Part of you

Every individual in your life reveals a part of you that you need to encounter and serves as a medium through which you can see yourself, grow in awareness and come closer to the light within.

Ever changing

"Every subatomic interaction consists of the annihilation of the original particles and the creation of  new subatomic particles. The subatomic world is a continual dance of creation and annihilation, of mass changing into energy and energy changing into mass. Transient forms sparkle in and out of existence, creating a never-ending, forever newly created reality."

The Dancing Wu Li Masters
Gary Zukav

Rushing

If we realized that the only thing we are rushing towards is death, then may be we would slow down and prolong the moment as much as we could.

The Gap

"One of the most effective means for working with that moment when we see the gathering storm of our habitual tendencies is the practice of pausing, or creating a gap. We can stop and take three conscious breaths, and the world has a chance to open up to us in that gap. We can allow space into our state of mind."

Pema Chodron

The voice

" There is nothing more important to true growth that realizing that you are not the voice of the mind- you are the one who hears it"

The middle

Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.
Extremes are constructs of the mind, deigned to stir some action.
Walk the middle path, devote to non-doing.

Nothing to fear

We tighten in order to become strong.
We close up out of fear of being vulnerable.
We distance ourselves thinking we are protecting our hearts.
All this out if fear to be hurt.
All this out of fear that others will penetrate the armor we have built.

But this fear is the ultimate pain.
The pain we cause ourselves.
Artificially edging in a sledge hammer between us and the "other".
Creating an illusion of separation.
Limiting, tightening, distancing... Until we can't breathe.
Then, only then we are,may be, willing to ask for help. And still fearfully. Still keeping the distance as we frightfully reach out a hand.

The only thing we are avoiding is the tremendous feeling of bliss. The comforting feeling of remembering who we are. The extraordinary peace of finally finding home.
The joy of being one.

We all carry that inside.
Sometimes we simply need another to guide us, to shine a light on what we have never seen.
