Enlightened

The disciples asked, “What does one need in order to be Enlightened?”

The Master said, “You must discover what it is that falls in the water and does not make a ripple; moves through the trees and does not make a sound; enters the field and does not stir a single blade of grass.”

After weeks of fruitless pondering, the disciples said, “What is this thing?”

“Thing?” said the Master. “But it isn’t a thing at all.”
“So it is nothing?”
“You might say so.”
“Then how are we to search for it?”
“Did I tell you to search for it? It can be found but never searched for. Seek and you will miss.”

Do not search. It’s there. Feel it. Just be it. Just be.

Divine Sunrise

My heart glows like a candle

To witness this divine sunrise.

Looks like a boundless majesty..

Feels like all the heavens lit.

And I smile and say to myself,

“How trivial is this life!”

“How divine a destiny ahead!”

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Ready for any adventure

The adventurous soul as I am

Restless like sea,

Strong and content

And all the good fortune I bring

Along my path …..

Drift Away

I can feel the wind will blow and I will drift,

I will drift into the endless time.

I won’t ask, ‘What if!’…

I will just drift away.

Flower-Fair

There are always flowers for those who want to see them

A Book

As a global community, it is imperative that we act quickly and together to confront this crisis. And this will require innovation and collaboration around the world.  It will require the use of renewable energy and new technologies. And it will give each of our nations the opportunity to build healthier communities and stronger economies

Gracefully Falling

But we have to learn to be free.

Doesn’t mean happy all the time, or okay all the time.

It’s okay not to be okay. I told you that, but I’m relearning it myself.

But not being okay doesn’t mean you stop living.

Jasinda Wilder

Fly Away

We were young, we were wild, we were restless

Had to go, had to fly, had to get away

Took a chance on that feelin’

We were lovin’ blind borderline wreckless

We were livin’ for the minute we were spinnin’ in

Baby we were a lot of things, but we weren’t crazy

Josh Gracin

His Selfless Love

The sun never says to the earth: ‘You owe me.‘

His selfless love illuminates the sky.

Becoming Happier

Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

Luther Burbank

Butterfly

Let go of the past

Trust the future

Embrace change

Come out of the cocoon

Unfurl your wings

Dare to get off the ground

Ride the breezes

Savor the flowers

Put on your brightest colors

Let your beauty show.

Just Live It

Life is too deep for words, so don’t try to describe it, just live it.

C. S. Lewis

Draw Freely – A Painting

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

Albert Einstein

The Whole World is Garden

“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”– 

Frances Hodgson Burnett

Surrender – a quote

The boat I travel in is called Surrender.
My two oars are instant forgiveness and gratitude
complete gratitude for the gift of life.
I am thankful for the experience of this life,
for the opportunity to dance.
I get angry, I get mad,
but as soon as I remind myself
to put my oars in the water,
I forgive.

I serve.
I do the dance I must.
I plant trees,
but I am not the doer of this work.
I am the facilitator, the instrument.
I am one part of the symphony.
I know there is an overall scheme to this symphony
that I cannot understand.
In some way, we are each playing our own part.
It is not for me to judge or criticize the life or work of another.
All I know is that this is my dance.
I would plant trees today
even if I knew for a certainty that the world
would end tomorrow.
