Whatever It Was

 

It is your own life that you desire to cherish
like one brings the downy tuft of a Dandelion to the lips
blows softly
prays
to give everything away
keep
only what remains
of a life well lived
a life well loved
nourished and blessed
by the suns and by the soils
and by whatever it was
that
finally

Opened You.

The Truth

“Above all, be true to yourself,

and if you cannot put your heart in it,

take yourself out of it.”
~Unknown

The Beautiful

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, 

we must carry it with us or we find it not. 

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Surrender Again...

If your love letters are true, dear God,
I will keep surrendering myself
to who you keep saying I am.

~Hafiz

Fate...

If you do not confront your shadow,

you will find it coming to you

in the form of your fate.

~Carl Jung

Make Room For The New

Yearning for a new way will not produce it.

Only ending the old way can do that.

You cannot hold onto the old

all the while declaring that you want something new.

The old will defy the new;

the old will deny the new;

the old will decry the new.

There is only one way to bring in the new.

You must make room for it.

~Neale Donald Walsh

The Door You've Been Looking For

"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished.

That will be the beginning."

~Louis L'Amour

"For every door that closes, there is another that opens." 
This is the door you have been looking for...

but you could not hope to find it 

while you were locked behind the first one.

~Neale Donald Walsh

Beginnings and Endings and Somewhere In Between

"Beginnings are usually scary, 

and endings are usually sad. 

but it's the middle that counts.

You have to remember this

when you find yourself at the beginning."

~Sandra Bullock

Law of Attraction

Law of Attraction says, 

"That which is like unto itself is drawn." 

Vibrations are always matched. 

So, as you experience the contrast which inspires the new desire, 

this new desire, 

whether it is a strong one or a soft one, 

is summoning unto itself proportionately. 

And as it summons, it is always answered. 

It is the basis of our Universe: 

When it is asked, it is always given.

~Esther Hicks - Abraham

~~~~~~~~~
We think in secret

but it comes to pass.

~Rev Steve Bolen

William Samford Willis

It was a beautiful day for a memorial.

We celebrated my brother in law today

with a service that included military honors

and, in contrast,

concluded with

a biker procession through a part of town.

Rest in peace Bill.

"I'm sure now that grieving and healing are the same thing sometimes, 

and magic and death are the same thing sometimes,

and trusting and failing are the same thing sometimes."

~Jorja Fox

Nonresistance

“The universe loves, protects and cherishes me. 

I am nonresistance to all things in the universe.”
~Imelda Octavia Shanklin

Opinions

"Do not search for the truth; 

only cease to cherish opinions."
