The Guiding Life

A   L   O   H   A  !

"  To offer no resistance to life 
is to be in a state of grace, 
ease, and  lightness, "

Eckhart Tolle

" This City now doth,

 like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning; 

silent, bare "

William Wordsworth

" If 

you clean the floor

 with love, 

you have done

an invisible painting. "

Osho

 Life is always guiding us. 

First it intimates, 

drawing our attention 

to what we need to know.

 If we don't notice, 

Life clears it's throat. 

If we still don't heed, 

Life taps us on the shoulder; 

All before 

Life punches us 

in the face!

 Yet we like to 
complain 

how random 

and scary

 Life is -

When it's been
guiding us
all along.

Thanks for visiting!
