are those who dream while awake,
but all they do is watch make-believe.
What is within the pool of dreamless sleep?
What is it to become this forgetting,
to become this secret?

The price of admission is an admission
of the endless sleep within our hearts.

I am half-buried in night;
for some reason still speaking.

My hand of emptiness reaches without moving;
becomes your heart.
Differences in words
melt to feelings
that melt to knowing.
I am ever pushing aside noise
allowing you to rise.

A cricket voice pierces my form
and echoes off the unknown.
I'll have to finish this poem
without my self
because it gets in the way--
opposing every sound with listening.
Everywhere--
only lonely sound.

All worn out
chasing rabbits.
Cool evening
grants a moment to think.
But wait!
What was that smell?

Endless space of your heart
calling--
longing for the answer from you.
Your every motion is mine.
Don't try to walk away.
We are vast, empty, and complete.

Inner Life - John O'Donohue

The visible world is only
the shoreline of the magnificent
ocean of the invisible.

The invisible is not empty,
but is textured and tense with presences [energies].
These presences cannot be named;
they can only be sensed,
not seen.

When you name a dimension of your experience,
one of your qualities or difficulties...
you give it an identity.
It then responds
to you according to the tone of its name...

The wildness of the invisible world is nameless.
It has no name.

A first step towards reawakening
respect for your inner life
may be to become aware of the private collage
of dead names you have for your inner life.

Often the experiences of wilderness
can return us to the nameless
wildness within.

Sometimes,
go away to a wild place on your own.
Leave your name and the grid of intentions
and projects and images which mark you out as citizen Z.

Leave it all and let yourself just slip back
into the rhythms
of your intimate wildness.

You will be surprised at the
lost terrains, wells, and mountains that you will rediscover,
territories which have been buried under will-meant
but dead names.

To go beyond confinement is to
rediscover yourself.

AFTERNOON

A decision is the focusing of the Energy of desire,
and the decision point happens
when the desire is powerful enough.
Abraham
Daily Quote – June 8, 2020

There is a pervasive form of contemporary violence
to which the idealist most easily succumbs:
activism and overwork.

The rush and pressure of modern life are a form,
perhaps the most common form,
of its innate violence.

To allow oneself to be carried away
by a multitude of conflicting concerns,
to surrender to too many demands,
to commit oneself to too many projects,
to want to help everyone in everything,
is to succumb to violence.

The frenzy of our activism neutralizes our work for peace.
It destroys our own inner capacity for peace.
It destroys the fruitfulness of our own work,
because it kills the root of inner wisdom
which makes work fruitful.
Thomas Merton
Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander
https://alongrestlessness.com/2019/05/21/faithful-prayer-and-listening-silence/

When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,
and when we escape like squirrels
turning in the cages of our personality
and get into the forests again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us
so that we don't know ourselves.

Cool, unlying life will rush in,
and passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power
and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh,
and institutions will curl up like burnt paper.
—D. H. Lawrence

Even if you intellectually understand what things are in themselves,
if they linger on as objects of inspection
there is no benefit in such understanding.

In order to acquaint your intellect with what intrinsically matters,
you must go into
the wild wood of inner calm.

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief.

I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light.

For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

AFTERNOON

The face in the stone is a mirror looking into you.
You have gazed into the moving waters
you have seen the slow light, in the sky
above Lough Inagh; beneath you, streams have flowed,
and rivers of earth have moved beneath your feet,...

but you have never looked into the immovability
of stone like this,....

the way it holds you, gives you
not a way forward but a doorway in,
staunches your need to leave,
becomes faithful by going nowhere,

something that wants you to stay here and look back,
be weathered by what comes to you, like the way you too
have travelled from so far away to be here, once reluctant...

and now as solid and as here and as willing
to be touched as everything you have found.
~David Whyte
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/06/02/32479/

Try to be mindful, and let things take their natural course.
Then your mind will become still in any surroundings,
like a clear forest pool.

All kinds of wonderful, rare animals
will come to drink at the pool,
and you will clearly see the nature of all things.

You will see many
strange and wonderful things come and go,
but you will be still.

This is the happiness of the Buddha.

Blessing in the Chaos - Jan Richardson

To all that is chaotic
in you,
let there come silence.

Let there be
a calming
of the clamoring,
a stilling
of the voices that
have laid their claim
on you,
that have made their
home in you,

that go with you
even to the
holy places
but will not
let you rest,
will not let you
hear your life
with wholeness
or feel the grace
that fashioned you.

Let what distracts you
cease.
Let what divides you
cease.
Let there come and end
to what diminishes
and demeans,
and let depart
all that keeps you
in its cage.

Let there be
an opening
into the quiet
that lies beneath
the chaos,
where you find
the peace
you did not think
possible
and
see what shimmers
within the storm.

The human heart continues to dream of a state of wholeness,
a place where everything comes together,
where loss will be made good, where blindness will transform
into vision, where damage will be made whole,
where the clenched question will open in the house of surprise,
where the travails of a life's journey will enjoy a homecoming.
To invoke a blessing is to call some of that wholeness upon a
person now.

AFTERNOON

divine manifestation is ubiquitous

The divine manifestation is ubiquitous,
only our eyes are not open to it.

 Awe is what moves us forward.

Live from your own center. The divine lives within you.

The separateness apparent in the world is secondary.

Beyond the world of opposites is an unseen,
but experienced, unity and identity in us all.

You must return with the bliss and integrate it.
The return is seeing that the radiance is everywhere.

The world is a match for us.
We are a match for the world.

The spirit is the bouquet of nature.
Sanctify the place you are in.

—Joseph Campbell

Too few people have experienced the divine image
as the innermost possession of their own souls.
Christ only meets them from without, never from within the soul;
that is why dark paganism still reigns there,
a paganism which, now in a form so blatant
that is can no longer be denied
and now in all too threadbare disguise,
is swamping the world
of so-called Christian civilization
(1980, p. 12).

WITHOUT WAVER
SO-CALLED LIFE & DEATH AS AN INSIDE JOB
RETURNED/RETURNING

BEYOND THOUGHTS AND WORDS*
ew
5:28 AM-5/24/20

*“Those who know don’t talk.
Those who talk don’t know.
Close your mouth, block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness, untie your knots,
soften your glare, settle your dust.

This is the primal identity.

Be like the Tao.
It can’t be approached or withdrawn from,
benefited or harmed, honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually.
That is why it endures.”
Tao Te Ching

*The Art of Effortless Living....
....intelligent spontaneity and effortless action flourish via a practice rooted in permitting the natural harmony of the cosmos to prevail. Essentially, how to live life effortlessly.
Wu-wei can yield a renewed sense of trust in many aspects of your daily life,
making each day more effortless.

The Art of Effortless Living provides keen insight
on how you can experience the beauty of achieving an enlightened,
effortless mind
while reveling
in the process
of
life's unfolding.

Discussion is for those who say,
"What I say is right, and what you say is wrong."
A sage never says such a thing hence,
there is no discussion.

Bowl of Saki, May 24, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
https://wahiduddin.net/saki/saki_date.php

People discuss dogmas, beliefs, and moral principles,
as they know them.
But there comes a time in a man's life
when he has touched truth
of which he cannot speak in words;
and at that time all dispute,
discussion, argument ends.

AFTERNOON

The Inner Cosmos...
Give no regard to the voice of Fear that
divides you and conflicts you;
whether from within or without...

Walk as if the "Divine" were in your shoes,
walking you -
The Inner Cosmic Being that you are;
undivided by earthly "tribes"
of politics and religion,
earthly boundaries,
or the divided mentations of
mediocre minds...

Fall into the Inner Rhythm of
the Inner Universe,
the ubiquitous Primordial Essence
inherently everywhere at all times,
fluidly in and through all life.

Do not listen to the 10,000 teachings
in your head that you have
accumulated over the years,
all trying to tell you what is true,
which way to go,
and how to be.

Just sit, be still, breathe, and listen...

for the Inner Cosmic Rhythm,
until you feel the
Inner Cosmos
move
you

Fall into the Internal Silence
beyond artificial boundaries,
beyond the bluster of buffoons and bullies
with mouthfuls of meaningless words...

Just Breathe...

Wait...

for the movement of the
the Inner Cosmos to lead you...

Then you will know what is true,
which way to go,
and
how to be...

Soul Windows - John O'Donohue, Ram Dass & D.H. Lawrence

When your soul awakens,
you begin to truly inherit your life.
You leave the kingdom of fake surfaces,
repetitive talk and many weary roles,
and slip deeper into the true adventure of
who you are,
and who you are called to become.

The greatest friend of the soul is the unknown...

Yet we are afraid of the unknown because
it lies outside our vision and our control.
We avoid it or quell it by filtering it
through protective barriers of
domestication and control.

The normal way never leads home...

John O'Donohue

The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal.
It can't be organized and regulated.

It isn't true that everyone should follow one path.
Listen to your own truth...

Ram Dass

However smart we may be,
however rich and clever or loving and charitable
or spiritual or impeccable,
it doesn't help us at all.
The real power comes to us from the beyond,
the unseen, the unknown.

D. H. Lawrence

AFTERNOON

Treading along in this dreamlike, illusory realm,
Without looking for the traces I may have left;
A cuckoo's song beckons me to return home,
Hearing this, I tilt my head to see
Who has told me to turn back;
But do not ask me where I am going,
As I travel in this limitless world,
Where every step I take is my home.

~ Dogen
from the Zen Poetry of Dogen
https://beautywelove.blogspot.com/2011/11/home.html

the wisdom of insecurity
You cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you try to grasp it.
Indeed, you cannot grasp it just as you cannot walk off with a river in a bucket.

If you try to capture running water in a bucket,
it is clear that you do not understand
it and that you will always be disappointed,
for in the bucket the water does not run.

To "have" running water
you must let go of it and let it run.

-Alan Watts
https://beautywelove.blogspot.com/2009/10/from-wisdom-of-insecurity.html

There is, in sanest hours, a consciousness,
a thought that rises,
independent, lifted out from all else,
calm, like the stars, shining eternal.

This is the thought of identity — yours for you,
whoever you are, as mine for me.

Miracle of miracles, beyond statement,
most spiritual and vaguest of earth’s dreams,
yet hardest basic fact,
and only entrance to all facts.

In such devout hours,
in the midst of the significant wonders of heaven and earth,
(significant only because of the Me in the centre,)
creeds, conventions, fall away
and become of no account before this simple idea.

Under the luminousness of real vision,
it alone takes possession,
takes value.

Like the shadowy dwarf in the fable,
once liberated and look’d upon,
it expands over the whole earth,
and spreads to the roof of heaven.

~ Walt Whitman

WOW! And All is Well!

Die and be quiet.
Quietness is the surest sign that you have died.
Your old life was a frantic running from silence.
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.

You see, you’re giving others too much power
as you even acknowledge how they make you feel.

What you’ve got to decide is how I’m going to feel.
We would go to a Virtual Reality and we would practice feeling good.

Manifestations come on the heels
of what you’ve conjured in thought.

LARGER THAN LIFE EFFORTLESS/ERRORLESS EASE "...primordial forgetfulness..." May 18, 2018

AFTERNOON

So often in life, we move beyond what we imagined we were capable of,
and breaking through that boundary
propels us toward transformation.

Someone once said,
"Death comes not to you,
but to someone else whom the gods make ready."

This sentiment feels true to me.
The person I am today, living in this story,
is not exactly the same person
as the one who will die.

Life and death will change me.
I will be different in some very fundamental ways.
For something new to emerge within us,
we must be open to change.

...Dont wait.
Everything we need is right in front of us.
Impermanence is the doorway to possibility.

Embracing it is where true freedom lies.

—Frank Ostaseski
The Five Invitations

If we learn to let go into uncertainty,
to trust that our basic nature and that of the world
are not different,
then the fact that things are not solid and fixed becomes,
rather than a threat,
a liberating opportunity.
—Carol Hyman
Living and Dying: A Buddhist Perspective

No permanence is ours; we are a wave
That flows to fit whatever form it finds:
Through day or night, cathedral or the cave
We pass forever, craving form that binds.
—Hermann Hesse

I was ecstatic,
I had discovered Rumi who can join us,
coming from the West and the East or Islam and Christianity,

“Out beyond the ideas of right-doing and wrongdoing,
there is a field I will meet you there.
It’s the world full of things to talk about.”

After I was done with my patients’ schedule
I recalled some of the verses of Rumi:

“Words are a pretext.
It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.”

“Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.”

“Reason is powerless in the expression of love.”

“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.”

“Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought.”

“Love is the bridge between you and everything.”

When one tugs at a single thing in nature,
he finds it attached to the rest of the world.
- John Muir

The Peace of Wild Thmgs

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Wendell Berry
from New Collected Poems (Counterpoint, 2012)
