Today, we offer our prayers to the people of Oklahoma who were devastated by yesterday’s tornado. Our hearts and thoughts are with them as they cope with what has happened.
There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into Light.
Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.
The peace and beauty of a spring day
Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth. ~Rumi
I give thanks for arriving safely in a new dawn,
We are one, after all, you and I. Together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other.
On this Mother’s Day, we honor our mothers, as well as everyone who embodies a “mothering presence” in our lives. We also honor our Mother Earth, this beautiful planet that gives us life. We offer our gratitude and blessings to all who play a mothering role of any and every kind.
What I mean by the Principle of Oneness is this: That we must learn to realize that theres nothing separate or apart. That everything is part of everything else. That theres nothing above us, or below us, or around us. All is inherent within us.
Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.”
When Earth is truly alive, the world is full of persons, only some of whom are human.
The world rests in the night. Trees, mountains, fields, and faces are released from the prison of shape and the burden of exposure. Each thing creeps back into its own nature within the shelter of the dark. Darkness is the ancient womb. Nighttime is womb-time. Our souls come out to play. The darkness absolves everything; the struggle for identity and impression falls away. We rest in the night.
Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything – even mountains, rivers, plants and trees – should be your teacher.
