“Whenever someone awakens fully,
it effects human consciousness at a collective level.
It is like dropping a stone into a dark murky pond.
Ripples of light!
Not one word need be spoken.”

Fall as They May
“May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow.
May the soft winds freshen your spirit.
May the sunshine brighten your heart.
May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you,
and may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.”
Irish Blessings
Autumn Growth
“Art will liberate itself from
the needs and desires of men.
No longer will we paint a forest
or a horse as we like
or as they appear to us,
but as they really are.”
Franz Marc
Drippin Beauty
“Everywhere water is a thing of beauty
gleaming in the dewdrop,
singing in the summer rain.”
John Ballantine Gough
Refreshingly Pink
“Colors, like features,
follow the changes of the emotions.”
Maya Angelou
Blessing Rain
“Soften my heart,
O God of living waters,
that the shower of Scripture
I am about to read
may enrich the soil of my soul.
Rain down your wisdom
in sacred streams
to carry me like an upturned leaf
through the currents of this gray day.
Amen.”

Prayers for a Planetary Pilgrim
Loving Assortment
“If you may count every drop of water in the ocean
and count every grain of sand in the sea –
multiply it by a thousand and that’s how much I love you.”
George of Langkloof
Washin Over Stone
“Don’t take anything personally.
Nothing others do is because of you.
What others say and do is a
projection of their own reality,
their own dream.
When you are immune to the opinions
and actions of others,
you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
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
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)
