Meditations
Can you look at something broken,
and love it, without needing to fix it? Do you really think your path is harder than others? We are all of the same ocean, and must all find our way home. Inside, you have all you need. You are what you seek. I am often uncertain. But I agree to be uncertain in order to discover. On meeting a thing seek to know it's natural path, it's nature. Then choose whether or not to be in flow with it. Soul seeks flesh, flesh desires touch - touch frees spirit. Tiny red flowers, reminding me of home, and imperfect love. Hope for nothing. Fear nothing. Rest in awareness. Be free. To wait at the gate every day. To light a candle every night. The way and duty of the warrior is to be ready when Truth arrives. |
Slow down,
Breathe. Mindful attention to detail awakens the infinite. What is it that lives in the silent spaces between breaths? Acceptance: Of self, and the world. It is the seed of peace, it is the state of grace. When you practise patience with others, you grow your inner peace. Footprints in the sand tell me where you've been, but not what you experienced. There is no need for clocks. The ocean tides, the sun and your body tell you all you need to know. Breath is life. Breathe deeply. Water is life. Treasure it. Worship the wind. Celebrate the storm. Where there is nature, there is renewal. Seek out the stillness and, surrender to the flow. Lacking experience we are forced to think. Gaining experience we find knowledge. Knowledge wants us to give up thought. |
Every breath is a new life.
Every life, a new breath. The stories written in these pebbles scattered at the water's edge, rewrite themselves in the rolling wetness of each wave. Our narratives are not set in stone. Throw your heart into the great river. It will not leave you behind. One night a voice said this: Seek out the best that is in you, and then give it away. Everyone is damaged. It is the human condition. Everyone is worthy. To see these things is to have compassion. We never know what we are choosing. Love takes us on journeys we don't expect. Love is a thousand deaths and resurrections. Look with beautiful eyes, and the world grows in beauty. Surrender to the flame of meditation. Let it burn you clean until, Only essence remains. Go to the river And I will tell you everything. |
The vastness of sea and sky
cannot exceed the space of the inward turned breath. Body of a turtle on the beach, blood pooled in white sand: We're all swimming from beginning to end. Unsure of when we'll be forced to rest. There is enough time for everything you must do. There is no real difference between knowing and being. What we truly know, we are. Thoughts have weight. Learn to drop your thoughts like the snake sheds its skin, and you too will be reborn. Rain only knows itself when it's falling. Touching the earth, it forgets everything. Don't worry about the passing of time. Focus on the flow of your life-energy. Even pain eventually succumbs to silence. Breathe deeply into the wound. Discover the peace-filled spaces that exist inside it. |
