Shel Silverstein

 

Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

Ramana Maharshi

 

There are no others.Whatever you see outside, is your own reflection.Your mind is creating all of this.

Come, Dance…

Remember… the dance of Silence within; the vast Cosmic Dance of the Divine that exists within this Still Presence that we are…

Mystic Meandering

Wendell-Berry

 

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.

Danna Faulds

 

That's how you came here, like a star without a name... Rumi Be The Energy Trust the energy that courses through you. Trust - then take surrender even deeper. Be the energy. Don't push anything away. Follow each sensation back to its source and focus your awareness there. Be the ecstasy... Be unafraid of consummate wonder. Energy so new, so vulnerable, that you don't know who you are. Be the energy, and paradoxically, be at peace. Dare to be your own illumination, And blaze a trail across the clear night sky...

 

Hazrat Inayat Khan

 

The real abode of God is in the heart of mankind; when it is frozen with bitterness or hatred, the doors of the shrine are closed, the light is hidden.

CROWNED WITH THE STARS

"You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself flows in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you." 

Thomas Traherne

- Tao te Ching

 

The valley spirit never dies; It is the woman, primal mother. Her gateway is the root of heaven and earth. It is like a veil barely seen. Use it; it will never fail. 

THE TRUE INVINCIBLES

 

When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. 

Gandhi

HARNESSING THE ENERGIES OF LOVE

 

Some day, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire
