Sometimes one has to leave one's
comfort zone and take a leap of faith.

try something new, be open and be opened.
tis the way to grow and open up to new
frontiers, expanding horizons, shifting paradigms
getting out of the box we shut ourselves in
out of complacency, security, lethargy ...


SO SHIFT OUT AND FLY FLY FLY ....

Beauty

unravels the Soul . . .

A blessing for solitude


May you recognize in your life the presence,
 power and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are never alone,
 that your soul in its brightness and belonging
Connects you intimately with the rhythm of the Universe.
May you have respect for your individuality and difference.
May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique,
 that you have a special destiny here
That behind the facade of your life there is something
 beautiful and eternal happening.
May you learn to see yourself with the same delight,
 pride and expectation
With which God sees you in every moment."


Blessing be upon you

One thing I seek to point out to you: humility must always accompany a spiritual self-respect which forbids a disciple to stand anywhere upon the Path, except in his rightful place. DINA1 562.

Consecrated Effort

Patience

Solemnity

Reverence

Humility

Sacrifice

Inner Quiet
Tread with care

   I play my part with stern resolve, with earnest aspiration;  
   I look above, I help below; I dream not, nor I rest;   

   I toil; I serve; I reap; I pray;  

   I am the Cross; I am the Way;  

   I tread upon the work I do; I mount upon my slain self;  

   I kill desire, and I strive, forgetting all reward.  

  I forego peace; I forfeit rest,  
and in the stress of pain I lose myself  

   and find Myself and enter into peace. 

Go against the flo~w ,
     Think [outside] the box,
Get out of fixed paradigms…

Alongside our natural ability to empathize with others, we also have a need for others’ kindness, which runs like a thread throughout our whole life. It is most apparent when we are young and when we are old, but we have only to fall ill to be reminded how important it is to be loved and cared about, even in our prime years.

- Dalai Lama

Skipping Tru Life

Skipping through the day, skipping from yesterday, skipping through the moments that make up time, skipping in the NOW, skipping to tomorrow and into worlds unknown, experiences untold, revelations new... I am just skipping through - AS I WATCH MYSELF SKIPPING THROUGH.  A wayfarer, a voyager, an explorer exploring space and time, an initiator initiating new experiences, a discoverer discovering new discoveries. Skipping... skipping... skipping...

In the depths of Being
I sense my Self.
In deepest silence ...
stillness ...
I touch my Essence.

In a breathless tension
I perceive
A Wholeness
That lays hidden within
in repose.

I get out of my way
beyond mundane self-ish issues
in silence
within I go
and know!

Know that everything that happens in my life is as per my soul plan. People, events, circumstances are but instruments and means by which I experience all self chosen experiences. Nothing happens because someone did something to me rather they were the instruments by which I had happen to me what was meant to happen that I may experience, learn, grow and know my Self thereby. So for all experiences I am thankful for the light that has increased in me, for the beauty that has unfolded in me, for the love that has grown in me, for the compassion that has arisen in me. For this I am deeply grateful and hold no malice towards anyone.

Beauty shines forth in myriad ways; if we look closely we'll see it everywhere.

View from the plane - trip to Bangkok - Jan 2011.

Life flows. I flow with life. Up and down...unresisting...to accept what is. At times I am up, at times I am down. Always I try and remember I am not this. I am witnessing this. Yet all is as it should be. All IS now.

We hear so many doomsday stories and often wonder what life is all about. Not interested in anything and tired of sensory indulgences ... food, tv, paces and places, spiritual pursuits -everything seems to draw a blank. The psychiatrist would say it is depression. Rather something is missing in life. The mind needs something to do to keep itself occupied. Life, then, is bearable. When we come to the end of desires; to keep on keeping at the same old pastimes we are really in no-man's land - a place where we are neither here nor there - not here on Earth's playground yet haven't quite crossed over to spiritual pastures of heavenly bliss or whatever that state happens to be. This transition phase can be unsettling and one becomes moody and broody (my word) and up and down. All sagacious today and all gloomy tomorrow. Such is life. We walk the paces and trudge on regardless...

Here's a terrific exercise to help you begin creating what you want in your life..

Count your Blessings

Make a list of all of the things you are grateful for in your life. Include your friendships and family, the floor that holds you up, the warm bed that comforts you at night and the computer that enables you to connect with fascinating folks from around the world. Include also the mistakes you have made, the setbacks that have disappointed and challenged you - and all of the opportunities to change, to learn and to grow that have come from them.
Then make a list of everything you are wishing for... and as you write each one, bring it into present time. See and feel yourself having what you want, being grateful for it as if it has already happened. Feel yourself jumping for joy at achieving your goals, and see your friends and family surrounding you with love and appreciation for your good work.
When you've completed the blessings lists, affirm your dreams regularly by repeating this prayer
"Godessence grant me the grace to live with gratitude."

Make an attitude of gratitude your magical approach to life.. You'll be so very grateful that you did.

Do not wait for the perfect day to happen

See perfection in today.

By accepting what is

Without judgement of how it should be.

Knowing that

All is as it should be

right here

right now.

And be at peace with

what is.

Sometimes...
I trudge through the day
expecting a miracle
to give meaning to life.

Sometimes...
I yearn to reach up to my soul
to sing to a different tune
then what is right now.

Sometimes...
I wonder if all this is not just escapism
to get out of
the drudgery of it all.

Sometimes...
such as now
I find peace in what is
As it is.

Let change come as surely it will
Only change is unchanging
All of this is just a blink
of the eye
In the eternity of Time.
