While expecting hopefully that the environment will be changed by our collective efforts, we must also make sure...#quote Moshe #Feldenkrais

12 Jun

While expecting hopefully that the environment will be changed by our collective efforts, we must also make sure that everything amenable to human influence in each individual is used to facilitate adaptation. This will not only eliminate much misery in the present generation but also give a better chance to the next.

Today I pray...the power to act... #AA #bigbook

5 Jun

Today I pray, I ask, that I be given the power to act knowing that I have at least a half-chance to make the right decision and I can learn from a wrong one. 

For so long decision-making seemed beyond my capabilities. Now I can find joy in being able make choices.

Thank you God for courage.

...Begin the day with love, spend the day with love, end the day with love....#quote #SwamiBuaji

29 May
Be kind,
be tolerant,
be peaceful,
be philanthropic,
radiate love and affection with whomever you come across.
Thanks be to God, the creator of this human body, the architect of this human machine.
You are not this body, you are not this mind.
You are something supreme, you are something divine.
Begin the day with love,
spend the day with love,
fill the day with love,
end the day with love.
That is the way to God.
 
Swami Buaji

For any one of us who is moved by spiritual inspiration, it is important that we seek wholeheartedly until we find. And once we begin... #AndrewCohen #spirituality

1 May
"For any one of us who is moved by spiritual inspiration, it is important that we seek wholeheartedly until we find.  And once we begin to seek, we must not stop until we are convinced, at the deepest level of our being, of the mystical reality that God, or Spirit, is our own true Self...There will always be more for us to experience, to understand, and to realize, but once we are convinced of the reality of Spirit, at a soul level, we are no longer seekers.  And therefore, we have to take responsibility for what it means to be finders."

If you have to let go of distractions and begin again thousands of times, fine. That's not a roadblock to the practice--that IS the practice.
That's life starting over, one breath at a time.

I stood still. I forgot who I was...My worldliness was gone... St John of the Cross | Among The White Lilies #poetry

3 Apr
Lillies

In my chest full of flowers,
Flowering wholly and only for Him,
There He remained sleeping;
I cared for Him there,
And the fan of the high cedars cooled Him.
....
 
I stood still. I forgot who I was,
My face leaning against Him,
Everything stopped, abandoned me,
My worldliness was gone, forgotten
Among the white lilies.
