The Faces of Old Monks and Nuns

It may be enough to look with simplicity and admiration
at the faces of old monks,
lined and burned by God's silence,
in order to approach such a beautiful mystery.

The monks are humanly damaged,
banished by the children of the world,
and yet spiritually irradiated,
marked by the beauty of Christ.

Mother Teresa had a face
charred by God's silences,
but she bore within her and breathed love.

By dint of remaining long hours
before the burning flame of the Blessed Sacrament,
her face was tanned,
transformed by the daily
face-to-face encounter with the Lord.

The asceticism of Silence
does not depend on human factors;
it is divine.

The Silence of God is an illumination,
simple and sublime,
little and grandiose.

AFTERNOON

Do not mistake birth
For beginning.
Likewise, Death is not
An ending.
Prior to birth is Existence without limit.
This is the quality
That is masked
By incarnation.
Remove the mask and
Remove the bindings.

When we are unwilling to accept life on its terms,
when we want things to be different from what they are,
when we define ourselves by our preferences,
all of these sow the seeds of conflict.
Wu Hsin

There is no way out.
There is no way in.
No way is necessary.
To discover that which is
Outside of time,
Requires nothing bound by time.
Wu Hsin

The removal of the unnecessary
Allows what is primal to shine.
Dark clouds, mist and thunder
Have no effect on
The sun.
Seeing that you are That is
True freedom.

The Lost Writings of Wu Hsin
trans by Roy Melvyn

The 'Barrier' Between You and God

For if you will take the trouble to test it,
you will find that when all other things and activities
have been forgotten
(even your own)
there still remains between you and God
the stark awareness of your own existence.

And this awareness too,
must go,
before you experience contemplation
in its perfection.

You will ask me how to destroy
this stark awareness of your own existence.

For you are thinking that if it were destroyed
all other difficulties would vanish.
And you would be right.

All the same,
my answer must be
that without God’s very special and freely given grace,
and your own complete and willing readiness to receive it,
this stark awareness of yourself
cannot possibly be destroyed.

And this readiness begins
with nothing else
than a strong,
deep sorrow of spirit.

SOUL’S OVERFLOW SUFFICES
ew
3:16 AM-7/23/16

Disappearing from I “doing”.... and ie the need to talk
and explain anything.

Soul Overflow Suffices

I Was Dead

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

Holy Bellows...

She enters the Quietness of Her Being
and waits...

Breathing into the Quiet,
salvaging the remnants from
previous excursions here.

Waves of The Quiet that still
remain, before the mind
usurped the calming rise and fall
with its staccato tempo...

Finding the deeper Rhythm again,
she returns to the Core of Her Being,
unperturbed by the flailing mind
that wants attention.

Following the rhythm of the breath;
breathing in the Holy,
breathing out the Holy...
The Sacredness of The Breath
brings her back;
being breathed by the
Holy Bellows...

Resuscitating the Quiet Core,
she falls back into deep Rest -
just breathing...

The Holy Quiet permeates
her body again with the gentle
vibration of her Aliveness...

AFTERNOON

Relinquish yourself.
I mean this little voice
That feels it is in charge,
Entangled in things and situations.

Leave it behind.
Take height.
Experience how you can be
Detached from it.

Let it uninvolved,
It will smoothly die;
Will be englobed
By something higher, bigger.

It will release
Its illusory presence,
Replaced by the one only being
That it so superbly ignored.

Be global. Be whole.
Take your stand as
The one thing in you that is
Complete, encompassing, ever present.

Stay with it. Be it.
For it is you, the real you
That you have left behind
Unexplored, unseen, neglected.

For you have busied yourself
With all things apparently separate;
Have engaged in an endless conversation
With a precarious little voice.
Don’t.

Be like a prince: watch every thing
From the heights of your Self.
Let yourself go. Be with what is left.
With your long-neglected Self.

The Neglected Self
by Alain Joly

My work, as I see it,
is to cultivate the garden of creativity
by being so wholly present
that I am absent,
disappearing entirely into
the movement of making,
and marvelling at what gets made.

Later
– often much later –
meaning might arrive.
Or not.

Who (be quiet) Are you

Be still
Listen to the stones of the wall.
Be silent, they try
To speak your
Name.

Listen
To the living walls.
Who are you?

Who
Are you? Whose
Silence are you?

Who (be quiet)
Are you (as these stones
Are quiet). Do not
Think of what you are
Still less of

What you may one day be.
Rather
Be what you are (but who?) be
The unthinkable one
You do not know.

O be still, while
You are still alive,
And all things live around you
Speaking (I do not hear)
To your own being,
Speaking by the Unknown
That is in you and in themselves.

“I will try, like them
To be my own silence:
And this is difficult. The whole
World is secretly on fire. The stones
Burn, even the stones
They burn me. How can a man be still or
Listen to all things burning? How can he dare
To sit with them when
All their silence
Is on fire?”

—Thomas Merton

God Blows Through You
You should not wait until God comes to you

And says: “I am”.

A God, whose strength is vouched for, proved,
Is senseless, mad.

Yet you must know, though, that God blows through you
Since time began,

And when your heart glows warm and remains true,
He works his plan.

Rainier Maria Rilke

Everything good is costly,
and the development of the personality
is one of the most costly of all things.
It will cost you your innocence,
your illusions, your certainty.

5:42 AM-6/6/20

The world's spiritual geniuses seem to discover universally
that the mind's muddy river,
this ceaseless flow of trivia and trash,
cannot be dammed,
and that trying to dam it is a waste of effort
that might lead to madness.

Instead you must
allow the muddy river to flow unheeded
in the dim channels of consciousness;
you raise your sights;

you look along it, mildly,
acknowledging its presence without interest
and gazing beyond it into the realm of the real
where subjects and objects act
and
rest purely,
without utterance.

AFTERNOON

You see what the eye does teach;
and yet it would never of itself
have afforded this insight, without something
that looks through the eyes
and uses the data of the senses
as mere guides to penetrate
from the apparent to the unseen.

It is needless
to add the methods of geometry
that lead us step by step
through visible delineations
to truths that lie out of sight,
and countless other instances
which all prove that apprehension
is the work of an intellectual essence
deeply seated in our nature,
acting through the operation
of our bodily senses.

—St. Gregory of Nyssa (335 – 395)
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2020/06/is-it-body-that-is-thinking-or-is-it.html

If you’ve got somebody’s aspects
in your experience that you don’t like,
there’s only one reason they’re there.
You keep evoking them with your attention to them.

Without knowing about Law of Attraction, you have
— through your old habit of observation --
achieved vibrational harmony with the parts of them
that you do not like,...
and you keep summoning
those parts from them
by your constant
vibrational offering of them.
Esther (Hicks)
(and Abraham and Jerry)

First, forget what time it is
for an hour
do it regularly every day

then forget what day of the week it is
and do this regularly for a week
then forget what country you are in
and practice doing it in company
for a week
and then do them together
for a week
with as few breaks as possible

follow these by forgetting to add
or to subtract
it makes no difference
you can change them
around after a week
both will help you later
to forget how to count

forget how to count
starting with your own age
starting with how to count backwards
starting with even numbers
with Roman numerals
starting with fractions of Roman numerals
with the old calendar
going on to the old alphabet
going on to the alphabet
forgetting it all until everything
is continuous again

go on to forgetting elements
starting with water
proceeding to earth
rising in fire

forget fire

this less "bells & whistles" utube version..
....in case the above version is difficult to manage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=22&v=LUOzTsmugb0&feature=emb_logo

I believe that our distant nomadic ancestors came forward and survived
because they could hear distant, faint birdsong
as an acoustic navigational beacon, if you will,
and by moving toward the birdsong,
they were able to find places with shelter, food, and water,
and a prosperous growing region.

Indeed, birdsong is the number one indicator
of habitats prosperous to humans.
Gordon Hempton

The most sensitive frequencies
are at the resonant frequencies of the auditory canal.
In other words, the ear has shaped itself
to naturally amplify certain bandwidth.
And that corresponds to sounds in that bandwidth
that were most important to our evolving ancestors to hear,
in order to survive.
And it doesn't match the human voice.
It matches birdsong.
Gordon Hempton

Noise pollution is basically defined as the presence
of simple information that makes it impossible to hear
all the other more delicate - and often more important - information.

Noise pollution creates, if you will, dumb environments.
Our industrial areas, many of our downtown urban areas,
are dumb acoustic environments.
Very simple, very loud, often unhealthy.
Gordon Hempton

If you're going to listen,
you have to be willing to be changed by what you've heard.
My life has gone through so many changes.
I'm sixty-two years old right now,
and I'm as busy changing now
as I was when I was a teenager, or in my twenties.

Every day is different.
Every day brings new information.
Gordon Hempton

The birds are already evolving,
changing the way that they sing as a result of noise pollution.
And we have yet to do that.

We're still not communicating.
We're not changing our words.
We are not testing, not providing this new lexicon
for noise-polluted areas.
Gordon Hempton

You can listen to a birdsong,
and from the content of the birdsong,
you will be able to determine whether or not
the bird grew up in a noise-polluted environment
or
whether it grew up
in a pristine, clean environment.

Isn't that incredible?
Gordon Hempton

The normal way of gathering information is through sound:
when you hear information that you want to gather,
you look in its direction,
you see what it is,
if you choose you can get closer,
you can see it, you can touch,
and then, finally,
the most committed form of data gathering
is to taste it and eat it.

But for the urbanite,
we're cut off from our primary sense,
and I want to stress that
- our primary sense of gathering information
about the place that we're living in -
and instead,
we're in a war zone.
Gordon Hempton

Many environmentalists have failed to recognize
that the preservation of quiet areas,
places off-limits to noise pollution,
should probably be a number-one environmental concern,
not something we're going to get to later.

And I say that because in that quiet
is a whole experience that people can have
that reaches to their soul.

I like to think of quiet places in nature as
the think tank of the soul.
It's in these very basic levels
that we'll be able to see
what the real problem is.

ETERNAL'S ENSOULED EMBODIMENT "...silence which peels me.." MILESTONE June 2, 2019

AFTERNOON

truth is not always real
When you recognize that we are the product of purposeless, mindless
laws of physics playing themselves out on our particles
— because we are, all, bags of particles --
it changes the way
you search for meaning and purpose:

You recognize that looking out to the cosmos
...to find some answer that’s sort of floating out there in the void...
is just facing the wrong direction.

At the end of the day,
we have to manufacture our own meaning,
our own purpose
— we have to manufacture coherence…
to make sense of existence.

And when you manufacture purpose,
that doesn’t make it artificial--
that makes it so much more noble
than accepting purpose
that is thrust upon you
from the outer world.
~Brian Greene
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/06/01/32471/

Of course, life is full of all kinds of textures
—joy, anticipation, disappointment, love, fun, loneliness--
suffering actually comes
when we resist this fluid situation.

Suffering comes from wanting
to hold on and grasp our lives’ circumstances
and make them predictable and certain.

Our prejudices and addictions are patterns
that arise from the fear of a fluid world.
During this uncomfortable time,
we can learn to include suffering as part of our experience,
rather than push it away.

One powerful way to do this is to simply stop (the hard part)
and just feel in your body where you’re tight,
where you’re grasping.

The stomach might be tight, our jaw is clenched,
we have a tightness in the chest.

Just be with that and breathe.
Extend kindness to yourself and remember
that feeling discomfort is a fact of life,
in fact,
it means you’re alive!
~H. Strongheart
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/06/01/32471/

Joy is not overrated,
for it is the glue of balance
for a Human seeking a way out of the
darkness
of
depression and suffering.

A moment of you can erase months
of uncertainty and sorrow
for a Human who is desperate
to see the light of laughter.

Joy is the staple of children, who seek it out, demand it,
and use it to its fullest.

The natural state of children is laughter
and all that steps on it
is inappropriate.

For Grief - John O'Donohue

When you lose someone you love,
Your life becomes strange,
The ground beneath you gets fragile,
Your thoughts make your eyes unsure;
And some dead echo drags your voice down
Where words have no confidence/
Your heart has grown heavy with loss;
And though this loss has wounded others too,
No one knows what has been taken from you
When the silence of absence deepens.

Flickers of guilt kindle regret
For all that was left unsaid and undone.

There are days when you wake up happy;
Again inside the fullness of life,
Until the moment breaks
And you are thrown back
Onto the black tide of loss.

Days when you have your heart back,
You are able to function well
Until the middle of work or encounter,
Suddenly with no warning,
You are ambushed by grief.

It becomes hard to trust yourself.
All you can depend on now is that
Sorrow will remain faithful to itself.
More than you, it knows its way
And will find the right time
To pull and pull the rope of grief
Until that coiled hill of tears
Has reduced to its last drop.

Gradually, you will learn acquaintance
With the invisible form of your departed;
And, when the work of grief is done,
The wound of loss will heal
And you will have learned
To wean your eyes
From the gap in the air
And be able to enter the hearth
in your soul where your loved one
Has awaited your return...

John O'Donohue

You make the commitment and nature will respond
to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles.

This is the trick.
This is what all these teachers
and philosophers who really counted,
who really touched the alchemical gold,
this is what they understood.

This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall.
This is how magic is done.

By hurling yourself into the abyss
and
discovering
it’s a feather bed.

Sagittarius- Tuesday, May 26, 2020
Some insights inspired by Mercury’s journey towards the Sun
will help you put some distance between yourself and a crazy drama.
A happy resolution is in the offing and perhaps even a cause for celebration.
A long spell of frustration and exasperation
is rapidly coming to an end.
Luck is on your side now.
What was once impossible
will soon look remarkably feasible.

TUESDAY MAY 26, 2020

SWEPT INTO A MAGICAL WORLD OF BLISS
The world as we know it is going through rapid-fire changes
of which we have no control.
These changes are forcing you to adapt fast to a new reality.
All will be well.
Conditions are perfect now
to see deep into yourself and purge yourself
of any debilitating behaviour patterns
that are undermining your personal power.

Your challenges, rather than thwarting progress,
are actually bumping you onto the road to success.
You have the freedom to mold your life according to your dreams.

Self-doubt and guilt are the greatest enemies of success and happiness.
So, master your fears and inhibitions by being bold and confident.

The hidden power of your soul
will be activated and galvanized into action.
You will be swept off your feet
and carried off into
a thrilling world of bliss.

AFTERNOON

Briefly Here - Jim Wilson
Briefly
We walk this earth.
We have
But a short time.

We resemble grasses;
Green in the spring,
Brown in the summer heart,
Withering in the winter wind.

Those who understand this
Put aside their useless quarrels.
The cosmos is unfathomably vast.
The human mind is very small.

An act of kindness is never wasted;
it is the gateway to the deathless and unborn,
it is the exultation of the heart.

Jim Wilson

If you could see with your spiritual eye you would see a rainbow of colors
. The color scheme is so beautiful in the astral world.
This world is relatively ugly here,
and a million angels are passing here right now and you don’t see them.
We are all as blind as a bat.
Because our eyes have been spoiled by gross light.

We are slowed down sound and light waves,
a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos.
We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments
and our bodies are the instruments
through which our souls play their music.
—Albert Einstein ...

.In the ocean are many bright strands
and many dark strands
like veins that are seen
when a wing is lifted up.....

...Your hidden self is blood in those,
those veins that are lute strings that make ocean music –
not the sad sound of surf,
but the
sound of no shore.

I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope,
for hope would be hope for the wrong thing;
wait without love,
for love would be love of the wrong thing;
there is yet faith,
but the faith and the love are all in the waiting.

Wait without thought,
for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light,
and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot

Sometimes I’m swimming against currents that are so strong,
that even my best attempts are going to result in backward motion.
Last month, when I swam across the Chesapeake Bay,
at times there were cross currents and headwinds that made it feel
as though you were swimming in a washing machine.

January 17, 2017

I kept looking up to see how far I had to go.
However, every time I did that I swallowed
a gush of diesel-tasting water and hurt my shoulder.
I made better progress when I kept my head in the water,
forgot about where I was going or how far to land,
and just focused on one stroke after another.

February 11, 2015

It seems as though the darker the place,
the less thinking required.
Maybe Eliot maybe knew something about severe depression
when he said just be still, don’t think.

Soon the darkness will be the light,
and the stillness the dancing.

In the Garden of The Beloved
NAME AND FORM
Don’t call Me “The Beloved”, She said.
Don’t call Me “The Beautiful One”.
Don’t call Me anything at all.
Don’t imagine Me Transcendent, She said.
Don’t imagine Me as Immanent.
Don’t imagine Me at all.

Let your Attention Fall, Heartlong,
Into the depths of your Deepest Interiority.
Vanish, into the Essence of what you Are.
Don’t call it Soul, She said.
Don’t call it Atman.
Don’t call it anything at all.
Don’t imagine it as spirit, She said.
Don’t imagine a formless “something”.
Don’t imagine it at all.

Vanish there, along with all of creation,
And, no longer existing as one existent,
Exist in the Ecstasy of Nonexistence.
When you return from that Heaven,
Give Me a name, if you must.

Imagine Me, if you must.
But do not insist that others name Me so,
Or imagine Me in the way you have,
For neither of these are what I Am.

Remember, above all things remembered,
I am no word spoken or image imagined,
But Am, above all else, Love.
Forgetting this…
You have remembered nothing,
And have forgotten everything.

Qusntumming Table Arrives - Island Sanctarii Massage Table-A Gift from Friends

It is not enough to be quiet,...
It is necessary to become silence.
Robert Cardinal Sarah
https://mereorthodoxy.com/book-review-power-silence-robert-cardinal-sarah/

A Sublime Hope
In silence,
man can tell how limited earthly time is.
In sickness
it is possible for us to live almost
perfectly attuned to God.

The silent examination of conscience,
at the heart of the pain,
allows man to look at what he has made of his life
and what remains is for him to accomplish.

Sickness is a sublime hope in the great silence of God.

If man rebels against sickness,
he falls little by little into a sterile despair, a blind alley,
and aggressive anxious refusal.

Rebellion is not resistance,
which is first and foremost a silent interior step.

Our Lungs hold Our Grief:
What COVID-19 might be Trying to Tell Us.

We must, for our survival, heal our collective hurts and wounds.
We must start bridging the great divides that separate our hearts from each other.

We must start paying attention to our sweet mama Earth.
And it starts with healing our personal grief, hurts, and wounds.

It starts with the radical notion of loving oneself.
It starts with being fully present in our own hearts.
It starts with taking a breath deep into our lungs—one of gratitude, love, and joy, one of holding with tenderness
the grief that is also present.

Grief is literally one breath after another.
It is making space for change,
knowing that many parts inside will resist.

It is not giving up on ourselves
when we slide back into old ways and old habits.
It is coming back into the space inside our chests
that holds the knowing.

It is trusting and being present in our bodies,
in our lungs, and in our hearts.
Our survival depends on whether or not
we allow ourselves to feel and heal our grief.

AFTERNOON

when laying low is an act of kind discretion...
inquiry for today~ how can we say no more often?
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/04/24/32208/

We live in a time of the dissected soul,
the immediate disclosure;
our thoughts, imaginings and longings
exposed to the light too much,
too early and too often,
our best qualities squeezed too soon
into a world already awash
with too easily articulated ideas
that oppress our sense of self
and
our sense of others.

What is real
is almost always to begin with, hidden,
and does not want to be understood
by the part of our mind that mistakenly
thinks it knows what is happening.
What is precious inside us
does not care to be known by the mind
in ways that diminish its presence.

Hiding is an act of freedom
from the misunderstanding of others,
especially in the enclosing world of oppressive
secret government and private entities,
attempting to name us, to anticipate us,
to leave us with no place to hide and grow
in ways unmanaged by a creeping necessity
for absolute naming,
absolute tracking and absolute control.

Hiding is a bid for independence, from others,
from mistaken ideas we have about our selves,
from an oppressive and mistaken wish
to keep us completely safe,
completely ministered to,
and therefore completely managed.

Hiding is creative,
necessary
and
beautifully subversive
of
outside interference and control.

Hiding leaves life to itself,
to become more of itself.

Hiding is the radical independence necessary
for our emergence
into the light of a proper human future.
~David Whyte
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/04/24/32208/

When I see that my thought is incapable of understanding,
that its movement brings nothing,
I am open to the sense of the cosmic,

“Think ‘I am suffering’,
and you are suffering.

Replace the thought ‘I am suffering’
with the thought ‘I am free, I am Freedom,
I am Consciousness, I am not the body’.

Do not kiss your ego by saying ‘I am suffering’,
rather kiss yourself by saying
‘I am Free’.”

People who can open to the web of life
that called us into being.

Below excerpts in this font from:
Who Knew?
Amidha K. Porter, M.A.

We must be willing to let go of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell

The Veda tells us that change is constant, that the nature of the relative world is continual change, always.
Like the weather in Montana:
if you don't like it,
wait a few minutes,
it will change.

But the Veda also tells us that the changing nature of the universe is always progressive.
Evolution is the only thing that's ever happening here. Always.

Like rivers always flowing downstream:
regardless of how many curves and meanderings
they may take,
they always reach the ocean.

Downstream flow is the nature of water.
And evolution is the nature of consciousness. Consciousness cannot help but evolve.
It cannot help but expand, widen, deepen, grow.
This is its very nature.
Though we may resist it or ignore it,
pretend it isn't so,
in fact it is so. It always has been,
it always will be.
Jeff Kober

Remember that all through history,
there have been tyrants and murderers,
and for a time, they seem invincible.
But in the end, they always fall.
Always.

*Unlike in the physical world,
there is no instrument to measure your soul’s resonance.
The only measure of resonance is your feelings.
For that, you have to look inside and do some introspection.
It requires a little effort but once you have found it,
it’s the most effortless state to be in.

Among the mundane activities,
these spikes of resonance are capable of igniting
the missing sparks in our lives
which makes this journey more enjoyable and fun.

For once it’s not about a means to an end anymore
as you are not YOU anymore,
you become what you are doing.

And in becoming something that you are meant to be,
you add a new dimension to your life
where every cell of your body fully participates
and hence RESONATES.

Life becomes a symphony whose music, words, and rhythm
are in sync with your SOUL.
This synchronization
of your
inner being and outer world
is your

AFTERNOON

Learning to Stay Quietly at Home

The silence of everyday life is an indispensable condition
for living with others.
Without the capacity for silence,
man is incapable of hearing, loving, and understanding
the people around him.

Charity is born of silence.
It proceeds from a silent heart that is able to hear,
to listen, and to welcome.

Silence and peace have one and the same heartbeat.

In the noise of everyday life
there is always a certain agitation that is stirred up in man.

Noise is never serene,
and it is not conducive to understanding another person.
How right Pascal was when he wrote in his Pensees,

"All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact,
that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber".

The Power of Silence
Robert Cardinal Sarah
https://www.ignatius.com/The-Power-of-Silence-P1989.aspx

The greatest things are accomplished in silence--
not in the clamor and display of superficial eventfulness,
but in the deep clarity of inner vision;
in the almost imperceptible start of decision,
in quiet overcoming and hidden sacrifice.
― Robert Sarah,
The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise

As Elizabeth Gilbert says in Big Magic,

“Making art does sometimes feel like
you’re holding a séance,
or like you’re calling out in the night
for a wild animal on the prowl.

What you’re doing seems impossible and even silly,
but then you hear the thunder of hooves,
and some beautiful beast comes rushing into the glade, searching for you
just as urgently as
you have been searching for it.”
Quoted here:
https://quillofthegoddess.com/2020/03/24/vessels-of-light/

Charlotte Joko Beck - Observing

I have been asked,
“Isn’t observing a dualistic practice?
Because when we are observing,
something is observing something else.”

But in fact it’s not dualistic.
The observer is empty.

Instead of a separate observer,
we should say there is just observing.
There is no one that hears,
there is just hearing.
There is no one that sees,
there is just seeing.

But we don’t quite grasp that.

If we practice hard enough, however,
we learn that not only is the observer empty,
but that which is observed is also empty.
At this point the observer (or witness) collapses…

Why does the observer finally collapse?
When nothing sees nothing,
what do we have?
Just the wonder of life.

There is no one who is separated from anything.
There is just life living itself:
hearing, touching, seeing, smelling, thinking.
That is the state of love or compassion…

We don’t have to try to find it.
It’s our natural state when ego is absent.

TRANSPARENT SILENCE OF ORIGIN
April 13, 2019

We are solitary.
We can delude ourselves about this
and act as if it were not true.
That is all.
But how much better it is to recognize
that we are alone;
yes, even to begin from this realization.
Rainer Maria Rilke

We have been put into life
as into the element we most accord with,
and we have, moreover, through thousands of years of adaptation, come to resemble this life so greatly
that when we hold still,
through a fortunate mimicry
we can hardly be differentiated
from everything around us.

We have no reason to harbour
any mistrust against our world,
for it is not against us.
If it has terrors, they are our terrors;
if it has abysses, these abysses belong to us;
if there are dangers, we must try to love them.

And if only we arrange our life in accordance
with the principle which tells us
that we must always trust in the difficult,
then what now appears to us as the most alien
will become
our most intimate and trusted experience.

How could we forget those ancient myths
that stand at the beginning of all races,
the myths about dragons that at the last moment
are transformed into princesses?
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses
who are only waiting to see us act,
just once,
with beauty and courage …

Rainer Maria Rilke

Paris, on the second day of Christmas 1908
It must be immense, this silence,
in which sounds and movements have room,
and if one thinks that along with all this
the presence of the distant sea also resounds,
perhaps as the innermost note in this prehistoric harmony,
then one can only wish
that you are trustingly and patiently
letting the magnificent solitude work upon you,
this solitude which can no longer
be erased from your life;
which, in everything that is in store
for you to experience and to do,
will act an anonymous influence,
continuously and gently decisive,
rather as the blood of our ancestors
incessantly moves in us and combines
with our own to form the unique,
unrepeatable being
that we are at every turning of our life.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Furuborg, Jonsered, Sweden, 4th November 1904
… just the wish that you may find in yourself enough patience to endure and enough simplicity to have faith; that you may gain more and more confidence in what is difficult and in your solitude among other people. And as for the rest, let life happen to you.
Believe me:
life is in the right, always.

—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

AFTERNOON

A man went for a walk one day.
As he walked,
he became aware that he was feeling lost and alone.

Rather than push the feelings away,
he allowed them to be present with him.
"I'm lost. I am all alone,"
he cried to himself.

A deep sadness arose within him.

Suddenly a voice arose from a deeper level.
"If you are lost, then where are you?"

It was the voice of his Being.
It was the voice of truth.

The man paused to consider the question.
"If I am lost, then where am I?" he asked aloud.
He sat down and as much as possible,
he became present with his feelings.

"I am lost. I am all alone!" he repeated several times.

Once again the voice of his Being gently challenged him.
"You say you are lost.
Then where are you?"

The man tried to see where he was.
Suddenly, it became clear to him.

"I am lost in my mind!" he cried.

It was so simple.
He was lost in his mind.
He was lost somewhere in his remembered past.
Or somewhere in his imagined future.

One thing was clear.
He was not here now.

He closed his eyes and became very still.
He became very aware of his body and his breath.
He became very aware of the sounds around him.
He could feel the soft caress
of the breeze upon his face.

He became silent.

He began to feel very present.

The feeling of being lost and alone disappeared.
He paused for a few moments in silent gratitude.
He opened his eyes
and his heart exploded with joy
as a bird soared into the sky.

Come, my people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until the fury has passed by.
. ~ Isaiah 26:20

The kingdom of God is not in the clouds,
in some designated point of space;
it is right behind the darkness
that you perceive with closed eyes.

AFTERNOON

The intersection of the macro universe
and the micro universe will create a gate,
or a door.
Lao Tzu called this
“the door to all wonders.”

This is where yin and yang merge harmoniously.
This is also called the Middle Way.
—Henry Chang

HOLY FIRE
For that forty minutes last night
I was as purely sensitive and mute as a photographic plate;
I received impressions, but I did not print out captions.
My own self-awareness had disappeared;
it seems now almost as though, had I been wired to electrodes,
my EEG would have been flat.

I have done this sort of thing so often
that I have lost self-consciousness
about moving slowly and halting suddenly.
And I have often noticed that even a few minutes
of this self-forgetfulness is tremendously invigorating.

I wonder if we do not waste most of our energy
just by spending every waking minute
saying hello to ourselves.

Martin Buber quotes an old Hasid master who said,
“When you walk across the field
with your mind pure and holy,
then from all the stones, and all growing things,
and all animals, the sparks of their souls
come out and cling to you,
and then they are purified
and become a holy fire in you."
- Annie Dillard (1945 - )
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
http://tao-of-digital-photography.blogspot.com/2020/04/holy-fire.html

Holy Saturday

I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope,
for hope would be hope for the wrong thing;
wait without love,
for love would be love of the wrong thing;
there is yet faith,
but the faith and the love are all in the waiting.

Wait without thought,
for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light,
and the stillness the dancing.

T.S. Eliot

Friend Rosemary's Granddaughter...Flying Lessons!

There is no insurmountable solitude.
All paths lead to the same goal:
to convey to others what we are.

And we must pass through solitude and difficulty,
isolation and silence
in order to reach forth to the enchanted place
where we can dance our clumsy dance
and sing our sorrowful song --

but in this dance or in this song
there are fulfilled the most ancient rites
of our conscience in the awareness
of being human and
of believing in a common destiny.
—Pablo Neruda

AFTERNOON

You need not do anything.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, just wait.

You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet, still and solitary,
and the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.

It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Waiting for the Words - Etty Hillesum

The only words I want to write
are those normally woven into great silence,
not those merely that serve to drown out
silence and to pull it apart.

They should simply emphasize the silence.....
and around it space,
not empty but inspired.

The few great things that matter in life
can be said in a few words.
I hate the accumulation of words.

I would like to brush in a few words
against a wordless background.
To describe the silence and the stillness
and to inspire them.

What matters is the right relationship
between words and wordlessness,
the wordlessness in which much happens
than all the words one can string together...

We must speak about the Ultimate only when the words
well up inside us as simply and as naturally as water
from a spring...
Say only what is absolutely essential...
and become more concentrated in yourself...

I cannot stop searching for.....the one word that sums
up everything within me... So I shall wait patiently
until the words have grown inside me...

Etty Hillesum

This book introduces the idea that by stepping out of fear by acknowledging
that what is real cannot be just a projection of the mind
-and thus discovering where fear cannot intrude-
transformation and peace are possible.

Its message is taken from
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
The power of the book is such
that it brings attentive readers
to the very state it describes.

Back in 1981, Sylvia Browne (a famous psychic) wrote a book called END OF DAYS.
In that book she predicted:
“In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes, and resisting all known treatments.
Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived,
attack again ten years later,
and then disappear completely.”
Patricia Atwater

To name Tao
Is to name no-thing
Tao is not the name
Of "an existent."

"Cause" and "change"
Have no bearing on Tao.
Tao is a name
That indicates
Without defining.

Tao is beyond words
And beyond things.
It is not expressed
Either in word or in silence.
Where there is no longer word or silence
Tao is apprehended.

The saints differ from us in their exuberance,
the excess of our human talents.
Moderation is not their secret.
It is in the wildness of their dreams,
the desperate vitality of their ambitions
that they stand apart
from ordinary people of good will.
Phyllis McGinley
How Saints Differ

A fertile solitude
is a benign forgetting of the body that takes care of itself… A productive solitude,
the solitude in which
what could never have been anticipated appears,
is linked with a quality of attention.
Adam Phillips

Eternity is not a long time;
rather, it is another dimension.
It is that dimension to which time-thinking shuts us.
And so there never was a creation.
Rather, there is a continuous creating going on.
energy is pouring into every cell of our being right now,
board and brick of the buildings we sit in,
every grain of sand and wisp of wind.

—Joseph Campbell
Myths of Light

You would measure time
the measureless and the immeasurable.
You would adjust your conduct
and even direct the course of your spirit
according to hours and seasons.

Of time you would make a stream
upon whose bank you would sit
and watch its flowing.
Yet the timeless in you
is aware of life’s timelessness,
And knows that yesterday
is but today’s memory
and tomorrow is today’s dream.

And that that which sings
and contemplates in you is still dwelling
within the bounds of that first moment
which scattered the stars into space.

—Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931)

For the birds there is not a time that they tell,
but the point vierge
between darkness and light,
between being and nonbeing.

You can tell yourself the time by their waking,
if you are experienced.

But that is your folly, not theirs.

Mystical Spirituality...
Being an unapologetic "mystic" at Heart, since childhood,
means for me experiencing the Living Presence of Life
that animates all life.
Some call that God, The Divine, The Beloved, The Ineffable,
"The Mystery", Consciousness, Infinite Being, Spirit, Brahman,
The Tao, etc., etc., etc.

It has many names and forms.
It means being able to see and experience "The Mystery"
in the every-day-ness of life;
something I'm still "working" on -
being more aware of the Sacred in a chaotic world,
in the mundane personal affairs of living;
the requirements of daily life:
in the must do's and the have-to's
that always find their way to the top of my list,
and seem to drive
life...

A "mystical spirituality" pertains to direct experience
with Ultimate Reality/The Divine/"The Mystery"...
Some may assume that a
"mystic" doesn't experience the darker feelings
and frustrations with living the Cosmic Dance of life.

That has not been my experience.
A "mystic" just experiences them
within context of the Greater Reality
- and learns to embrace them
as part of the totality of experience.
Some feel that a "mystic" has special insights, or powers, or visions,
or is only interested in seeking "mystical experiences."

For me it is not about seeking experiences,

but being open to the
movement of "The Mystery",
the movement of Consciousness
through its many expressions,
and at times experiencing
an intimate encounter
with what I know to be "The Divine"

like my Epiphany in Nov. 2013,
or Waking Up To Bliss like I did recently, or "meditative
writings" many years ago,
and poetry that sometimes just spills
out onto the page.

Mystical Spirituality acknowledges the universality
of what most have come to call "God,"
"The Divine", or Buddha Nature (Dharmakaya),
not associated with any particular faith, religion, or practice,
but a transcendent truth -
realizing that humans, at the very core of their
being are both "Divine" and human;
formlessness and form, spirit
in matter, Timelessness in time...

This "union" takes place within ourselves
with the realization that we are not a separate entity from
our Divinity, from Consciousness ItSelf,
needing to grovel our way back -
but that "comm-union" is always happening.
There is always
only the movement of "Divinity" through life,
through us.
There is no other "Higher" Self to search for.
It's all Here within us...

Wayne Teasdale, a 20th Century Christian Mystic, and author of
A Mystic Heart, says:
"Mystical Spirituality draws us into the depths
of our Being, where we come face to face with ourselves,
our weakness AND with the Ultimate Mystery.
Spirituality is not external religiosity,
not confined to ritual and liturgy.
It is a way of life that affects and
includes every moment of existence.
It is a disposition to a life of depth."

He goes on -
"How we make the journey is what spirituality is really
about - finding our own path.
This means finding a way to/awareness
of the vast unlimited Consciousness of The Divine,
The Mystery within.

We are created for this 'spiritual journey' -
the direct and immediate experience of Ultimate Reality,
which knows everything as ItSelf.
Being infinitely aware,
it knows in a unitive and universal
fashion through awareness
of no distance between ourselves and
the Ultimate Mystery...
The spiritual journey is essentially one of
discovering the roots of our true identity.
It is a process of the totality
of Consciousness,
from which we arise.

He further says -
"Everything is part of an undivided wholeness where
each being reflects this totality.
Non-duality means
'not two, and yet, not one.'
[I know this is not the traditional Advaita/Non-dual
definition, but it is my experience as well.]
That is, the relationship
between Divine Reality and human being
is a subtle distinction,
but not a separation.
And so the relationship is said to be non-dual.
Human beings are essentially Divine."
[or Pure Consciousness, etc.]

Two Difficulties on the Path of Meditation – Osho
MEDITATION = WITNESSING
BY OSHO

Good or evil, beautiful or ugly, you are separate.
You are the witness, you are just a mirror.
Anything that passes by does not affect the mirror at all. Something good – the mirror reflects.
Something bad – the mirror reflects.
When they have gone,
the mirror is as empty as ever.

Your consciousness is a mirror,
and your consciousness is neither good nor bad.
Your consciousness may have lived thousands of years,
but not even a scratch is possible on your consciousness.
It only reflects; its function is reflection.
That’s why I say the divine between you and me is the same – there is no difference at all.

I just have recognized
that the witnessing is a pure mirror,
eternally pure –
and you get identified,
you forget. […]

Once you get the knack of witnessing without judgment
you will be surprised:
the moment you are utterly a witness
all the thoughts disappear.
There is simply a plain white screen and no thoughts.

This is the first experience,
that you have come to the door of meditation.
Just go on looking at the white screen.
Don’t do anything.
Consciousness has a nature –
if it cannot find any object which prevents it,
then it goes round and comes back to you.

6:49 AM SINGLE SET OF FOOTPRINTS POOFING ALL ASPECTS OF BEING IN THE LIGHT

What we speak
becomes the house
we live in.
Who will want
to sleep in your bed
if the roof leaks
right above it?

Fear is the
cheapest room
in the house,
I would like
to see you living
in better conditions.

There is only one reason
we have followed God
into this world:
to encourage laughter,
freedom,
dance and love ....

God and I are rushing
from every corner of
existence,
needing to say
we are yours.

The sun never says
to the earth,
even after all this time
“you owe me”.

I once asked a bird
how is it that you
fly in this gravity
of darkness?
she responded,
love lifts me.

I should not make
any promises right now
but I know if you pray
somewhere in this world
something good
will happen.

—Hafiz
Daniel Ladinsky and
Robert Bly translations

The spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness
there he met the wild beast.
Angels ministered to him. ~ St. Mark

All the great religions, at least at the mature level, recognize that we need a different set of eyes to read, to understand spiritual realities…If we approach spiritual realities with the same Mexican jumping bean mind that we approach our everyday life, we are not going very far or seeing very much.

“This verse portrays the entire journey of prayer,” says Fr. Rohr. “Jesus had to be driven into the wilderness, as do we all.”
Few of us willingly want to sit in silence and face our compulsive, trivial and negative mind.

“If you really sit in the silence and refuse to feed your compulsive…. style of thinking, what comes up are… unhealed hurts, past unresolved relationships…all the things you don’t want to see about yourself.”

The medieval Franciscans taught, “the human mind can only do two things, endlessly reprocess the past and endlessly worry about the future… the mind can’t be present in the now because you can’t think in the now…”

Rohr, a Franciscan himself, says you need a completely different set of tools to work with the present moment…
“the Now usually feels boring, lonely, inadequate…
it’s not enough.”
Rohr equates these feelings with the Franciscan ideal
of being “poor in spirit.”

“God refuses to be known by the intellect.
God only allows himself to be loved by the heart.”
Saint John of the Cross:

With advancing age my ideals,
which I usually deny possessing,
have definitely altered.
My ideal is to be free of ideals,
free of principles,
free of isms and ideologies.
I want to take to the ocean of life
like a fish takes to the sea…

AFTERNOON

Truth Does Not Come and Go

In similar fashion,
I learned this was also true of my experiences.
I discovered that as soon as I invested any value,
meaning, or purpose in them,
I was losing the pearl of great price
by giving them a premature closure.
It was only by investing
no value in an experience
that I was able to find out
its truth or falsity.

What is false never lasts,
it falls away of its own accord;
while what is true remains,
because truth does not come and go--
it is always there.

So as long as
our experiences come and go
and we are investing
in them our own values,
thoughts, and emotions,
we'll never find out
if there is any truth in them,
for truth is what remains
when there are no experiences left.

Your heart will fix itself.
It’s your mind you need to worry about.
Your mind where you locked the memories,
your mind where you have kept pieces
of the ones that hurt you,
that still cut through you
like shards of glass.

Your mind will keep you up at night,
make you cry,
destroy you over and over again.

You need to convince your mind
that it has to let go…
because your heart
already knows how to heal.

Yosy Flug - Speaking of love…

Once
I started
To speak
About love
Drawing out words
And images

Which, slow at first
Kept welling up
Flowing faster
Then I could draw…

...and then they burst out
Gushing
Like a fountain
So
I fell silent
Just watching
This endless spring
Unconcerned.

When thirsty,
I drink.
Tired, I doze off.

All is
As it should
Be.

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…

Silence Precedes You
Silence is ancient.
Silence has been in the space you are
at this very moment
for longer than anything else has.
It will remain after you leave
and exist long after
all other things have faded.
The Silence of Winter
From Pagan Thoughts on Yuletide
Quoted on the website: A Tradition of Silence

sight

Once
a single cell
found that it was full of light
and for the first time there was seeing

when
I was a bird
I could see where the stars had turned
and I set out on my journey

high
in the head of a mountain goat
I could see across a valley
under the shining trees something moving

deep
in the green sea
I saw the two sides of the water
and swam between them

I
look at you
in the first light of the morning
for as long as I can

To bring this life to a certain state of stillness,
one must completely dissociate
with the activity of the mind.
When your mind becomes still,
intelligence explodes ...

The Darkness has Wisdom too - Brooke McNamara
If you can't change yourself, after all
the efforts, change the light
by which you read your story.

Exchange overhead for something softer -
a lamp, a candle, a vine of shining
holiday lights - and feel yourself
become hugged by the fabric of shadows.

You see the darkness here has wisdom too.
You see the objects around become related
by the pregnant emptiness
that holds them,
and you.

Let this light reveal the rapture
of being just this. Then, further still, try
moonlight, or no light, until, at last,
this open, sourceless incandescence
which you are
no matter who you think you are
will follow you from the inside
wherever you may go, however
you may change, or not.

The waves of your life.

No matter
What You Are Given.

The Nobility Of Retreat.

I was dead. I came alive.
I was tears, I became laughter.
All because of Love,
my temporal life,
from then on changed to eternal.
– Rumi

Empty yourself of everything.
Let the mind rest at peace.
The ten thousand things rise and fall
while the Self watches their return.
They grow and flourish and then return to the source.
Returning to the source is stillness,
which is the way of nature.
Lao Tzu

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself
and know that everything in this life has a purpose.
There is no need to go to India
or anywhere else to find peace.

You will find that deep place of silence
right in your room,
your garden
or
even your bathtub.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

http://www.puresilence.org/a_tradition_of_silence.htm

In the attitude of silence
the soul finds the path in a clearer light,
and what is elusive and deceptive
resolves itself into crystal clearness.
Ghandi

At the still point of the turning world.
Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards;
at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement.
And do not all it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered.
Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline.
Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance,
and there is only the dance.
T.S. Eliot

There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done
in the mind's immobility and thought-free stillness.
When mind is still,
then truth gets her chance to be heard
in the purity of the silence.
Sri Aurobindo

Under all speech that is good for anything
there lies a silence that is better.
Silence is deep as Eternity;
speech is shallow as Time.
Thomas Carlyle

AFTERNOON

Sagittarius – Thursday, February 6, 2020

Getting a good plan off the ground is getting complicated due to a number of hard to control issues.
To get what you need,
it is necessary to simplify and prioritize
all the options at your disposal.
There is a foolproof way to successfully
pull yourself out of the stress zone.
Stop the chatter in your brain.

Listen to your breath for short spells.

And you will find all the answers you seek plus more
from an unconscious source.
https://boothstars.com/2020/02/06/sagittarius-thursday-february-6-2020/

Change the Lighting
If you can’t change yourself, after all
the efforts, change the light
by which you read your story.

Exchange overhead for something softer –
a lamp, a candle, a vine of shining
holiday lights – and feel yourself
become hugged by the fabric of shadows.

You see the darkness here has wisdom too.
You see these objects around become related
by the pregnant emptiness that holds them,
and you.

“I don't think..."

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Stop telling yourself what you are
and only be what you are.
Wu Hsin
Solving Yourself
August 21

Modern people have become pliantly trained,
having traded in our inner wilderness
for the opium glow of screens and more screens.

Our sedentary, indoor lifestyles
express our true domestication,
the Latin word for domesticus,
or “belonging to the house.”

For in the now 11 hours a day that Americans spend on screens, or 90 percent of the day that we are inside, anything that was once wild in us
has now laid down, obedient.

The lonely touch of keyboards;
the stale, recycled air of the indoors;
the plastic perfection of having everything new--
this is what has become the normalized expectation
of our consumeristic culture.

As Rewilding author Micah Mortali describes,
“We have come to see the earth as an endless resource instead of the source of our lives.”
https://www.elephantjournal.com/2020/01/rewilding-yourself-practices-for-everyday-life/

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

AFTERNOON

For One Who Is Exhausted
- John O'Donohue

When the rhythm of the heart becomes hectic,
Time takes on the strain until it breaks;
The all the unattended stress falls in
On the mind like an endless, increasing weight.

The light in the mind becomes dim.
Things you could take in your stride before
Now become labor some events of will.

Weariness invades your spirit.
Gravity begins falling inside you,
Dragging down every bone.

The tide you never valued has gone out.
And you are marooned on unsure ground.
Something within you has closed down;
And you cannot push yourself back to life.

You have been forced to enter empty time.
The desire that drove you has relinquished.
There is nothing else to do now but rest
And patiently learn to receive the self
You have forsaken in the race of days.

At first your thinking will darken
And sadness take over like listless weather.
The flow of unwept tears will frighten you.

You have traveled too fast over false ground;
now your soul has come to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles your rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day

Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.
Be excessively gently with yourself.

Stay clear of those vexed of spirit.
Learn to linger around someone of ease
Who feels they have all the time in the world.

Gradually, you will return to yourself,
Having learned a new respect for the heart
And joy that dwells far within slow time.

John O'Donohue

Where the lips are silent
the heart has a thousand tongues.
Rumi
https://inspirationfeed.com/rumi-quotes/

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.

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.

Each expiration will lead you
through a silver door,
a mirror of moonlight.
The key is silence.
Step through.

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.

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

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.
