Meditations

Let love lead your soul

sky_texture

Let love lead your soul

Make it a place to retire to
a kind of cave, a retreat
for the deep core of being

Entrance door

How lover and beloved touch
is familiar and courteous,
but there is a strange impulse
in that to create a form
that will dissolve all other shapes.

Remember,
the entrance door
to the sanctuary is inside you.

We watch a sunlight dust dance,
and we try to be that lively,
but nobody knows what music
those particles hear.

Each of us has
a secret companion musician
to dance to.
Unique rythmic play,
a motion in the street
we alone know and hear.

Letter to ex-wife

moonI have lots of things to teach you now,
in case we ever meet,
concerning the message that was transmitted to me
under a pine tree in North Carolina
on a cold winter moonlit night.

It said that Nothing Ever Happened, so don't worry.
It's all like a dream.
Everything is ecstasy, inside.

Love in action

workerWhatever you do, do it with love, Do it to My honour and glory and never be concerned about it. When you do everything with the right attitude it is bound to be done perfectly; So take this right attitude into everything you do, no matter how ordinary or hum-drum it may appear to be. You can always make it more interesting and exiting by your right attitude towards it.

Keep ever before you that saying: "Work is love made visible." Then you really will work with joy and contentment and work will never be a chore or just something that has to be done.

What a difference the right attitude to work will make to yourselves, to all those around you, to those involved in what you are doing. If you want to succeed in what you are doing you must learn to love it and handle it the right way,

Meditations VI, 38

rhodo

Meditate often upon the bond of all in the Universe and their mutual relationship. For all things are in a way woven together and all are because of this dear to one another; for these follow in order one upon another because of the stress-movement and common spirit and the unification of matter.

(Marcus Aurelius)

Message of love

roos2 Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth...

This is the real message of love.

(Thich Nhat Hanh)

On death

grass-hopper You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day
cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death,
open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one,
even as the river and the sea are one.
