“Nature will bear the closest inspection.
She invites us to lay our eye level with
her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.”
Henry David Thoreau
Timeless Fractal
“As you continue to send out love,
the energy returns to you in a regenerating spiral…
As love accumulates, it keeps your system in
balance and harmony. Love is the tool,
and more love is the end product.”
Sara Paddison
Probability of Love
“All these things shall love do unto you
that you may know the secrets of your heart.”
Rumi
There comes a point in one’s life when you begin to doubt the probability of love, when you see your broken heart and/or self and the games of chance as a burden… a time when you are just done with them. And that’s the precise moment you find the key to set them free…
Brief Encounters
“In the cherry blossom’s shade
there’s no such thing as a stranger.”
Kobayashi Issa
Perpetual Prayer
“You can study God through everything and
everyone in the universe,
because God is not confined in a
Mosque, Synagogue, or Church.
But if you are still in need of knowing
where exactly His abode is,
there is only one place to look for Him:
In the heart of a true lover.”
Shamsi Tabrizi
(the spiritual instructor of Rumi)
Inverted Beginning
“In our judgment of human transactions,
the law of optics is reversed;
we see the most indistinctly the objects
which are close around us.”
Richard Whately
Beautiful Forces
“There is a force in the universe,
which, if we permit it, will flow through us
and produce miraculous results.”
Mahatma Gandhi
Clouds Delight
“Clouds come floating into my life,
no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky.”
Rabindranath Tagore
Arrow of Illusion
“He who knows that this body is like froth,
and has learnt that it is as
unsubstantial as a mirage,
will break the flower-pointed arrow of illusion,
and never see the king of death.”
The Dhammapada (c. BC 300)
Unfurlin
“Today is my day to dance lightly with life,
sing wild songs of adventure,
invite rainbows & butterflies out to play,
soar my spirit, and unfurl my joy.”
Jonathan Lockwood Huie
