EACH ETERNAL NOW "...charred by God's silences,..." August 3, 2020

BE APPRECIATING/HONOURING OF THE FACT
YOU DID NOT PERSONALLY CREATE THE ABILITY
TO HAVE A BOWEL MOVEMENT…
....OR ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL OF EXPERIENCES…
(PAST PRESENT FUTURE)
=
REMAIN ONLY IN EACH ETERNAL NOW MOMENT
APPRECIATING/HONOURING ALL PERCEPTIONS
WITHOUT TRYING TO MENTALLY UNDERSTAND
AND/OR
PROJECT UPON ILLUSORY OTHERS
OR
YOUR ILLUSORY SELF

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.

​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.

As a baby nurses at
Its mother’s breast,
One must nurse at
The source of life’s sustenance
So that one may discover
The essence of being.
