Silence will carry your voice
like the nest that holds the sleeping birds.
​ —Rabindranath Tagore

Somewhere we know that without silence
words lose their meaning,
that without listening
speaking no longer heals,
that without distance
closeness cannot cure
Henri Nouwen

I know of a place not ruled by flatness 
Or constant risings and depressions, 
and those alive are not afraid to die. 

There wild flowers come up through the leafy floor, 
and the fragrance of "I am he" floats on the wind.

...There the love bee stays deep inside the flower 
and cares for no other thing.
—Kabir

 If you're not grateful for what you have,
you'll never be happy with what you get.
You'll always feel like you don't have enough.

You’ll regret the past,
because you could have 'done more'.
And you'll be anxious about the future,
because you could 'miss out' on riches.

Find gratitude for the smallest things -
the morning sun, a sip of water, your old shoes -
and happiness is yours,
no matter what you get
or what you lose.
- Jeff Foster

Stand still, O Beautiful End,
for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way. Let my thoughts come to you,
when I am gone,
like the afterglow of sunset
at the margin of starry silence.
If thou speakest not
​ I will fill my heart with thy silence and endure it.
​Tagore

AFTERNOON

The small truth has words that are clear;
the great truth has great silence.
~ Rabindranath Tagore 

Only by going alone in silence,
without baggage,
can one truly get into
​ the heart of the wilderness.
All other travel is mere dust and hotels
and baggage and chatter.
John Muir

Be quiet in your mind,
 quiet in your senses,
and also quiet in your body.
Then,
when all these are quiet,
don't do anything.
In that state
​ truth will reveal itself to you.
Kabir

Pristine Silence...

​Pristine Silence
Untainted, Untouched
filled my chest...

I gasped at its sudden, unbidden
Presence...
Golden Silk slicing through me
like warm clarified butter,
in undulating waves of light...

It arose again and again from within,
so clean and clear.
I marveled at its clarity;
undistilled, undisturbed clarity...

​This golden-hued Silence opened in my chest,
inviting me to look inside -
to see it clearly - to recognize "it."

This that I thought had been lost to me.
This - this Pristine Silence - that is the very
Presence of The Mystery...

I was both humbled and ecstatic
by the imagery - focused on the
Silken Silence that had cut through me,
opening me to ItSelf;
Inviting me inward in waves of
Golden Silk...

All I could do was watch internally -
in awe and wonder, as this Pristine Silence
split me open and kissed my heart -
and stayed...

Personal Note:
How does one even begin to accurately describe
The Presence of The Mystery - the Indescribable -
that leaves its touch, its image, imprinted forever in
the heart.  Words can only try to translate what is
experienced - the treasure that is found in awesome
 wonder - leaving one wordless...

When Realization dawns, then what happens? 
You are no longer 'you'. 
You remain established
in the inner silence and freedom
without any concern for your welfare,
content with whatever comes along -
and life goes on
in perfect effortlessness.

***

When you see that you have no control
over the results, you stop worrying about
the results and concentrate on the work
that is being done.

​Stop trying to heal yourself,
fix yourself,
even awaken yourself.
Let go of letting go.

Stop trying to fast-forward the movie of your life.
It gets so exhausting, doesn’t it,
always trying to get there,
chasing futures that never seem to arrive,
living on second-hand promises.
Instead,
bow deeply to yourself as you actually are.
Be here.
​
Honour this present scene in the movie.
Your pain, your sorrow, your doubts,
your deepest longings, your fearful thoughts,
are not mistakes,
and they aren’t asking to be healed.

They are asking to be held.
Here, now, lightly,
in the loving arms of present awareness… 
- Jeff Foster

​I CANNOT LOSE MYSELF
 
I used to be terrified of feelings, my own feelings and the feelings of others.
 
I believed that if I went too deeply into feelings,
if I let them exist for too long in me,
if I allowed them to live in my body,
I would go mad,
or I would be destroyed by them somehow.

Or they would never leave,
and I would get “stuck” in them forever,
sucked into their dark heart,
no way out.
 
I feared “losing myself” in feelings.
 
I feared my own fear.
I had anxiety about having anxiety.
I was angry with my own anger.
Like many,
I believed that I had dark, sinful,
dangerous energies inside of me,
and that I had to avoid these ‘demons’ at all costs.
This was all a child’s superstition, of course,
totally reasonable conclusions
for an innocent child to make.
 
But as I stepped into presence,
into my adult and out of my trauma,
I came to realise that ALL feelings are safe,
even the super intense ones.
They come and go in the body.
They are not permanent,
and they just want to be felt,
blessed, loved, offered safe passage,
and move on.
 
I did not have to fear or resist my feelings any longer,
even the intense and uncomfortable ones.
I could just relax, breathe, open, surrender, trust,
and let them pass through.
 
I cannot lose myself for I am present
​ even at the heart of loss.
