Infinity of The Soul

It seemed to be a necessary ritual 

that he should prepare himself for sleep 

by meditating under the solemnity of the night sky... 

a mysterious transaction 

between the infinity of the soul 

and the infinity of the universe.  

~Victor Hugo

Congratulations to all the nominees,

especially my friends at Pollyanna.

Being Alone

 

What a commentary on civilization, 

when being alone is being suspect; 

when one has to apologize for it, make excuses, 

hide the fact that one practices it - like a secret vice. 

~Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Whispers of Truth

It is only when we silent the 

blaring sounds of our daily existence 

that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, 

as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts. 

~K.T. Jong

Salute Thyself

By all means use sometimes to be alone.  

Salute thyself; 

see what thy soul doth wear.  

~George Herbert

Quiet

When we cannot bear to be alone, 

it means we do not properly value 

the only companion 

we will have from birth to death 

- ourselves.  

~Eda LeShan

Which Would You Prefer, Sweet?

There'd be no love

Without death close behind

No clinging together

If this went on endlessly.

This you, this me.

No need, 

No hurt,

No coming darkness,

So

No hope of light.

Which would you prefer, sweet?

Eternity and indifference,

Or the fragile beat of love

In the face of our finality?

~Clive Barker

Release

"Do not leave any spot of pain hidden from His light, 

and search your mind carefully 

for any thoughts you may fear to uncover. 

For He will heal every little thought you have kept to hurt you 

and cleanse it of its littleness, 

restoring it to the magnitude of God." 

- A Course In Miracles 13.3.7

Being

It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly

than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.

~Bhagavad Gita

Transformation

...if every Sunday drive, and every walk in a park, could be like this...

"How sweet it is to know that I am changing each day.
Those things that seemed to hold me back yesterday, have fallen away.
I am committed to being all I can be, now.
Write Your love in and through my life.
Illumine my path and show me the direction for my day."

 

 

Knowing

The older I get

the more I learn

about what I must unlearn.

Or...

what I don't even need to know.

There are vast differences between

knowing about something

and knowing something.

There are huge chasms of space

between knowing about someone

and knowing them.

Neither requires the other.

Thank God.

All Will Be Well

The new day dawns,
And I am practicing my purpose once again.
It is fresh and it is fruitful if I win but if I lose,

I don't know.
I will be tired but I will turn and I will go,
Only guessing til I get there then I'll know,

oh I will know.

All the children walking home past the factories
Could see the light that's shining in my window as I write this song to you.
All the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true,
All will be well.
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself,
All will be well.
You can ask me how but only time will tell.

The winter's cold,
But the snow still lightly settles on the trees.
And a mess is still a moment I can seize until I know,
That all will be well.
Even though sometimes this is hard to tell,
And the fight is just as frustrating as hell
All will be well.

All the children walking home past the factories,
Could see the light that's shining in my window as I write this song to you.
All the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true
All will be well.
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well.
You can ask me how but only time will tell.

Keep it up and don't give up
And chase your dreams and you will find
All in time.

Gabe Dixon

Spinning

...just a picture today.

Nothing profound, uplifting or thoughtful.

Come back tomorrow

Come back again and again

to find yourself

when there's nothing to find of yourself...

out here.
