Love Holds No Grievances

I would see you as my friend, 

that I may remember you are part of me 

and come to know myself. 

 Love holds no grievances. 

When I let all my grievances go 

I will know I am perfectly safe. 

Love holds no grievances. 

Let me not betray my Self. 

Love holds no grievances. 

I would wake to my Self 

by laying all my grievances aside 

and wakening in Him. 

~ACIM

Deeply

To love deeply in one direction 

makes us more loving in all others.

~Anne-Sophie Swetchine

In Each Other

The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along. 

~Rumi

The Weekend

I know.  

It's old.

But it's been awhile 

 since I gave it a listen.

So, here's to the beginning...

...of the weekend's shenanigans...

"Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight..."

:-)

That is all.

Being You

Only The Horses

Because it's just so good.

...among other things.

"....There is nothing to protect ourselves
when the rain gets us wet
So I'll just tell you now
this is our final bow
If you don't know the way to
hold me let me show you how
And if this is the end
best place I've ever been
It feels so good to just get lost sometimes..."

"...only the horses..."

The Illusion

The great majority of mankind 

are satisfied with appearances, 

as though they were realities, 

and are often more influenced

by the things that seem than by those that are.

~Niccolo Machiavelli

Follow Your Heart

Remembering that you are going to die

 is the best way I know

 to avoid the trap 

of thinking you have something to lose. 

You are already naked. 

There is no reason not to follow your heart.

~ Steve Jobs

Authenticity

The authentic self

is the soul made visible.

~Sarah Ban Breathnach

I Don't Mind Intense

Every person with an ideal 

faces the danger of being called a fool or madman. 

Every great cause must be ushered into the world 

by a small majority of persons 

often denounced as cracked brains 

or ridiculous zealots. 

Someone said,

'Nobody can be genuinely in earnest 

without appearing eccentric 

in a world where intensity 

is considered bad form.'

~ Rev. Paul Osumi

Taking Direction

What matters 

is how quickly 

you do what  your soul directs.

~Rumi

Love Songs

All love songs make sense
 if we remember what it is that we truly love.
If the “you” of a song is another person,
then the song is a lie.
It has to be,
because we can never find our completion
in another person.
It always comes back to us.
~Byron Katie
