“Soon the child’s clear eye is clouded over by ideas and opinions, preconceptions and abstractions. Simple free being becomes encrusted with the burdensome armor of the ego. Not until years later does an instinct come that a vital sense of mystery has been withdrawn. The sun glints through the pines, and the heart is pierced in a moment of beauty and strange pain, like a memory of paradise. After that day, we become seekers.”(Peter Matthiessen)
And we keep seeking, always.
In times like these
Can we look within?
When chaos reigns
Can we listen to our hearts?
When all else fails
Can we trust our intuition?
When relationships seem shallow
Can we dive deeper?
Give yourself the chance
Everyday
To ask questions
And
To feel the answers
Love Who You Are
“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of life.
In the end, to take a step without feet;
to regard this world as invisible,
and to disregard what appears to be the self.
Heart, I said, what a gift it has been
to enter this circle of lovers,
to see beyond seeing itself,
to reach and feel within the breast.”
(Rumi, The Divani Shamsi Tabriz XIII)
And for the fun of it all…
“Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.” (Oprah Winfrey)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
