Being conscious is cutting through your own melodrama and being right
here. Exist in no mind, be empty, here now, and trust that as a situation
arises, out of you will come what is necessary to deal with that situation
including the use of your intellect when appropriate. Your intellect need not
be constantly held on to keep reassuring [...]
The sky is filled with stars and the sun…
The sky is filled with stars and the sun,
this earth with life vibrant.
Amongst it all I too have received a home,
and out of this wonder my song is born.
In the rhythm of ebb and tide of eternal time,
the world floats.
Its pull enters my blood stream,
that through my [...]

PEOPLE GET INTO A HEAVY-DUTY sin and guilt trip, feeling
that if things are going wrong, that means that they did something
bad and they are being punished. That’s not the idea at all. The idea
of karma is that you continually get the teachings that you need to
open your heart. To the degree that you didn’t understand [...]
There is a community of the spirit.
Join it, and feel the delight
of walking in the noisy street
and being the noise.
Drink all your passion
and be a disgrace.
Close both eyes
to see with the other eye.
Open your hands,
if you want to be held.
Sit down in this circle.
Quit acting like a wolf, and feel
the shepherd’s love filling you.
At night, [...]
Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day,
and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt, crept in.
Forget them as [...]
In No Strange Land
The kingdom of God is within you
O world invisible, we view thee,
O world intangible, we touch thee,
O world unknowable, we know thee,
Inapprehensible, we clutch thee!
Does the fish soar to find the ocean,
The eagle plunge to find the air–
That we ask of the stars in motion
If they have rumor of thee there?
Not where [...]
In terms of ephemeral manifestations, even the body
passes away, to say nothing of success, fame, wealth,
and rank. In terms of reality, all beings are oneself,
to say nothing of family members. If people can see
through the ephemeral and recognize the real, then
they can bear great social responsibilities and at the
same time be free from the bonds [...]
In the modern Western world, people are materially rich but spiritually poor. We
live in large homes but have very little space inside our hearts and minds.
Quantity is valued more than quality. Life is busy, over-stimulating and out of
balance. At its core, the Chi Revolution is about how we can recalim our inner
lives and achieve balance [...]
From: ‘When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times’
by Pema Chodron
“We think that if we just meditated enough or jogged enough
or ate perfect food, everything would be perfect. But from
the point of view of someone who is awake, that’s death.
Seeking security or perfection, rejoicing in feeling confirmed
and whole, self-contained and comfortable, [...]

My Spring
Yes, there is someplace
a deep place,
a lonely place.
Unreachable, unexplainable,
and mysterious in me that
longs for you.
When the air feels still
and a cool soothing breeze
suddenly brushes my face,
I know, in my heart, that
you [...]
