| Bio: | These are only placeholders for what is always changing. The mirrors we ponder reflect a face which ages with time and experiencing, the cycles of the heart surviving the chaos of the world, the mind seeking harbor as the spirit seeks out horizon's glow of promise. the mirror reflects the illusion of permanency as our hearts spill light and shadow light and shadow. and beneath such form, if we choose to look, breathes Truth... ~~~*~~~ "The moment of change is the only poem." Adrienne Rich ~~~*~~~ "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." ~ Anais Nin ~~~*~~~ "In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.." ~ Phil Ochs ~~~*~~~ We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. Through the unknown, unremembered gate When the last of earth left to discover Is that which was the beginning; At the source of the longest river The voice of the hidden waterfall And the children in the apple-tree Not known, because not looked for But heard, half-heard, in the stillness Between two waves of the sea. Quick now, here, now, always— A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well When the tongues of flame are in-folded Into the crowned knot of fire And the fire and the rose are one. ~ T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding, Four Quartets ~~~*~~~ "We were parted many thousands of lifetimes ago, yet we have never been separated even for a moment. We are facing each other all day long, yet we have never met." ~ Zen Master Daito ~~~*~~~ If you want to know Buddha, it's pointless to seek Him in the temple; the Buddha is simply you wishing to see Buddha. ~ Japanese Zen saying ~~~*~~~ "Be empty of all mental content, of all imagination and effort, and the very absence of obstacles will cause reality to rush in." ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj ~~~*~~~ "To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion. That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening." ~Dogen, "Actualizing the Fundamental Point" From "Teachings of the Buddha," edited by Jack Kornfield ~~~*~~~ However many holy words you read However many you speak, What good will they do you, If you do not act upon them? ~ Buddha ~~~*~~~ "If you love the sacred and despise the ordinary, you are still bobbing in the ocean of delusion." ~ Lin-Chi, The Taoist Classics, translated by Thomas Cleary ~~~*~~~ "Look at all the blind men bashing one another with the stick of intellect! LOVE is the sea where intellect drowns! ~ Jala al-Din Rumi ~~~*~~~ "Grace is always falling like rain. We just have to become open to receive it." ~ Ramakrishnananda Swami ~~~*~~~ "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite." ~ William Blake ~~~*~~~ i am a string of stories leading forward from then, a form of earth and cloud alight in the space between moments, forever unfolding a dancing pause of contraction birthing expansion in the gap of time where dark and light meet one and none in effervescent tango, a spinner of violet twilit poetry hung in open windows dancing in scarlet breezes and honeysuckle sunshine, whispered on raven's wings beneath rainbows' tears, falling silken shadows riding moon's breath, a pool of liquid sea meeting undulating sky aflight in your eyes where the stars speak of Love, the sugar of each tongue and rubicund heart glimmering as one infinite glorious jewel dancing -- this is the sound of Joy this is the sound of Joy to be found within, to resound without -- shh, Listen! ~~~*~~~ namaste ~ loose english translation from sanskrit: (with prayer hands to heart, i bow) The divine light within me witnesses and honors the divine light within you. ~~~*~~~ here in lj-land, we paint our hearts with words. reflecting rainbows off oil-pooled hope, in others, we glimmer. ~~~*~~~ | |
