“Service to humanity is service to God.
Let the love and light of the Kingdom
radiate through you until all who look
upon you shall be illumined by its reflection.
Be as stars, brilliant and sparkling
in the loftiness of their heavenly station.”
Abdu’l Baha
“The golden moments in
the stream of life rush past us,
and we see nothing but sand;
the angels come to visit us,
and we only know them when
they are gone.”
George Eliot
“You were aimed from birth:
you will never be alone.
Rain will come, a gutter filled, an Amazon,
long aisles — you never heard so deep a sound,
moss on rock, and years. You turn your head —
that’s what the silence meant: you’re not alone.
The whole wide world pours down.”
William Stafford
“For what you see and hear
depends a good deal on
where you are standing:
it also depends on
what sort of person you are.”
C.S. Lewis
I see a heart, a playful otter, and a flexed bicep…
What do you see?
“The magic of purpose and of love
in its purest form. Not television love,
with its glare and hollow and sequined glint;
not sex and allure,
all high shoes and high drama,
everything both too small and
in too much excess, but just love.
Love like rain, like the smell of a tangerine,
like a surprise found in your pocket.”
Deb Caletti
“I embrace emerging experience.
I participate in discovery.
I am a butterfly.
I am not a butterfly collector.
I want the experience of the butterfly.”
William Stafford
WOW… so those dials in Lightroom are powerful creatures. After yesterday’s dive off the cliff of creativity this beauty came to life! Or was I pushed? See what you did Ron Clifford ;o). Something tells me 2013 is going to be a BEAUTIFUL year!
“From within or from behind,
a light shines through us upon things,
and makes us aware that we are nothing,
but the light is all.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“We cannot see things that
stare us in the face
until the hour comes
that the mind is ripened.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Injured Soul
Fainted Eyes
Returning
from where?
Weary feet
Weak arms
Treading
toward where?
Struggled
in vain battles
Fighting
delusive enemies
Erred by
a deception
The ancient deception
Rixa White
“The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery,
and the only thing you need to recover
from is a fractured sense of self.”
Marianne Williamson
