Passing Through What Flows Into You

One's destination is never a place, 

but a new way of seeing things.

– Henry Miller

. . . . .

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by

the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. 

So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

– Mark Twain

Huge Like A Bloom Of Sun

 When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you

begin to discover that it's bottomless, that it doesn't have any resolution, that

this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much

warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.

– Pema Chodron

. . . . .

Every moment is unique, unknown, completely fresh.

– Pema Chodron

Lingering In The Mind, The Soul

TO BE FOUND

.

We are always looking for the mirror

by which we might see

our true Self

Look closely.

There is no place that mirror is not

Yet the vastness that we are

cannot be captured

in a single image

Through that One, see all beings

We are always listening for the voice

by which we might hear

our true Heart

Listen closely.

There is no place that voice does not resound

Yet the vastness that we are

cannot be captured

in a single sound

In that one tone, listen

as the whole universe sings back to you

The need to be seen, heard

through sacred reflections, and earthly echoes

is the guiding impulse of our basic sanity

Surrender.

While looking and listening,

as we must and as we will

Remember

the One

who looks and listens

Become the inward mirror of your searching eye

the inner echo of your true heartsong

Become the very Beloved you seek

There is nothing you are not

Nothing.

– Willow Pearson

Becoming Too Precious

Imagine if you will…

A baby black bear's shiny tipped nose

pressing in toward another pair of eyes

peering through a vacant window.

There, there it was –

a happy tail whose force 

was gathering strength

at the opening pitch

of another day.

, , , , ,

Until one has loved an animal,

a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

– Anatole France

Meanwhile, A Touch Of Yellow

Shouldering its way through

in so light and detached a way

an unblemished spot of yellow.

. . . . .

YELLOW (/ˈjɛloʊ/)
