Sky
If blue sky is the Canvas for our thoughts, breathe air into the clouds that represent those thoughts
Serenity
Walk the razor path of life with your head held high and your shoulders back. remember choiceless awareness lest yee forget resistance to death brings great suffering. acceptance brings serenity. Be serene for others.
Nirvana
Some people think life should be heaven.
Some think it should resemble Hell
Both are wrong, but both are right because I am grateful.
Grass
We support clovers and dovers
doves and turtles and turtle doves
We are a disease and a cure
something to hold onto
something to rip apart
something to stop the world from spinning
Somewhere to start the carousel
a place for swings and
a place to sing.
Rose
That's just what we do...
We show up,
Make mistakes,
Learn what we can,
Arrest judgement,
Be Resilient.
Rhododendron
We bloom once, maybe twice per year
We enjoy shed'd tears
We hope to cause no fears
leaves so lucious green
flowers so pristine
bark so coarse and rough
to show that we are so tough
Sunflower
We may be the yellowest, brightest flower
But we do so much more with our power
to transform the living into the dead
henceforth the seeds we shed
pedals so small
stems so tall
We love to spread out on the grassy knoll
Be Quantum
Be a one
Ride the primal source of light into this realm
And deliver Kind Connection
Be a zero
Inhale and return to stillness. Gather strength, power, and knowledge from yourself, and yet,
From nothing.
Be the water molecule within the raindrop we came from, the clouds gathered with our friends.
Together we fall, claiming our window is the only one.
Fear of uncertain shadows the light of hope.
We hit the leaf, rolling uncontrollably to the tip.
A breath
Stillness
A light
The light
Begins to shine through the breath.
Fear has been cut, wounded in defeat, for now.
on the light, something, someone.
Too small to see and too large to comprehend.
We accept the Mystery for what it is.
Upon acceptance, A Gift.
The gift of the light
penetrating the outer layer of the water drop.
Past our friends
Past our presence
Into our hearts
Again Breathe
And with that breath, a whisper is heard
A single syllable
And with that symbol
The mystery explained.
Lavender
We have love in common,
We don't know what it is,
But we want to teach,
and share,
and learn about it.
We don't know how, but we will try.
I love you.
Rumi: In response to one who said his prayers were never answered, he never heard anything back.
"The longing you express
is the return message.
The grief you cry out from
draws you toward union.
Your pure sadness that wants help
is the secret cup."
WHAT IS GRACE - St John of the Cross
‘What is grace’ I asked God.
And He said,
‘All that happens.’
Then He added, when I looked perplexed,
‘Could not lovers
say that every moment in their Beloved’s arms
was grace?
Existence is my arms,
though I well understand how one can turn
away from
me
until the heart has
wisdom.’
Know the nature of your Beloved.
In His loving eyes
your every thought, word and movement
is always, always
beautiful.
