One day, your light
will silence the darkness,
and you will be surrounded
by the beauty within.
A.D. Posey
There is not anything
in the world stronger
than tenderness.
Han Suyin
If you love the sacred
and despise the ordinary
you are still bobbing in
the sea of illusion.
Linji Yixuan
When you were young,
trying to find your way in life,
was there a book, a routine,
devotional practice,
or daily positive that
really improved your life?
You felt renewed, and
promised yourself that
you'd never forget this
source, this treasure!
Perhaps you have made it
a part of your life
over all these years,
on your bookshelf right now.
But, you know, often
it is the things
right in front of us
that we no longer really see.
Over time, we all lose our vital,
living connection with
our wonderful treasures
in the routine press of life’s
activities and demands.
Today I invite you to revisit
the books,
ideas, and practices
that meant so much
to you on the early days
of your journey.
How could I have forgotten?
But we do.
Then once the well is cleared,
the water is sweet again.
Maybe, like me, you forgot
how sweet it really is
We Love You,
cloudia & pixie

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thank you for your daily doses of goodness :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cloudia! That lady with the dogs says tenderness to me.
ReplyDeleteSo does that mean we get to bop people on the head with sticks to help them attain enlightenment like Linji did? Cool posts today. Pixie looks like a Chan/Zen master.
ReplyDeleteQuite a way for dogs to get around.
