When you make the two one ... then you will go into the Kingdom. ~Gospel of Thomas Via Roxanne Chapdelaine

Things don’t happen for a reason Sweet child No Life doesn’t need a reason For happening ... It simply blooms forth With breathtaking chaos Rains down on you With senseless beauty And immeasurable heartache You can make up stories If you like About why things happen The way that they happened You can close one eye and squint To make up patterns You can tell stories of Tragedy Or perfection Curses Or blessings Or you can simply stand naked in The rain You can realize nothing Will ever really make sense Not if you’re really honest Not if you’re truly listening Nothing happens for a reason Yes, this is the truth This is it There is nothing else But your own heart Plunging Into reality Your own heart Drinking down The eruption of stars That is this radical emergence Of soul in body Of breath meeting Sky Maybe There is nothing else to look for Maybe it didn’t work out for the best Maybe it isn’t an unfortunate mess Maybe no great spirit is helping Anything go your way Maybe Just maybe Life unfolds Relentlessly With no holy plan Maybe It is sacred Just as it is It’s power and innocence Requires no justification It’s perfection requires no meaning Maybe nothing Means anything Other than what the Rose Means When it blooms It means Here I am... ~Maya Luna

The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other's welcome... and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you have ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life. ~Derek Walcott

Do not be a magician - be magic! ~ Leonard Cohen

A life truly lived constantly burns away veils of illusion, burns away what is no longer relevant, gradually reveals our essence, until, at last, we are strong enough to stand in our naked truth. ~ Marion Woodman image: John Fowler

When a flower doesn’t bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower. ~ Alexander Den Heijer [Art: Daniel Gerhartz Studio]

BLESSED Morning May you take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention. ~ John O' Donohue

I release my partner from the obligation to complete me. I release my parents from the feeling they failed with me. I release my children from the need to bri...ng me pride, so they can write their own paths to the rhythm of their hearts. I don't lack anything. I cherish my essence, my way of expressing it, even if not everyone can understand me. I learn from all beings, all the time. I honor the divinity in me and you." - (from a Shamanic blessing translated from Nahuatl) See more
