Poetry

The work of the eyes is done.

Go now and do the heart-work

on the images

imprisoned within you.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke.

We are One

The sun shines down,

and its image reflects a thousand

different pots filled with water.

The reflections are many,

but they are each reflecting the same sun.

Similarly, when we come to know who we truly are,

we will see ourselves in all people.

Remembering Wholeness

aum

that is the whole.

this is the whole.

from wholeness emerges wholeness.

wholeness coming from wholeness,

wholeness still remains.

Today's Inspirational Quote

let us remember ....

Artist Unknown

“Nothing can be given or taken away; 

nothing has been added or subtracted; 

nothing increased or diminished. 

We stand on the same shore before the same mighty ocean. 

The ocean of love. 

There it is - in perpetuum. 

As much in a broken blossom, 

the sound of a waterfall, 

the swoop of a carrion bird

 as in the thunderous artillery of the prophet. 

We move with eyes shut and ears stopped; 

we smash walls where doors are waiting to open to the touch; 

we grope for ladders, forgetting that we have wings; 

we pray as if God were deaf and blind, as if He were in a space. 

No wonder the angels in our midst are unrecognizable. 

One day it will be pleasant to remember these things.”
