Being Open


“What produces a genuine person is being open to not feeling okay.” (Pema Chödrön)

From all of our journeys
The one within will take you deeper
To a place of love and fear
Where Being resides
And when we close our eyes
We suddenly realize
We do not want to go
What we may find scares us
Threatens us
All we want is love
But Dear, listen
Become friendly with yourself
Smile at fear
Welcome your pain
Feel your way in
And all the sudden
You have found a peace
An acceptance
A genuine feeling
That trumps all others
It is Life itself
Embracing you
All of you

This Strange Happiness

“Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being.” (Jiddu Krishnamurti)

You can’t try to sleep
You simply sleep
You can’t try to awaken
You simply wake up
All your efforts
Create more resistance
Maybe the time has come
To be okay, to be okay
Just as you are

Tolle Thursday

“Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you.”

“In today’s rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.”

“Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power if within, and it is available to you now.”

(Eckhart Tolle)

The power within, oh delightful essence
Joyous being, alive breathing
Today is yours to love

Individual Hearts 

“You will find meaning in life only if you create it.
It is not lying there somewhere behind the bushes,
so you can go and you search a little bit and find it.
It is not there like a rock that you will find.
It is a poetry to be composed,
it is a song to be sung,
it is a dance to be danced.”
(Osho)

Sing your own song, dance your own dance, compose your own poem.
Every life is unique, everyone has a different reason for being.
Meanings are entertained and created in our individual hearts.
